I started working on a series of Best Youth Ministry Books and then sort of dropped the ball. I’m going to pick it back up, but do it a little differently than originally planned. At first, I thought I’d go through chapter-by-chapter and sort of summarize each chapter of these books. Well, there are three […]
Busyness
It’s been 8 days since my last post. There’s been a few reason’s why I haven’t been posting lately: I was accepted to Luther Seminary and have been working on doing some of the things I have to do to get ready for that. It’s amazing the amount of software they want you to have […]
100 Answers in (around) 100 Words
Over at Life in Student Ministry, Tim Schmoyer has a post on “100 blog topics I hope YOU to write.” Well, I’m done. I have tried to answer every topic with one (different) word. Some are serious, others are tongue-in-cheek. You’ll have to decide for yourself. How to use Facebook for ministry: Groups. How to […]
New Look
Decided to change the look of the blog. This WordPress theme was recently released and I fell in love. I’ll probably make some minor tweaks over the next week.
On Jeremiah 29:11
Maybe I’ll start a series sometimes on the most mis-interpreted verses of the Bible. For now, I would like to begin with Jeremiah 29:11. We see this probably most of all around high school graduation time. College graduation probably takes second place, since the kids who were Christians at high school graduation aren’t anymore by […]
Christian Fundamentalist Shenanigans
Wow. Apparently Chuck Swindoll is too “liberal” for some folks. He was dropped by a radio station (or network, I don’t know) for using vulgar language like “crap” and “balls”. They have kept a seven-year running tally of offenses: Go here for an introduction. Go here for the full release on Slice of Laodicea. Have […]
Good Company
I was listening to the recent Youth Specialties Podcast with Tony Jones and heard a quote from Tony that is quite encouraging. According to Tony, the average article in a scholarly academic journal gets read by four people. Four. I guess my blog traffic is in “distinguished” company.

Benny Hinn got a new airplane. And he needs YOU to help cover the $6 million down payment! HT: Tim Challies
Albert Mohler is postmodern!
I know, I couldn’t believe it either! But he’s definitely treading very closely to postmodern hermeneutics with this post. (For those who don’t know, Dr. Mohler is the president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, has his own radio show, and chairs or is the president of 847 committees and organizations. He also speaks a million […]
Icy Driving
Since we are experiencing a little winter storm here in DFW, I thought I would offer a public service announcement: If anyone happens to be watching WFAA’s news and weather coverage today, the traffic lady has been saying over and over to leave plenty of room between you and the car in front of you: […]
