A Legacy of Gluttony
Those of you who are old enough (children of the 50’s and 60’s) will probably remember your parents telling you to clean your plate because “children in China were starving.” It never made sense the way they said it. Wouldn’t it be impractical to gather up the brussel sprouts that my sister and the dog and I didn’t want, and ship them over to China to help those kids? And how would my consumption of those disgusting green balls help those Chinese kids anyway? Obviously, we missed the point entirely, but so did our parents!
French Toast – Just Enough To Get To Heaven
There has been an interesting discussion going on in recent weeks about what exactly will qualify a person to inherit eternal life. I have come across as much watered down doctrine as I have over the top legalistic doctrine, which has left me asking why so many people seem to be set on doing “just enough” to get to heaven? While the over the top doctrine pushers would have you believe that you must believe exactly as they do, the watered down faction seems to be seeking the quickest, easiest, cheapest ticket that will be accepted at the pearly gates.
A Simple Yet Profound Leadership Lesson
I would really love to give credit to the proper person for this, but honestly the notes on my desk got shuffled around and I can’t seem to connect with which one of the presenters at the event is responsible for this teaching. It is so simple, yet so profound. I would also add that although this is directed at church leadership, the principals are valid for excelling as a leader in any profession or walk of life.
What If Joseph & Mary Had Facebook?
Most impressive to me this year however is the way the story and the message of Christmas are being shared in a more contemporary way, and since that is the call on my life, to reach young people with the word of God in their comfort space, I am just thrilled at the creativity I have seen this season in the sharing of the Gospel message.
