A Lingering Impact | The Relevant Edge
https://relevantedge.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/a-lingering-impact
Relevant, sometimes on the Edge with ministry topics, some difficult for pastors to speak about. I got up from my desk a few minutes ago to take a brief walk, needing to stretch my legs. As I headed outside I put my earpods in and started my current iPhone playlist beginning with Caedmon’s Call, as it works its way down alphabetically from where I last left off. Within the walk I came upon a familiar song of theirs, “ The Rich Song. 8230;”, I feel those very words in my soul in thinking about Brian.

We Weren’t Made to be Debbie Downers | The Relevant Edge
https://relevantedge.wordpress.com/2015/05/20/we-werent-made-to-be-debbie-downers
Relevant, sometimes on the Edge with ministry topics, some difficult for pastors to speak about. We Weren’t Made to be Debbie Downers. It most certainly does not. Totally unnecessary line of thinking, I will add. I know I can be better, I can be more positive, I know I can be a consistently positive impact in his life. Now, a little fun to go with the title of this post today. Click the link below to one of the best SNL skits ever done. :). By relevantedge on May 20, 2015. Posted in Idea Point. Enter you...

Have We Lost Our Mission Focus? | The Relevant Edge
https://relevantedge.wordpress.com/2013/12/22/have-we-lost-our-mission-focus
Relevant, sometimes on the Edge with ministry topics, some difficult for pastors to speak about. Have We Lost Our Mission Focus? We spend a lot of money and energy going everywhere but here. Well, sure. You can trace it back to at least the early 1960s. Shorter than that? So OK, this is where we are, now what are we going to do about it? I KNOW the solution is more God. I THINK the solution is to re-establish a mission field where we stand. God’s people need to fight for Him, stand up for w...Shame on us...

The Relevant Edge: December 2009
http://relevantedge.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Whatever it is, it's the truth through my eyes about today's church and what we need to do to reach people. Thursday, December 31, 2009. Legalism As It Pertains To.Appearance. You may be thinking, "Wait, isn't this the same as the one you wrote on clothing? That'd be a valid question, but this actually is an entirely different topic, and one I think most of us have lived out if we're honest about it. When someone walks into a church service and they don't look like you, how do you feel about that? The on...

The Relevant Edge: Falling Off The Mountaintop
http://relevantedge.blogspot.com/2010/01/falling-off-mountaintop.html
Whatever it is, it's the truth through my eyes about today's church and what we need to do to reach people. Monday, January 25, 2010. Falling Off The Mountaintop. Ever been to the top of the mountain in your Christian walk? But what happens when you come down? Maybe a better question would be, why do we all fall off the mountaintop? Why don't we do it? Notice I didn't ask why we "can't" do it; I asked why we "don't" do it. I'm calling all of us out here. What is wrong with us that we don't strive...If I'...

The Relevant Edge: February 2010
http://relevantedge.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Whatever it is, it's the truth through my eyes about today's church and what we need to do to reach people. Friday, February 19, 2010. Your Weakness, His Strength? My brother made a comment on the last post I'd been thinking a bit about lately so I want to place a note here to flesh out this thing that can be a problem. The problem is, how do we overcome the limits of our simple minds and recognize that even in our weakness, God can draw strength? You've seen the term "Let go. Let God."? When I went thro...

The Relevant Edge: Livin' In A Box
http://relevantedge.blogspot.com/2010/03/livin-in-box.html
Whatever it is, it's the truth through my eyes about today's church and what we need to do to reach people. Saturday, March 6, 2010. Livin' In A Box. Do you put God in a box? Is that crazy or what? Here I am, a child of the God of the universe, the One who can do anything and created everything, and I doubt His ability to create something good for me? I suspect that, truth be told, it's a little of both, but that ultimately the box we create comes from a lack of understanding His love for us. Let me ...

The Relevant Edge: How Not To Be A Pastor's Wife

Whatever it is, it's the truth through my eyes about today's church and what we need to do to reach people. Monday, January 11, 2010. How Not To Be A Pastor's Wife. Is that a touchy heading or what? Heads up, I'm not interested in discussing anyone's views on women pastors (which would change this to pastor's husband) here, so we'll stick with traditional thought for purposes of this post. Smile If you want to be a bad pastor's wife and have a negative effect on his ministry, never smile. Again, unfo...
