The Local Church Homeless And A Kiss On The Cheek

Posted on 23. Mar, 2011 by in Religion

People come and go in our churches. Which in all actuality is rather traumatic. For them. Not for the church staff of course. But for the attender. They grow to love and be a part of our church and then a job, a relationship, or any number of things moves them away. In all actuality, [...]

How Can We Use Our Church Buildings For More Than Offices?

Posted on 08. Mar, 2011 by in Religion

When I was in the Dominican with Compassion International I saw that the local church was literally the lifeline for the community. 7 days a week. Hustling and bustling. Never empty. Actually.

It’s hustle for me.  Plain and simple. I don’t wake up and hop outta bed and sprint to grab mi Biblia. I don’t. I never have. And I think I suck because of it. But I don’t. But where there’s a Will there’s an A. Oooops. Dangit. That was that VHS series my parents made [...]

Now I did ask for it… Wow.  It is amazing how one good thing is amazing but combined with other good things is terrible. I don’t know what that means, if anything at all. But boy did it sound deep. … Los

You won’t burn in hell…but be nice anyways.

Why don’t I believe in God? No, no no, why do YOU believe in God? Surely the burden of proof is on the believer. You started all this. If I came up to you and said, “Why don’t you believe I can fly?” You’d say, “Why would I?” I’d reply, “Because it’s a matter of [...]

Supernatural Experiences

Posted on 20. Dec, 2010 by in Religion
