It amazes me from time to time just how fast things can happen. Tonight we were enjoying a beautiful evening at a relatives house, celebrating Tylers 11th birthday with a pool party, good food and plenty of hyper boys. They spent time swimming and then eating and then back to swimming. In the course of the evening while I was talking to another relative about ministry, my youngest son came up to

Thesis Statement: A clear and continuously cast vision, along with good consistent communication to ministry leaders within the church, are essential to keeping ministries aligned to the purpose and mission of the church, and functioning as one body moving forward to change the world. “Communication is defined as “the exchange and flow of information and ideas from one person to another.

Well, now that it is official, I can share it with you all. Over this past summer, I have been transitioning out of my position as the worship leader at Union Chapel Church here in Fort Wayne so that I can situate myself in a place where I could learn more, get stretched and mentored in leading worship and my musicianship. Lisa and I decided that once we left Union Chapel, we would most likely

Today, I experienced a milestone. I have had goals and such, but today felt like a milestone. I graduated today with a little over 1000 other IWU graduates, 4 of which were some great guys I have had the opportunity and pleasure of getting to know over the past two and a half years.It felt good to walk across the stage and get my diploma, although I am going back, it feels nice to have finished

I find it interesting that the word "Transition" as defined by Webster says:1 a : passage from one state, stage, subject, or place to another : change b : a movement, development, or evolution from one form, stage, or style to anotherThe very next definition for the same word says:2 a : a musical modulation b : a musical passage leading from one section of a piece to anotherOver the past few

Waiting on God can be hard at times, but I think I am learning that as I wait on God to reveal His direction for our life, I don't have to do it and be bored or impatient. I have been waiting on God for quite a while now to answer some prayers we have and to reveal to us the direction He wants us to go. I have been learning that as we wait, we can do so actively by pursuing wisdom and

One year ago this week, my life was turned up on edge and shaken around a few times. It has changed the course of my life and I am the better for it. For the better part of 13 years, I have been leading worship as a volunteer through music and arts in local churches. Over these years I have had the growing feeling that God was calling me to full-time ministry. I eventually went back to school to

On any given Sunday morning, you will find people gathering in their local church for worship. As we come together and begin to focus on God, we engage in what is called the Gathering. It is the first of four foundational walls of biblical worship. In the Gathering, a conversation starts between God and his people, and its specific purpose is to help us focus our hearts and minds on Him so that

I had the pleasure of visiting a local church for Sunday service this morning, and as we were getting ready to pray, we were directed to prepare our hearts for prayer. In the process, the leader said this and I quote, "as you get ready to pray, prepare yourself however you do to go to your God." Now how I took this was to say that however I view God in my own mind, I was to prepare myself to go

This is a response paper I had to write to an column that showed up in our local paper back in 2000.Jonah Goldberg in his column “War on boys is war on manhood” brings some very interesting information to light concerning the current philosophy of raising children, specifically boys, in such a way as to curb their “barbaric” behaviors and level the playing field for children in general.

Does loving your enemy mean not punishing him? Loving our enemies has to be one of the hardest things we can do as Christians. I do not understand, outside of being God, how Christ hurl curses at the guards that beat him to within an inch of his life. I do not understand how he could stand in front of the crowd that was calling out, “crucify him!” and not argue back in his own defense. Quietly,

The website article where I retrieved this information was from USA Today.com The basic premise of this article was to explore the topic of sin and whether or not it still hold any specific meaning in today’s culture. The article was given in a fair manner by not only supplying survey information against the validity of the existence of “sin”, but also providing interview and speech quotes for

In book one, Lewis makes the statement that his, “…argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how ad I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called in unjust?” (Lewis, 1943, p.38) This argument alone is a great concept for one to investigate.

It is designed to help us understand what we are singing about and how the songs tie in with scripture.

The tendency in early Christian experience is to look for the marvelous. We are apt to mistake the sense of the heroic for being heroes. It is one thing to go through a crisis grandly, but a different thing to go through everyday glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, and no one paying the remotest attention to you. If we don't want medieval haloes, we want something that will

Those who sought to destroy Paul’s ministry were self righteous and jealous. For no other reason can I discover why they would want to discredit Paul and the Gospel, which he taught. Through their own boasting and jabs at Paul, they began to pull some of the Corinthians away from the message they first accepted and taught. They also tried to discredit the love and concern Paul and his ministry

Ever wonder what God might have up His sleeve for you? Sometimes things happen that cause me to think about what God could do with my life if I totally surrendered to Him. Don't get me wrong, I believe that if God asked me to do something, I would without to much reservation, but I still wonder, what types of things He could accomplish through a humble servant.

