In class my adviser, Ryan Bolger, often tells a story about a pastor of a mega-church in Arizona. One day the pastor, while walking with his son across the campus of the church he built, said, “Son, this is all going to yours someday,” and his son took a step back and responded, “I don’t want anything to do with this kind of Christianity.” It was then that this pastor realized his church was rooted in a boomer culture phenomenon (and has since gone on to rethink their mission as a church).

I know I’ve been talking a lot about gifts, but it’s the one task I know I can check off the list early, so I’m trying to knock it all out. Mr. H loved all of your input on the groomsmen gifts and it sparked some major ideas - right now we are really thinking about Weddingbee reader KJ’s idea of customized Converse shoes, which we’d have the boys change into between the ceremony and reception, and maybe a pair of funky socks to go along with the gift. But this is the idea for today; try me on Happy Dependence Day!
Tomorrow is the 4th of July, our nation’s celebration of its declaration and victory of independence from the British. Stinkin’ redcoats! Just kidding. (I’m actually an Anglophile. For Queen and Empire! Okay, maybe not that much of an Anglophile…) However, I just wanted to briefly suggest that as Christians we should think of the day (as we think of all our days, so that we’d gain a heart of wisdom) as our Dependence Day. Our dependence upon the Lord God — the one, true, and living God, who reDiscouragement and Grace
For the past couple of days, I've been working on a pastoral situation where it seems nothing has gone right. I've been heavy in spirit--discouraged really. Then last night in Bible study, two members of the church approached me separately with small gifts. Both thanked me for what they see as faithful shepherding in their lives. I can't count the number of times I've been downcast in soul and God kindly sent someone to me to point out evidence of His gracious work in and/or around me. When myReminder for Each Day

As you may know, the IPS correspondent in Gaza, Mohammed Omer, was detained last Thursday by Israeli authorities on his return from Europe where he received the Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism and went on a brief speaking tour. He is currently in a hospital back in Gaza recovering from the physical wounds incurred during his interrogation. His experience resulted in an official protest by the Dutch government and some attention in the British press, especially The Guardian and The Independhybels on leadership
The past few days I’ve been at the North American Christian Convention, the annual gathering of my tribe, participating in a couple of workshops and many great and exciting conversations about San Francisco! One of the sessions that I made my way into was a leadership lecture given by Bill Hybels of Willow Creek. I’ve long been intrigued by Hybels relationship with the Christian Church, especially after hiring Gene Appel and Mike Breaux both of whom hail from the brotherhood.

It sounds fine in Latin but has no function in English. The 1970 translators were well aware of this, but the new translators are in the thrall of a literalistic theory of translation which theA Kid-Friendly Wedding
I could not imagine our wedding without kids. My two sisters have six kids between them, with the youngest being an infant. The other kids range in ages from 3-12. With the exception of my infant nephew, all of the other kids will be in the wedding in one way or another. Lucky for us, we are having our ceremony at a place that will allow the kids to run around and play before the ceremony. Then, as luck would have it, there is a playground right next to our reception site. But I am not leavinMaster Remote Control
Every once in a while, some new device that challenges how we think about something. Remote controls usually only advance in one way by becoming more "universal", but this Master Remote Control is very different. This Master Remote Control uses "two discs which can be spun or compressed in a number of gesture patterns to interact with your TV". So instead of pushing buttons, it simplifies the controls to a series of twists and gestures. So far, this device is just in the concept stage.Wherever You Go, There You Are
more cat pictures I love this photo — it is a “funny” look at one of the most important fundamentals of comfortable in your own skin coaching. It is this simple truth: Wherever you go, there you are.

Otherwise, life will be a long, frustrating experience for you. Want to hear more about this very topic? Check out this audio snippet from
Josh wrote: If you believe that women have special and unique gifts in addition to having all the gifts that men have, rendering men superflous and possibly detrimental to the Church, you’re a feminist. In general, I think that is too simple of a summation of what it is feminists actually believe to be fair. I’ll admit that I’m no expert on feminism, but from the little bit of Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza I have read, I can gather that this is not really how a Christian feminist would define |
