Was in a conversation with jabberfrog about parents being a part of their child’s discipleship process and how the church can encourage it. 5and2fish posted this wake you up video. Wow is all I can say. Talk about making you think….
Let me know what you think!

passion in the church

“Have we become so preoccupied with the wedding trappings that we’ve overlooked the
Groom? The path to reigniting the church’s passion for Jesus isn’t the next program,
the next conference, or the next book. White-hot passion in the church begins when we
rediscover a love relationship with Jesus and allow that relationship to shape everything
we do.”

summer slam
Posted in children's ministry, church, vision on April 30, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I am so pumped up about our summer event this year. We are doing a 2 day event that will target the community we are located in. It is something I have never seen a church do – especially one our size and one that I know a church hasn’t done in Columbia.
Right now we’re [...]

Had a GREAT Sunday at church. God was moving – you could so feel it. I don’t know whay I am surprised by such things when I earnestly pray for them.
Had great attendance in Children’s Church — still need new name — any suggestions? KIDMO is getting on my nerves a bit, so we’ll see where [...]

* Had a great Saturday. The family went strawberry picking with about 6 other families from church then to a friend’s house for a cookout. The weather was gorgeous and the boys had a TON of fun.
* Then we had good friends over for a cookout for dinner and to play in the backyard. (Notice [...]
church plant to check out

Found a new church planting in September 2007 – Pine Ridge Church. A great one to keep an eye on — Tadd remind me of Steven Furtick at Elevation Church and Ben Arment at Reston Community Church in VA. He’s our age too! I will be in prayer for those guys. It’s exciting the movement God [...]
goal: approval of God

I am feeling unsettled. Antsy. Ready for something. Not sure what. We’ll see…
Found a great verse a few minutes ago – Galatians 1:10. “Obviously I am not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.”
That one hit me between the eyes. [...]
what a waste…

A large, predominate church in our community installed a new sign yesterday for their church. They got rid of the old sign with the marquee where you put letters in and upgraded to a new, shiny sign, looking very similar to their previous one. Except this one you could change the message with a digital [...]
small group leaders rock

I have the best small group leaders involved in Children’s Ministry EVER! (Okay – everyone involved in small group ministry probably thinks that about their leaders – so I guess I am biased! ) I love seeing workers that serve from the overflow of their lives. I can tell they are in God’s Word, [...]

*Don’t try to rush – they only move slower
Why is this true? Days I am running late to get out the door, the more I rush them, they seem to move like a snail. Or inevitably something will happen — potty break, dropped toy, spilled drink, etc.
Yesterday, I was in a hurry to get somewhere, [...]
