  BrianBloye.com — Authority: 99
  This morning was Vision Sunday at West Ridge Church. This is one of my favorite Sundays in the year, because we get to celebrate what happened in the last year and I get to talk to the church about where we believe God is leading us in the new year. The following is a brief snapshot of what I talked about this ...

• Three weddings and a funeral

  
  B L O G P A S T O R — Authority: 119
  It began with my son listening to his Japanese love albums. Overhearing, I found them catchy despite not understanding the lyrics. It sort of grows on you. I have watched many episodes of Japan hour and even caught some J movies and serials. Lately, I have used Japanese tracks for some of my slides in YouTube and ...

• The Rank of Religion in Colorado

  
  Every Thought Captive — Authority: 117

After all, with several mega churches and several internationally known parachurch organizations in town, how many people could be left here that are not Christian?As it turns out, a lot. And not just in Colorado Springs, but in all of ...

• The War on Advent

  
  Painfully Hopeful — Authority: 103
  During one of my Advent sermons this year I remarked, “I don’t think there really is any such thing as a ‘War on Christmas.’  At least, if there is one then they’ve apparently missed.  I do, however, think there might be a ‘War on Advent,’ and that churches and retailers are inadvertently allied in ...

• Do You Read Sermons?

  
  Jesus Creed — Authority: 614
  I do not have a life-long habit of reading sermons, though I have read sermons at times in my career. I have numbers of pastor friends who routinely listen to sermons and do so for both formational reasons and for their own development as preachers. I tend to use my quieter times for praying and for pondering and for ...

• Losing Focus in a Small Church and What to Do About It

  
  Pastor's Perspective — Authority: 109
  Everyone can lose his or her focus, given enough time. Churches are no different. Within one generation a church can move from a vibrant soul-saving beacon of light, to a dim ember that is about to go out. I’ve seen it. I’ve pastored in those churches. But in Jesus Christ there is always hope. Just as Jesus called ...

• The coolest quote on pastoral work EVER.

  
  A Classical Presbyterian — Authority: 92
  May this classic selection from a charge to a congregation from  John Broadus , modified in 1990 by John MacArthur, call all of us who pastor today to keep the main thing at the center of our work: Preaching the WORD: Fling him into his office, then tear the "Office" sign from the door, and replace it with a ...

The response has been pretty positive, and I have decided to bring them here to the mainstream of my efforts to reach a broader audience.Now, I realize there is a danger in doing something like this. My readers may not like it ...

• Introverts in a Church for Extroverts

  
  Jesus Creed — Authority: 614
  Every now and then a book comes along and I say, "Wow, thats a great idea for a book!" Adam McHughs new book, Introverts in the Church: Finding Our Place in an Extroverted Culture , is that kind of book. We need this book, and every (especially an extroverted) pastor needs to read it. McHugh is a Presbyterian ...
