Worship Styles
We like to defend our preferred worship styles in theological terms but it's really more about your background than beliefs.via @rickwarrenThe Importance of the Gospel
The Gospel is every bit as important for growing as a Christian as it is for becoming a Christian in the first place. (via @PastorTullian)Church Planter
Here is a stunning video with a heart-breaking story. A story that I am afraid plays out more often than many of us in the church care to admit. I think this book "church planter" that by this video introduces promises to be a good read for Christian men of all occupations.Darrin Patrick serves as lead pastor of The Journey in Saint Louis, Missouri, which he founded in 2002. Darrin also serves as Vice President of the Acts 29 Church Planting Network. Follow him on Twitter.Downtown Cornerstone Church
Downtown Cornerstone Church is a new church plant in Downtown Seattle Washington. I thought they did a fantastic job one their site and their video. I love their focus on Jesus and the Gospel and how that is the answer to their cities problems. I trust God will do great things through this church.Look at their prospectus. Follow them on Twitter.Chan, Harris & Driscoll
Chan, Harris & Driscoll talk about Francis' ministry transition.via @theresurgencethe story behind the start

Risk

Proclaim the Gospel
To center on and proclaim the gospel is to be as relevant and powerful as the apostolic early church. via @jaredcwilsonVolume Computer Repair Church
I have been selling a bunch of VOIP and network equipment on Craigslist recently. We sold a large group of VOIP phones and it was kinda fun negotiating for them and getting a decent price. Today I am at my desk preparing for my Sunday sermon when my phone dings - I've got mail. Now just to be clear - I made it abundantly apparent on our craigslist post that we were a non-profit organization but this is what someone emails me... needless to say I laughed pretty good.
Hello there,
Let me know if you are capable of repairing computers in volumes.I replied... "No! We are a church and a non-profit org, we don't do volume computer repair." Course that may be a future business venture for someone... a church that does volume computer repair... who knows. I can see the sign now. Volume Computer Repair Church and Lawn Mower Shop. It might be exactly what the traditional/attractional church needs. They have baseball leagues, coffee shops, McDonalds on campus and now volume computer repairs.Sometimes stuff just makes me laugh!BlessingsGS -
