pulpitarian: I Could Have Told You
http://pulpitarian.blogspot.com/2015/04/i-could-have-told-you.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2015. I Could Have Told You. What I want is people to tell me. I’ve always strived to nurture a truth-telling. I’ve always tried to be a truth-teller. It has generally served me pretty well… certainly not always, but usually, and I’m able to sleep at night. As the famous scene depicts, some people can’t handle the truth. I would usually rather suffer for being truthful, than suffering with the truth. 8230; in a pretty low-key way, I shared some perspective (arguably expert. Perspecti...

Tuesday, April 22, 2014. Not of Our Ilk. I enjoyed a great meal with my friend Verlon not long ago. We have a lot in common since we don’t “do church” like most of those in our ilk. On the other hand… the way we each “do church” is very different, sharing little in common (at least on the surface). Simply put… if there is a spectrum of. Among our ilk, Verlon and I are on the far-flung, opposite ends of the spectrum. I lead a congregation. But pretty formal for an Assemblies of God. Even though we are ver...

Monday, March 16, 2015. Accreditation: A Significant Step. I was paging through my Twitter feed a few days ago when I noticed a report of a faith-based college receiving their regional accreditation. With lots of years serving in Christian Higher Education as an administrator, I’m a bit wonky. About such things… so I took notice. Accreditation is a significant step for a school. I first started to think about it when I transferred to North Central Bible College. Seeking the approval of man. Some of the f...

pulpitarian: December 2014
http://pulpitarian.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 8, 2014. Christians, we have the answers… but it is not likely just a matter of shouting the answers. Our world doesn’t need another ism. Have you noticed that the shouting is generally over isms. We identify a position and label it as an ism. 8230; racism, feminism, conservatism, progressivism, etc. … and then we shout for or against an ism. Friends, the world does not need Christianism. Jesus did not come to bring Christianism. Tuesday, December 2, 2014. Last Sunday, the first Sunday o...

Sunday, May 17, 2015. Demise of Aspirational Chiristians. Perhaps you saw the headlines last week that were based on a. Study released by the Pew Research Center. Among the headlines were included:. Study: Americans becoming less Christian, more secular. Americans are less Christian, more atheist and agnostic: Pew survey. Pew Poll: Sharp Decline In Christian US Population. The headlines and short news stories could lead us to a misunderstanding. I doubt that most reporters read the. It isn’t becaus...

pulpitarian: We Are the Network
http://pulpitarian.blogspot.com/2015/04/we-are-network.html
Tuesday, April 28, 2015. We Are the Network. It was my honor to be among the speakers at the Northwest Ministry Network's. Annual Conference today. Here is my manuscript:. I have been asked to remind us about a great way we worked together as a Network about a year ago… a time when we ministers and churches demonstrated that we are the Network. One way to think of life with Jesus. If one was going to be with Jesus, you would have to be ready for Him to respond to need. So I asked them to deputize. It see...

pulpitarian: Seriously
http://pulpitarian.blogspot.com/2015/05/seriously.html
Tuesday, May 5, 2015. Friends and colleagues have heard me say this from time to time:. I take my work seriously… but I don't take myself too seriously. Take your work seriously. Take God very seriously. But don't take yourself too seriously. I think that attitude served me well again recently. I had opportunity to serve my church family last week, the Northwest Ministry Network. Work I’m a bit of a governance wonk, so I presided as King of the Nerds. All of our work was passed without amendment. Like an...
