I’m Not Who I Was

This song title hits me. Over the course of my life I have had relationships with people whether good or bad that have left a taste in my mouth. I can’t describe it but I have this wish that people who knew me way back one way back when could see the difference in me [...]
What if Part 3
Posted: August 24, 2009 by passionburnswithin in Ministry, Philosophy, Reading, Religion, UncategorizedWHAT IF the early church had decided to yell and scream at the Romans for acting like Romans? As a youth pastor this is a never ending issue. There is always some person in the church banging their drum condemning the youth or children for acting badly in the church. I hear daily about the [...]
What The HECK!!! Where did the time go. Not only did summer blaze by but I get up turn around and my kids are in the 1st grade? Crazy I know and countless parents around the couintry are saying the same thing. But here we are the first day of school and it is surreal [...]

WHAT IF the early church had decided their primary responsibility was to be political, thus organizing protests against the Roman government for occupying their land? Thank You! Thank you! Thank you!

Many times I am asked my view on Worship in the church. Which style do I prefer? Why is one better than the other? so on and so forth. Honestly my position on worship will offend both sides of the traditional versus modern/ contemporary aisle. I think both have it wrong. I think worship in [...]
“Our People”

Matthew 25:14-20 tells a story of the talents a king distributed the talents and when he came back he demanded an account. Those who multiplied the talents were rewarded the one who sat on the talent and did nothing was punished. Today in the church we use this story to point to what good stewardship [...]
