• Peanut Butter, Fear Factor, and Church Youth Groups

  
  Slaughter of the Sheep — Authority: 122
  Apparently, the gospel of Jesus Christ isn’t enough to bring kids into the church.  Who am I kidding?  They’re kids!  If they haven’t been raised in the admonition of the Lord, then most won’t have much interest in church in their teen years.  Some do, most don’t.  We know this.  We reach out.  We try ...

• Is your church too big?

  
  St. Aidan to Abbey Manor — Authority: 519
  I linked a week or two ago to Seth Godin, but this one is worth a bit more attention. Godin draws attention to Dunbars number , the maximum number of people anyone can meaningfully relate to. Its 150 - any more than that, and there are too many people to know and interact with. It turns from a tribe to a mass. At ...

• Seasons

  
  Enter the Rainbow — Authority: 412
  Our yard is under a blanket. The oak tree out front has let go, and now leaves cover every inch of the yard. This weekend I’ll head out with rake in hand and create enormous piles that the kids will run and jump into a hundred times before we eventually bag them all up and send them away. Next spring, that very ...

• Worship going to the dogs

  
  Cranach: The Blog of Veith — Authority: 539
  The latest in church growth worship styles: dog-centric services : When the Rev. Tom Eggebeen took over as interim pastor at Covenant Presbyterian Church three years ago, he looked around and knew it needed a jump start.

  Two articles very much worth the read: Is Truth Really Plural? Postmodernism in Full Flower A Most Ingenious Paradox Both men are Southern Baptists and both come from a faction of the SBC that is in opposition soteriologically to the vast majority. When it comes to the inerrancy of Scripture one of the things ...

• What you win them with you win them to...

  
  1517 — Authority: 434
  I can identify with the title of Jared Wilsons latest post over at First Things : "Six Flags Over Jesus." As a born and bred Texan I am well familiar with that statement. In Texas, your church is big or it aint nothin! Okay, so I may be exagerating a little; but only a little. If you think youve seen a big church in ...

  practicingtheology.com — Authority: 112
  First Baptist Dallas announced a 130 Million dollar building campaign . It is one of three very big church building projects currently underway in the Metroplex. I don’t really have a lot to say about this other than the fact that this really makes me a little sick to the stomach. What in the world has the church ...

• So, You Want To Be And Elder? Whatever…

  
  A Rose by Any Other Name — Authority: 120
  No, that cannot be the attitude. Listen to what John MacArthur says about empithymeo, the desire I spoke of in the previous post : But if we can just push the point a little bit here, I believe a man is called into the leadership of the church when he feels the passion of his heart to the extent that he doesn’t ...
