Everybody’s Wierd
One of the most ironic remarks about the Bible I hear from time to time is when someone says that it’s a book about pious, stained-glass characters who do not reflect the real world. I always know that means they haven’t read it. Have you ever noticed how many messed-up families there are in Genesis? […]

Simple Steps to Small Group Outreach
Break into smaller discussion groups. During your group meeting, perhaps after you have all had a chance to catch up, divide into groups of three or four people. This fulfills three goals: It gives group members (especially the quiet ones) a chance for more prolonged and meaningful conversations. It begins developing potential leaders for future […]

Why is getting along so hard?
In certain stores you will find a section of merchandise available at greatly reduced prices. The tip-off is a particular tag you will see on all the items in that area. Each tag carries the same words: as is. This is a euphemistic way of saying, “These are damaged goods.” Sometimes they’re called slightly irregular. […]

I need to worship
We are to worship God, not because his ego needs it, but because without worship, our experience and enjoyment of God are not complete. We worship God not so much because he needs it, but because we do. I need to worship. I need to worship because without it I can forget that I have […]
