“Taking It Deeper” Weekly Discussion
May 17th, 2012
Sermons…not just for Sunday anymore! Join us to dig into this past Sunday’s sermon.
The Most Common Problem
February 29th, 2012
“When working with couples, what is the one problem you encounter most often?” That’s a question periodically posed to me in social settings, and it’s an easy question to answer. With almost every couple I see, “thinking and speaking” on one another’s behalf nearly always arises. You know what that’s like, just when you’re ready [...]
Join the Church; Change the World
December 19th, 2011
“Don’t tell me how to worship God. My faith is between me and God, and yours is between you and God. You have no right to butt into my relationship with God.” I wish I had a dollar for every time I have heard this. It’s an error that, unfortunately, seems prevalent in our society whenever discussions [...]
Thanksgiving Time
November 22nd, 2011
by Laura Ingalls Wilder originally published in The Missouri Ruralist, November 20, 1916 As Thanksgiving day draws near again, I am reminded of an occurrence of my childhood. To tell the truth, it is a yearly habit of mine to think of it about this time and to smile at once more. [...]
Advice for the Sermonally Challenged
October 21st, 2011

This is also the importance [...]
A Modern Psalm

Pantav Elkuso (Greek for: All will be drawn) Dorothy Sayers GO, bitter Christ, grim Christ! haul if Thou wilt Thy bloody cross to Thine own bleak Calvary! When did I bind Thee suffer for my guilt To bind intolerable claims on me? I loathe Thy sacrifice; I am sick of Thee. They say Thou reignest [...]
The Meaning of Membership (part 2)
September 17th, 2010
Eighteen years ago, I asked the girl who would become my wife to marry me. This action was fraught with meaning. In this action I declared my love for her. With it I committed myself to her for the rest of our lives. And through it I pledged to her all that I had. Like [...]
Membership (part 1)
No Christian and, indeed, no historian could accept the epigram which defines religion as “what a man does with his solitude.” It was one of the Wesleys, I think, who said that the New Testament knows nothing of solitary religion. We are forbidden to neglect the assembling of ourselves together. Christianity is already institutional in [...]
My Sincere Apologies
September 7th, 2010
When you hear the name “Tiger Woods,” what comes to mind? Images of clutch putts and fist pumps? Thoughts of purchasing a Buick? Or do you envision a spoiled brat cursing noisy fans for interrupting his focus? Whatever your thoughts used to be, they’ve likely changed since his plunge from grace this year. Tiger cheated [...]

The article outlines how Facebook is planning to take advantage of the selling power of friendships to boost their ad revenue. In it Facebook’s chief operating officer is says, “Marketers have always known that the best way to sell [...]
