Worship SHIFT: Why the Word “Blended” Scares Me as a Worship Style. Churches suffer for many reasons. In some cases, they are subject to moral failure, to stubbornness or to attacks from the devil.

The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny Him with their lifestyle.". Wednesday, February 11, 2009. Fair warning: I'm re-reading the book " The Shaping of Things to Come. One of my favorites, and many of the concepts of these posts will be mental nuggets, agreement or argument with that book, even though I may not directly reference it. Saying is that the location of the church determines its missional natu...

The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny Him with their lifestyle.". Sunday, August 31, 2008. For those of you who "preach" or "teach" on Sundays, do you ever wonder what the point is?

Postmodern Christianity: Part I. There's 25 churches in this zip code, after all! This is the "don't-let-the-door-hit-you-on-the-way-out" approach. In fact, it might even have a nice ecumenical face: we're all part of the body of Christ, but this part has its own way of doing things. They have a point. Many peop...

The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny Him with their lifestyle.". Thursday, February 18, 2010. WORSHIP SHIFT: The No-Band Band. Find it or fake it. How about a drummer? Guitar players are more difficult, but the same rule from above apples - no one who can't keep a rhythm, which excludes more people than you think - rhythm is rarely learned.

The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny Him with their lifestyle.". Friday, November 28, 2008.
