I get asked this a lot and was telling someone just today what my standard answer to that question would be. So I thought it would make a good blog post. So here it is How does a parent get their child involved in church? First and foremost the parent has to model the behavior [...]
The Right Relationships at the Right Time
So apparently tomorrow for means days later….. I talked in my last post about the right kinds of relationships that Jesus formed and how we can make the wrong relationships for the wrong reasons. While those relationships are not evil they are certainly more edifying to our self than to the Kingdom. In my ministry obviously I [...]
PATIENCE
In today’s “give it to me now” culture, Patience is a lost art form. We want our food faster, our information faster our degrees faster and our success faster. But not only do we want it faster we always want it our way. The motto for this generation could be “give it to me my [...]
