JOEL...GET TO THE POINT: April 2007
http://joelspoint.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
JOELGET TO THE POINT. Monday, April 30, 2007. Barna research suggests that most Americans consider themselves average in 7 areas of spiritual life.but most could think of no (nada, zilch, zero) areas in which they would like to improve. The article I read implied that this was a survey of "Evangelical Christians", but I coulnd't verify that this was the case. Anyway.the survey examined 7 different aspect of spiritual development, asking respondents to rate themselves on a 5-point scale. The fact that so ...

JOELGET TO THE POINT. Monday, July 31, 2006. Friday morning we drove to Bowling Green, Kentucky. For the uninitiated.this is the location of both the Corvette Assembly Plant and the National Corvette Museum. Doesn't this sound like. The perfect place for a family gathering? Tracy's mom and brother (huge car fans and co-owners of a '72 red vette with t-top) drove up from the Carolinas to meet us for supper. We were up bright and early Saturday morning to arrive at the museum for opening time. Well one tim...

JOELGET TO THE POINT. Saturday, September 30, 2006. I came across this article on the new movie Facing the Giants :. The Motion Picture Association of America is crystal clear when it describes why its "PG" rating exists - it's a warning flag. What the MPAA said is that the movie contained strong 'thematic elements' that might disturb some parents," said Kris Fuhr, vice president for marketing at Provident Films, which is owned by Sony Pictures. Provident plans to open the film next fall in 380 theat...

JOEL...GET TO THE POINT: February 2007

JOELGET TO THE POINT. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Why is the Discovery Channel and cross-marketing of a new book all of a sudden creating a clamor over a tomb that was discovered and documented back in 1980? Dr Witherington just read the new book (which accompanies the film's debut on Sunday). I'd encourage you to read some of his additional thoughts (added since my below post from yesterday). Click here. That is an unfortunate leap that leads you to false certainty of your data. Then they say the othe...

JOEL...GET TO THE POINT: January 2007
http://joelspoint.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
JOELGET TO THE POINT. Tuesday, January 30, 2007. What does jesus reveal? At Faith, we are diving into a Sunday teaching series called "The Historical Jesus". We're taking a number of weeks to bypass studies of theology, and to just simply look at what the Gospel Narratives describe about the life, personality, Jewishness and culture of Jesus. What amazes me about the study of Jesus is the realization that He gives us the window into God's nature. We don't have to wonder, "What is God like? Just read the ...

JOELGET TO THE POINT. Thursday, August 31, 2006. This Sunday is Labor Day weekend. It's always a guessing game when it comes to how many people will be at church for a holiday weekend. At Faith Church, we used to kind of let our "B" game service slide out and we saved our "A" game services for any time other than a holiday weekend. Posted by Joel Gorveatte @ 8/31/2006. Wednesday, August 30, 2006. Oh by the way, this pastor said these things in 1723. And do you know whom he was talking about? The revoluti...

JOELGET TO THE POINT. Tuesday, October 31, 2006. Peter Drucker used to do these great seminars where he would teach all these amazing leadership principles. And at the end of the day he would hand out a blank sheet of paper and say,. Now I want you to write down all the ideas that you plan to go home and implement from today. Everybody would just sit there and write furiously. They had learned such great stuff. They couldn’t wait to go home and start to try all these new things. How am I going to do that?
