Service Times and The Big Game!

Recently a man I respect and admire wrote an article about how we determine our approach to scheduling church services during big sporting events like the one coming up on February 7. What will the churches do especially if they are rooting for teams that could be headed in that direction? John Pratt, a pastor and teacher at Central Seminary in Plymouth, Minnesota addresses this topic.

He brings out several things that we all should wrestle with even if you are not a sports fan, but have any activities in which you are an enthusiast. Let it challenge you as much as it did me.

"That's My King!"

A friend of mine put me onto this. I had heard this some time ago, but this was just too good not to put into my collection of "hold onto your hat" segments. This is a portion of a message from Dr. S. M. Lockridge. Sit back and just listen to how this man does his best to describe the awesomeness of our Great Big God!

Held

There is a song I have come to really appreciate. Loss, pain, suffering are all part of the Christian's life. Yes, but the hand of God and His tenderness is ever present. To be Held! God is ever present; He is there! May we never forget that this is but a shadow, a fleeting moment, and heaven, eternity holds the joy of all that God has waiting.

A Clip of Worship

Came across this from FaithVisuals, and thought I would share it. Seems to have some necessary ingredients for our day and how we approach this aspect of the "worship service." Click on the link here.
