Church: Supersize It?

A while back, I spotted a visiting couple in church, sitting quietly in a pew about halfway up the right-hand side, by themselves. They appeared to be in their late-fifties, very Midwestern, and uncomfortably conscious that there was nowhere to hide. So, of course, I barged right up to welcome them. They looked a little shell-shocked at being approached, though they each managed a weak smile and greeted me in an unmistakably northern accent. I welcomed them to Messiah and wanted to make sure th… Continue

Got Stuff?

Our neighborhood sponsored a yard sale event the other day, and more than four dozen households participated. We were one of them. My wife, Cheryl, and I...well, mostly Cheryl...endured the arduous, several-day process of sifting through our stuff and determining what needed to go. It was miserable. I know, because she told me. She said, "This is miserable." I had the good sense to nod politely, look sympathetic, and run for the hills. On G-Day (garage sale day), we awoke early to a vision of… Continue

Family, Church and Country

Danger, danger, danger, if you are not ready to read this please erased now, because you are about to enter "in the no spin zone" of "the word of today " Parenting is not easy! During the past four decades the American family has lost a lot of strength, stability and overall health. I know you would agree with me that as the family goes so goes the future strength of our nation and the church. Just at a time in our nation’s history with the economy faltering and what seems like almost a gener… Continue

People are our bussines

How do people feel when they step inside our building, are we make them feel at home, or we do not say anything to them? How they see our church? How they see our leaders? In fact, How they see everybody once they sit down? Those are question that make me realized that we have one opportunity to be friendly to the people that visit us the first time, and after that they will take the decision if they wants to come back or not. Our church is the house of the Lord, we need to do thing the way th… Continue

What do you see?

Let not what you see predict what comes out of your mouth, but rather let what comes out of your mouth predict what you see. Meaning to say if you want to be happy then start saying that you are happy. If you want to have peace then start thanking God for the peace that He has given you. If you want more money then ask Him for more money. And let it all be to give Him glory. He is the good Father and we are His children. One Love, God is Love. Continue
