The Blog of Jared Kirk: Anger Toward God - SOAPs
http://www.jaredkirk.com/2014/10/october-23rd-soaps-2-samuel-54.html
Thursday, October 23, 2014. Anger Toward God - SOAPs. And David was angry because the Lord had burst forth against Uzzah. And that place is called Perez-uzzah to this day. I shouldn't deny my emotions toward God. But neither should I let those emotions determine my whole relationship with God. Part of growing from a child to an adult is feeling powerful emotions and acknowledging them without being ruled by them. So I must be toward the Lord. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Blog of Jared Kirk: August 2013
http://www.jaredkirk.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 06, 2013. How To Know If Your Faith Is Too Small. What a scary place to be. When you've read the last book. When you can do it in your sleep. When you know it all backwards and forwards. When "I've got this." When you don't need Jesus. When your goals are easily attainable, you faith is too small. God calls to those with the ears to hear and invites them to accomplish the absurdly impossible. God is inviting you to dream his dreams and to need. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Blog of Jared Kirk: Frontline Ministry
http://www.jaredkirk.com/2014/11/frontline-ministry.html
Friday, November 14, 2014. HOW you live at 10:30am on Monday says more about your faith than WHERE you are at 10:30am on Sunday. The church is not where "frontline" ministry happens. The church is where "supply line" ministry happens. Christians are equipped and engaged at church gatherings to fulfill the mission of Jesus (love God, love people last time I checked) in their workplaces, homes, and neighborhoods.

The Blog of Jared Kirk: April 2014
http://www.jaredkirk.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 23, 2014. I'm a professional hoop jumper. It's not that I'm in Cirque Du Soleil or anything, but if you tell me it can't be done or hint that it is incredibly difficult then I'm all in. The higher you lift the hoop, the more I want to jump through it. That's how I ended up an Eagle Scout. And that part of me is still alive and kicking enough to want to plant a church in Boston where under 3% of the residents attend an evangelical church. Coming to God with your moral performance or your ...

Wednesday, April 03, 2013. I live with a dirty secret. And I keep it a secret because, well, no one should like. Doing that. Right? So here is my question for you. Where do you need to dig down deep and discover the joy that comes from fulfilling God's purposes in your life? Plugging away at the spreadsheet? Where do you need to dig for joy?

http://www.jaredkirk.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 08, 2014. A Message to College Students. Stop looking around and start looking up. Consider that what God says about you is the thing which most defines your identity. You are loved. You are valued. You are chosen for a purpose. Stop trying to find yourself, you've already been found! You've been found because Someone thought you were valuable enough to search for.

The Blog of Jared Kirk: Building God's House
http://www.jaredkirk.com/2014/10/building-gods-house.html
Friday, October 24, 2014. Being a Christian is sort of like being Bob Vila (@BobVila in case you wanted to know). All the good things that have happened in your life happened, not because you were focusing on yourself, but because you spent your time building someone else's house. Now I know that is extraordinarily cheesy compared to my normal tone, but look at this passage today, and you'll know why I couldn't help myself. So David thinks to himself,.

Friday, November 22, 2013. 3 Reasons You Can't Trust the Bible. 1 It will wound you personally. If you read the Bible long enough you will discover that it pulls no punches. It speaks the unadulterated truth about who you really are. All the pleasantries, the euphemisms, and the rationalizations melt under the withering light of the Scriptures. 2 It will contradict your values. The Scriptures teach that different values than your own should be the dominant values of your life. Of course, the thoughtf...

The Blog of Jared Kirk: 5 Steps to Reinforce Values Weekly
http://www.jaredkirk.com/2015/06/5-steps-to-reinforce-values-weekly.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2015. 5 Steps to Reinforce Values Weekly. How do you anchor values in Scripture, tie them to behavior, and make them inspiring? That's not a skill everyone possesses, but it is a skill everyone can learn. All ministry leaders-paid and unpaid-must reinforce their values to their team on a weekly basis. There are many creative ways to do this, but the simplest way is explaining it to people each week. For example our children's director will be rotating, on a weekly basis, through her.