The extent of mankind’s sin problem is far greater than I think we will ever know. It has affected every aspect of the world we live in from little children to the elderly. Sin is not a general term either; it is specific and expressed as such in God’s word. Paul, in his letter to the Romans, spends a large amount of time explaining to the Romans what sin has done and how it separates humanity

This has been an interesting discussion on the book of Romans, and one that we could all stand to learn much from. Paul is the consummate minister, in that he has given his life to what he believed to be of the Lord. His conversion on the Damascus road impacted him in such a way, that he gives the rest of his life spreading the word of Christ. Teaching other believers the truth and how they

Flesh as discussed in Romans, is something we die to as we are transformed through the renewing of our mind. As we are Justified by Grace, or saved through the forgiveness of Jesus Christ and his death and resurrection. When we are saved or rescued from our present state of death by sin, we become a new creature. Our outside stays the same, but our mind, our heart, our soul go through a complete

Paul’s writings to the various churches in the New Testament bring to light just how passionate and sold out for the message of Jesus Christ Paul was. His transformation on the Damascus Road was a once in a life-time experience, maybe even a once in history experience. It was interesting to see how quickly Paul went from being one of the most fanatical “Christian hunters”, to one of the most

As I read through the history of the Egyptian civilization and surrounding and subsequent societies, there seem to be a number of reasons that the Egyptian civilization lasted for so long. Some of which were their isolation from other cultures, their belief in the power and appointment of the Pharaoh; their wealth and their oneness. Greer and Lewis paint a clear picture of how Egypt operated and

The Sermon on the Mount is one of the most interesting messages Jesus gives, and certainly seems to be one of the longest. Looking at it with an overview in mind, I found that Jesus took the law and built upon it on several occasions. The law said not to lust, but Christ built on that and said not to even look at a woman with lustful intentions. The law said to not to murder, but Jesus again

The Lord’s Supper is rich both in symbolism and meaning. It is meant to remind Christ followers of the new covenant for the world, and the sacrificial death and suffering of our Lord Jesus Christ. Blessings abound for those who gain a biblical understanding of the Lord’s Supper. As we read in Matthew 26: 17-30, Christ instituted the Lord’s Supper, during the Feast of Unleavened Bread on the

Some may misunderstand Jesus’ words in John 12:8 to say that no matter what we do, we will never solve the problem of the poor, because they will always be around. However, when paralleled with the teachings of Jesus and the events to come in His life, we can see that Jesus was simply saying that their work is just beginning.

Hey all, I haven't had much time to write due to my school work. But I thought it would be neat to post some of my papers from school here for people to read. If you have that kind of time, great. If not, maybe I will some day.Peace

Matthew 6:19-34 StudyJesus teaches that seeking after the things of the earth is futile, because they will all one day be destroyed. Rather we are to store up in heaven, treasures of another kind, ones that will not be destroyed. Likewise he teaches that we are not to worry about things that we cannot change. We are to trust in God to provide for us and not worry about tomorrow. Observation:1.

There is much happening in the Middle East regions these days. I recently had to write a paper on Palestine, and the research enlightened me greatly. I thought I would post it here in hopes that it might shed a little light for you as well.THE HISTORY OF PALESTINEThe Middle East has long been the theater of war, conflict, and power struggles. One particular parcel of land known as Palestine (

Lisa and I have been in Florida since Friday last week for a Hit The Bullseye conference. The weather has been great and we have enjoyed ourselves, but we are ready to go home. We were scheduled to leave last night at 6.pm but the weather in Cincinnati was ice and snow, so our flight was cancelled. We weren't totally heart broke. I mean spending one more day in 80 degree weather is hard to take

OK for those of you with about 30 minutes to kill, LOL I now have the rest of the answer to the question I posted recently. Does Salvation require Transformation? How many of you remember the old Wendy’s commercial that ran back in the late 80’s? It had three beautiful women salivating over a hamburger that looked really good. It had a big bun, lettuce flowing over the edge,, I mean this thing

