    A couple of days ago, I confessed on twitter that one of my favorite blogs to read is Ann Jackson’s “Flowerdust.” Now, I know that blogs are a dime a dozen, everyone it seems, has one or has had one in the past. Aside from the few really big ones we all hear about, the…

    Church has adopted a culture of talk, dress, likes, and dislikes. The Church has developed it’s own culture. It’s not that hard to spot a pastor in your local Starbucks. You can tell by the clothes he’s wearing, the coffee he’s drinking, or even the computer on his table. The Church has become another culture.…

    Matthew 18:15-20 is one of the easiest passages to understand. It’s not that difficult to realize that when you have an issue with someone, you go to them FIRST.

    “You are appreciated.” Sometimes leaders fail at making people feel appreciated. Sometimes the pace of leadership causes a leader to forget about the people that really make things happen. If you’ve ever supported a church or organization, you know what it’s like to give and never receive any reward. You work tirelessly, but never get…

    States across the country are revising their child pornography laws to adjust the punishments for what has become known as “sexting” — distributing sexual images via cell phone. Many states have relaxed the charge, previously considered a felony, for minors because minors are making up an increasing percentage of the people charged with sexting. In…
