I have been driven from my bloggy slumber by this awesome and short two minute video on the Missional Church. If you already get the difference between a missional church and an institutional church, repost it for others to share. If you don’t get it, then by all means, spend the two minutes to watch. [...]

A while ago, I posted a great video as pt. 1 of a Missional Conversation between Ed Stetzer and David Fitch, but I never saw the follow up videos.
I found them today and wanted to share, so here are all of them:
Ed Stetzer & David Fitch – a missional conversation from Missional Tribe on Vimeo.

I’m really excited about Doug Baker coming to Oklahoma and manning the helm of our state’s Baptist Paper. Once disregarded by me as a “newsletter” full of the latest “get on the bus” propaganda, Baker brings credibility and an unflinching resolve to The Baptist Messenger, allowing him to take on the real issues facing churches.
Exemplifying [...]

Next week, Union University will be hosting a conference entitled Southern Baptists, Evangelicals and the future of denominationalism.
I’m excited to be attending for several reasons, not the least of which is that the topic fascinates me. I am anxious to hear the thoughts of those being brought in to speak to the issue.
Further, the SBC [...]

Did I actually just say that? Yup. I’m pretty sure I did. I might clarify by saying that I don’t think you grow a HEALTHY church that way.
The thought process has gone, for decades, that if you have a great Children’s program and then a great Youth program, you will draw the kids and then [...]

Most, not all, evangelicals I know are Republicans (I typically vote that way) and as such are duty bound to despise the welfare system. Whatever good it may do could never outweigh the horrific and crippling results of people becoming dependent on handouts… or so the line goes.
Failure to work for oneself corrupts character and [...]

Amazing two minutes of video:
If we are to engage North America as missionaries, then we have got to deconstruct our own context and see it for what it is. If culture is our god, then we are doomed, but if culture is our language, we can communicate.

I remember, over 20 years ago, reading Charles M Sheldon’s book, “In His Steps.” In that book, feeling himself challenged by a vagrant who is marginalized by the people of “First Church,” a pastor challenges his congregation to ask themselves the question prior to choosing a behavior, “What Would Jesus Do?”
The book was old when [...]

So a few weeks ago, as I was at my in-law’s house about to head with them to a family reunion vacation for the week, I got a call from Alan Cross.
He started with the line, “I’m trying to get the band back together.”
Flattered that he thought me essential, but wary of being drawn back [...]