We are creatures of our own design, good or bad we have stuck our hands into our evolvement into this thing we call "our life". Some have, and many others will, come to a point in their life when they recognize that it simply isn't enough. They start asking questions like; "Is this all there is to life?", "Is there a God?", "What is my purpose in life?". Upon asking those questions, some will

It's been a while since I posted last, School has been keeping me very busy, not to mention work, church, the boys and being a husband. Life is busy, but good. I am currently preparing a message that I have to give at church on December 7th for school. My plan is to record the audio, then post it here for anyone interested to listen to. I must say that I am preparing for this message differently

I have been studying Romans 12 for the past week or so, because I was asked to teach Sunday school this week. As I have studied and listened to other messages about Romans, and one thing has become evident, Sin must be overcome, and we must be transformed into the likeness of Christ! Chapter 12, verses 1-2 speak about how we are to be transformed from our old selves and become a new creation in

For those of you who regularly check this blog, I wanted to let you know that I will not be posting here for a short period of time. I will instead be posting on my other site "Sinners Anonymous". Why? Because I believe that addressing the issue of sin, not only in my life, but the church in general is more important right now. On Molded To Worship, my intent is to discuss and dive into topics

I havn't been able to get this off my mind, so today I added yet another blog to my site. I created a site where people can go and anonymously confess what they are struggling with. Granted taking complete ownership of your sin is where healing begins, but I thought I would give people a place to start. Just writing it down and posting it makes me start to own up to the fact that I do things that

My last post was kind of a set up. It's true in its entirety, but I didn't tell you why I went to the AA meeting. Yesterday at church someone asked me why in the world I went. I didn't get a chance to give them an answer, but I know they read this, so here it is. My experience and desire to go to the AA meeting was two fold, maybe even three fold. First, I work with someone who has struggled with

Today, I experienced something new. Something that I hope to experience more often. I entered a place where the truth was told, where most people were honest with themselves and others. I mean heart poured out, gut wrenching, no holds bared, like it or not honesty. It was a place where every person there was pushing for the same goal; where there was one thing to accomplish, and most all were

The knock at the door, or the ringing of the doorbell usually brings excitement as we think, "Someone came to see me, who could it be?" Only to find a salesman or a Jehovah's Witness. Well this happened to us this week. I was up getting the kids to bed, and I heard a knock at the door. Lisa was fortunate enough to answer it and was greeted by two young men from the church of Jesus Christ of

Every morning I get up before the rest of the family and get ready for work. With Lisa's new work schedule, I leave before she gets out of bed. She is usually always either sleeping or going back to sleep as I leave, and I always give her a good bye kiss before going. The other morning, I was in a hurry, and as I bent down to kiss her head, my approach was a little quick, and I hurriedly kissed

You will disagree with this statement, but I want you to think about it before you judge it. It is a quote I heard on the radio spoken by an author that was being interviewed by Char Binkley from WBCL. Here is the quote.“The hour on Sunday can be the most dishonest hour of our week.”What do you think of when you hear that? How does it make you feel?What thoughts come into your mind to discredit

This week in class, we were asked to look through the letters of Paul, and pick various scriptures that we liked and categorize them. I thought I would post them here as well.Sin - Romans 5:8; I like this verse because it tells us that we don't need to be perfect before we can be loved by God. I have heard people say that they are too bad for God to do anything with them or love them. This verse

Well tomorrow ends our annual family vacation, and what a blast it has been. We had a fantastic week up at Camp Michindoh, and a great time here in Toledo. Yesterday we checked into a Day's Inn, (this hotel didn't warrant a hyperlink) and checked out just as soon as we walked into our room. It had water damage (you could see it on the walls) the carpet obviously had been damaged and there was

Well, I must say thank you for those of you who prayed. Ethan was feeling much better today and back to his very, very cute self. He was playing and laughing a lot today so we all feel better that he feels better, Thank you. OH but what kind of story would this be without a twist in it. Well let me tell ya. As I said, he was feeling much better today, lots of sleep last night and a good nap

Ahhhh!! That fantastic time of year when you can say goodbye to responsibility and hello relaxation. Oh wait, I have kids, relaxation isn't really a word yet. It is this oasis in the sand that seems to elude me every time I get close to it. Yes, that Holy Grail has once again dodged my firm grip and escaped me once again.

Well, fair week is over. Man was that fun or what? Wednesday night and Friday night were the nights we had signed up to run the booth. We had a blast talking to people those two nights. We witnessed to several people through out the week, and I had two, really good, hour plus long conversations with people about church, Christ, salvation, and religion in general.

