Train ride to Montreal…

Date January 28, 2006

I decided to take the ViaRail (the train that connects across Canada) for my business trip to Montreal this week. There’s wi-fi acccess onboard and the image of the voxtropolis login screen with the train station came to mind. It’s amazing what humans have done to stay connected.
There is something about being on [...]

I’m not sure why this image stirs me…

Date January 23, 2006

Whatever you think of Joyce Meyer (one of our top 50’s in my previous post), she helped rally 40,000 people across India to pray and reflect on Christ. Â
I’m a minority myself, attending an ethnic church, yet something wierd inside of me still thinks ‘wow, they worship our Lord too’…
I absolutely believe the Scriptures when [...]

Most influential Christians…

Date January 20, 2006

The church report’s released their annual top fifty again…
Although it always piques my interest and there are plenty of people i respect on this list, it always distrubs me to think that there are followers of Jesus spending their time doing this.
And how does Dr. Phil keep making this list?

Jesus, the skinny white model…

Date January 19, 2006

A few articles i’ve stumbled upon recently.
Article from the American Spectator thinks that 2006 might be the worst year for Jesus since 33 A.D. with reports that he was a stoner and the release of the Da Vinci Code movie.

The above photo [...]

Features of apostolic churches

Date January 16, 2006

Dr. George Hunter III in Church for the unchurched, has listed ten features of apostolic congregations
1. They take a redundant approach to rooting believers and seekers into Scriptures.
2. They are disciplined and earnest in prayer, and they expect to experience God’s actions and response.
3. Compassion for the lost and un-churched is non-negotiable.

Until then see A Disciple’s Journal for the archives.

Pouring sunlight on the streets…

Date January 11, 2006

Check out the size of those onion rings.

I’ll even disclose myself further and share the mp3 i just made of it. [...]

Small groups…

Date January 4, 2006

Just a few things to chew on from my class…
We typically have or aim for having a paid pastoral staff member for every 150 people. With a solid small group model that can be stretched to 500 people for every paid staff member… The Mormon’s with over 10 million members have a total of 12 [...]
