Why couldn’t God add 100 people to our Ministry Team this year?

RCA is going for it.

We should too. Let’s do it. Why shouldn’t we?

In other news:

Alter Bridge. What Creed might have been? It’s weird hearing Creed without Scott Stapp singing. Check out their first single.

Relevant Magazine had a very well done editorial on the quesiton “How far is too far?” It is a question that many Christian couples struggle with in their relationship, and in my opinion, they shouldn’t have to struggle with it.

Even if you are clear (or semi-clear) about this topic in your mind, this article is worth a read, and serious thought.

What about, ³How much of myself would I like to keep pure and untouched for the person I intend to marry one day?² or ³How much would I love to keep special for my marriage partner so that on our wedding night they will receive what nobody else has even come close to receiving from me?² How about, ³Do I value the person I will one day commit the rest of my life to so much that it is worth sacrificing some personal, short-term fun and satisfaction now in order to have something unique to give them later?² Starting to see the picture? What is the main difference between these two statements? ³How far is too far?² is all about me ­ What do I get? How much do I get out of this deal? How do I get sexual satisfaction? ³What can I keep special?² is all about the person I am saving myself for and treating them with absolute love and putting-them-firstness.

The only problem I see with this article is that it doesn’t mention Ephesians 5:3: But among you there must not even be a HINT of sexual immorality!

We’re back from Mission to the City. Phew, what a week. Full report coming soon, but first things first!

We got a kitty! Meet Archimedes (“Archie” for short).

A bunch of new photos are up in our Photo Gallery. Check them out.

Okay, I harp on this every once in awhile. Seems like an almost weekly occurence. But over at my Web development site I’ve compiled a few articles on huge reasons you should switch away from IE. It’s just not safe to use.

Why IE is not safe to use anymore

Switch to Mozilla Firefox

If I had a way of forcing you to read this, I would. It is a book (more like a really long essay) that Tom Short did a seminar on at the GCC Pastor’s/Leader’s conference.

Check it out:

The Principles of War – A strategy for group and personal evangelism

The whole book (essay) is online because the book is out of print. Go read it immediately (or if you don’t have an hour, print the whole thing off, then read and highlight as you go).