Well, tonight we spent about 4 1/2 hours at the fair, being available for God to use how He saw fit. My wife and I prayed before we went in, asking God to give us strength and opportunities to share about him. We had a good night, talking to people, planting seeds, listening to people and making friends. Our booth is modest and not flashy, but it seemed to come to life after dark. During the day

This week, Union Chapel Church will have a booth at the Allen County 4-H fair grounds. We will be handing out information to those who walk by, and some of us will be sharing our faith and spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. We are excited about this opportunity to be light in a dark world, and are looking forward to meeting and talking with people from all over Allen county and the state.

Yesterday, I went out and trimmed up the grape vine in the backyard. I think I have blogged about this before, but it pruning the vine always reminds me of John 15:1-3.As I pruned the vines that had no fruit, I watched myself as I had no mercy for the vine that bore nothing. I lopped it off without a second thought, set it aside to dry so it could be burned in the fire later. My concern was for

Have you ever had one of those days that you were reminded just how blessed you are?Today was one of those days. The day started off with the opportunity to go to another church and worship. It was nice to go and not be responsible for anything but my family and my connection with God. The service was good and I enjoyed my time there.

Happy Independence Day to all. I had the chance today, to listen to a talk show while I made some deliveries for work. They were talking about the history of the Declaration of Independence and what it meant. I have to admit that I didn't remember exactly all that it said, so tonight I sat down and read it line for line. I found it to be very inspiring that a group of people that had been

Well, it has been a long five weeks. I have been taking my Old Testament Survey class, and it has been interesting. I have thoroughly enjoyed this class, because it has given me a better understanding of the O.T. and God's plan for humanity. I have never really spent much time in the O.T. just due to the cultural differences. It has always been hard to understand the practices of the culture and

Today I watched as we finally landed on the planet Mars. Today at approx. 7:55pm, the spacecraft Phoenix landed on the polar ice cap of Mars. It was a neat experience to watch this unfold live on NASA TV via the Internet.

A few weekends ago, my wife and I took our three boys out to the local airfield to watch some planes take off and possibly get one of them a ride in a small plane. The Young Eagles were there and offering rides for kids 8-17.

In an article written for the Los Angeles Times titled “How many really don’t believe in God?” John Allen Paulo, who is a mathematics professor for Temple University in Philadelphia, contends that there are more atheists and agnostics in the United States than most would believe there to be. He takes a percentage approach when it comes to reporting the numbers, which I believe makes the truth

Have you ever felt like you were standing in the shadow of Goliath, and wondered how you were going to make it out alive? I did, on August 27th of 2006. I had just started a new position at a church across town as the Worship and Arts Director. I was in about my fourth or fifth week and was just starting to get used to the job, when I received a letter from the Bishop of our denomination asking

Well, I have arrived at my fourth week of class and thus the end of my first course. I have read more this month than I ever have, but that's good.I have typed more in my online course than I have in a long time, but that's good.I have learned more in the past month about learning than I ever have, but that's good.

Today I had the pleasure of going and getting my taxes done. I watched as my accountant sorted through all the appropriate paper work and filled out all the right forms. It took about and hour to sort through it all and I sure am glad I didn't have to do it myself. The bible tells us to "render unto Caesars what is Caesars and unto God what is God's", (Matthew 22:21) I have only one thing to say;

As we think about Worship, most people think about music. However, Worship is a verb, an action word, not something to be obtained but rather something to be given. How we live our lives can be an act of Worship. This can be done by placing God first in everything we do, and allowing Him to direct our decisions and actions. We honor God when we choose to follow His direction for our lives and

Today we had a meeting for the United Brethren In Christ National Conference for 2009. I am excited as I think about what we talked about and how we will once again watch God move within this denomination. I cannot discuss details but I can tell you that it will be good!! For those of you that know how well last year went, I want to encourage you to start praying about this conference. I know it

Life has just gotten busier. Thus starts week two of my college journey. The first week was prety interesting, with lots of reading, and I don't mean text books. With online learning, I have to post my discussion's in an online forum. I then have to watch for my classmates posts and respond to them. there were 5 forums in all this week and we have roughly 12-14 students. That makes for alot of

