What a book! Every Christian who feels in their gut that there must be more to their faith than they are experiencing should read this book. Every church leader who knows he or […]
It’s hard to believe how stupid and un-Christian so-called Christians can be. The pastor, Terry Jones, who burned the Koran today, ought to be kicked out of the church. No mercy for an idiot of his kind who presumes to be called by God. Shades of the Crusades. This man needs to be defrocked. […]

They didn’t teach me management skills in seminary. I wish they had, because as the leader of a church, I needed them badly and it’s a shame I had to learn them on my own. So I thought I would pass on some pointers.
Pointer One: If you can’t measure it, it will not succeed. […]
In the first and second centuries, the leadership capacity of a Christian was seen in whether they had been with Jesus or had been associated with one of the original disciples rather than what they believed. What they taught or believed was overshadowed by whom they had been with. Relationship with Jesus or his […]
Recently I’m running into a lot of writers who are asking the question “If we all serve the same God, why is Christianity growing all over the world except Europe and the U.S.?” I find that am important question. The problem is most of the answers I’m seeing deal with fringe issues and don’t […]
