  • Random thoughts…

      When the democrats loose an election they complain the people weren’t smart enough to understand them.  I guess they just got smarter because I don’t hear that from republicans.   How far are we willing to push entertainment in our church services under the guise of bringing people into the church hopefully one day…

  • A New Authority

                Post modern thinkers in the church are doing their best to deconstruct everything that may have been given to us by modern/American thought processes.  One of the things I may need to agree with them on to at least some degree is our view of leadership.  Although some postmodern Christians, it seems, would eliminate…
