Missional Monday

I think the essence of being missional is seeing people the way that God sees them and truly hearing them. I would like to share a couple of quotes today that express that sentiment.
Brian at Just an Apprentice shared this thought…
“But what does it mean to see the world the way God does? [...]

Sunday Revival

An inspiring article…
Scot McKnight shares about living the Jesus Creed. I appreciate that a scholar/theologian like Scot lives his faith. It is reflected in his writing.
Interesting discussions…
In the previous week’s links, there were quite a few discussions about the gender of God. This week I came across several posts about gender roles.
Who [...]

Losing My Religious Security Blanket

I have been putting off writing this post. I am afraid it is overly transparent.
When we first decided to leave our CLB, I remember crying to my husband, “I don’t want to be churchless!”
The plan was that we would recover from the spiritual abuse, we would hang out at the local community church for [...]

A Good Night of American Idol

I tell you, some of the best music came out of the late 70’s.
You should’ve been there.

Best artist of the season

Not my favorite song, but another great performance.
The best artists often don’t win on this show, but usually they do as well [...]

Missional Monday

What we’ve done to make sure that discipleship is taken seriously is embed within the covenant of each group a certain set of practices. The problem with most communities of faith is that they are confessional—they’re saying the right things, but they don’t address behavior.
So what we did is develop a set of practices designed [...]

Sunday Revival

This is exactly how I felt since November with tax season approaching, then suddenly here in January, and still finding myself behind the curve in March.
Friday was Good for me because I finally dropped my shoebox off at the accountant (not really a shoebox – it’s kind of an inside joke for people who work [...]

Mini-church Done Badly?

“I’m not really a proponent of house churches, since most of them are quite insipid in my opinion.” (Frank Viola)
“We can talk a lot about a 24/7, Jesus-following lifestyle, but the reality is often that the only real change is that we gather in a small, participatory gathering rather than a large, stage-oriented one.” [...]

Hit the Wall

Wow, I didn’t see that one coming.
Reading, blogging, and thinking about church has been like my hobby for the last couple of years. I have been sincerely interested in the things that I read about.
Today, I suddenly feel done with it.
It feels a little scary, because I should be interested. I wonder what [...]

Missional Monday

There are several posts that I want to connect for this week’s Missional Monday, [...]
