Dee and I hope to have everything packed up and ready to move by tomorrow. We’ll be moving most everything on Saturday morning (with the help of a few friends). We’re excited to say the least about the new place. It’s a bit closer to the church and still has good access to the interstate [...]

I‘ve been fighting this allergy / sinus funk for several days now. This morning I broke down and went to the doctor. Sure enough, I’m allergic to nearly everything that is out and about for the next month or so (living in Pollen, AL). Got some nose spray, antibiotics, antihistamine/decongestant and a steroid shot. Hope [...]
I would like to unpack a bit further the issue of our last post (Sunday-Monday divide). I appreciate the comments shared thus far. The replies have been very helpful. Sonny brought out a good point concerning the transition that occurred in the church’s identity during and after the time of Constantine. For those who are [...]

I’m sure you’ve heard ministers admonish men, women, boys and girls “just to receive Jesus into your heart” or “all you have to do is believe in Jesus.” My question is whether our neatly encapsulated message is the proper way to go [...]

Shannon and I have been out of town for about a week and a half. I had a math conference in Gainesville, Florida for a few days. On our way back to Ga, we visited some friends in Valdosta (Jason, Candy and Joshua). Then, we went to visit our families in Vidalia, GA while Shannon [...]
Entering the room, I didn’t know exactly what to expect. I knew that it was a wonderful opportunity to be able to meet and talk with some fellow ministers concerning what it means to follow Jesus Christ and lead others in this path. Young in ministry and in my overall walk with God, there is [...]
I was thinking this morning about how our churches (for the large part) seem to be homogeneous, meaning, the people in our churches all seem to look alike and be very much alike. I wondered is there a place for the marginalized of our society in our church, or would we marginalize them the same [...]
Today, I would like to continue our journey through Vondey’s work, People of Bread: Rediscovering Ecclesiology. In previous posts (Feb-8 Theological Imagination, Feb-9 Imagine That, Feb-11 To Image or Not to Image), we surveyed the importance and role of images in the Church. Chapter two is called Companionship: The Social Nature of the People of [...]
