A friend of mine, Rick Melheim, sent me the following and suggested I put it on my blog. It’s worth taking the time to read.
I watched six hours of the “LOST” show, the final episode, and Jimmy Kimmel’s post-show interviews last night and woke to write a piece called “Lost… Without Jesus” at www.richmelheim.com just […]
We live in a world about which one of the only things we can say for sure at the moment is that it is set on speed. Things get faster and faster every year.
That’s one of the reasons I don’t understand people who will allow emails to sit for days on end instead of answering […]
I just returned from speaking to the Presbyterian Church of Canada. While I was there I learned from one of the bookseller that my book, A Second Resurrection, made the bestseller list on www.Amazon.ca.
This is good and bad news. Good that this book is selling well, but bad that so many churches are in such trouble that […]

I’m doing a seminar in a large church in the south. I’m nearing the end of the second of five days and speaking to the congregations when someone raises their hand and says “What you’re saying suggests you’re a young man in an old man’s body.” He was referring to my understanding of the new world […]
Alan Hirsch continues to give us much to think about. His new book, Untamed, is a book you must get and not only read, but make sure your key leaders read it and have a group discussion on it. It has the potential to revolutionize the way your leaders think about Jesus.

It’s not to late to invite a friend to worship this Easter Sunday. In fact, if you have a staff, why not ask each of them to invite at least one friend today or Saturday and offer to go by and pick them up.