Well I started school this week. I am now an official student of Indiana Wesleyan University 16 years after graduating high school. Days filled with reading text books, writting papers, dreaming about homework, getting no sleep, AHH the good ol' days. Oh wait those are these days. Seriously, I am excited as I begin this new journey of my life. It will be challenging and stressful, but at the same

A few years ago a group of salesmen went to a regional salesconvention in Chicago . They had assured their wives that they would behome in plenty of time for Friday night's dinner. In their rush, withtickets and briefcases, one of these salesmen inadvertently kicked over atable which held a display of apples. Apples flew everywhere. Withoutstopping or looking back, they all managed to reach the

Well after lambasting the church in my last blog, I should tell you that good things are beginning to happen. AT UCC we are starting an 8 week study using material from "Way of the Master". It is a tool for evangelism which is something that our church could use some of. Our pastor has been convicted that 2008 will be a year of decision for our church. If we are not an evangelising church then

I have been very fortunate to have been raised in a Christian family. My grandparents were Christians and my folks as as well. While I was young, my dad served as a pastor for several years at a small country church in Ohio. I have been around churches for pretty much all my life, and so the cycle continues. I am going to school to get my degree in Christian Ministries and get my pastoral license

In March, we will be doing a production at church called "By His Wounds", and it basically rein acts the final hours of the life of Christ. As I have been working on getting things in order for this, I have started to find myself getting excited about telling this story. I get excited about the people involved in the production and what they will take away from it, and I get excited for those

In Luke chapter 8, we read about the parable of the farmer sowing seed. It tells us that as the seed was sown, some fell on the path, some fell on the rocks, some fell among the thorns, and some fell in good soil. As I studied this, I came to realize that the soil is you and I, and how we respond to the seed, which is the word of God. As I read on I had to ask myself the following question: As

I have this attraction to electronics, especially palm pilots and computers. I just get amazed at what they can do, especially some of the new stuff. Since I have this interest in them, I tend to mess with them alot, therefore I have learned how to do quite a bit on them.

Yesterday I started something new. I decided to read through the New Testament but only reading what Jesus had to say. I have a red letter edition bible and so it makes it easy to read only what Jesus said.So far I have found it interesting, it's definitely different, and probably not the best way to read through it, but I am enjoying it so far. He said what he said and meant it, I like that.I am

Tonight my family went to watch my oldest son perform in what I thought was their annual Christmas program for his elementary school. I arrived with an anticipation of watching him sing, dance, and play an instrument, and I wasn't disappointed in his fantastic performance. He really worked hard on his songs and sang them around the house a lot, in a differant language mind you. The entire evening

Today at church, we had several things planned. With an impending ice storm heading our way I wondered how things might go. There were fewer than normal there, but still more than I expected. Just about the time Pastor Gary started in with announcements the power went out, and stayed out. Needless to say the power point, band, and lighting cease to exist. Not to mention that after the service we

Last night Mitt Romney gave a speech in front of a crowd of several hundred and a television audience of millions. I was not able to hear the speech in it's entirety, however I did hear excerpts of it this morning during my workout.As I was exercising, I heard him say that he believed Jesus Christ to be the Son of God and the Savior of man kind. That got my attention, and so I started listening.

Last night my wife and I had the opportunity for the second time to join a group from church and man one of the concessions stands at the coliseum. We had helped the previous Friday at the first Mad Ants basketball game. Last night was the Casting Crowns "The alter and the door" concert. I had speculated that we wouldn't be very busy for the concert just due to the fact that most

"All Scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."2 Timothy 3:16-17So how does this scripture apply to worship?

For 6 years now maybe a bit longer we have been at war. Our men and women have been serving their country in the face of a brutal and vicious enemy. I am reminded daily of their sacrifice, courage, and struggle. I am reminded that we need to pray for our heroes daily, for their safety, for their strength, for their courage, for their survival. They are fighting for us, you and I. Day in and day

The other day I stopped by the local grocery store with my three boys to pick up a few items.As we stood in the checkout line the boys started getting rowdy as usual and I was just about to settle them down when an older gentleman came up behind us in line.

Today I ventured out and went to church. Sitting around the house and being partially disabled is not something I do well. I had a good day though, the knee held up pretty good and it was just nice to get out and talk to people. We went to church early so I could help run slides, and while we were practicing, Pastor Gary came up and handed me two hundred dollars cash and said someone gave it to

John Chapter 21 I find this final chapter of John to be an interesting chapter. It is the final chapter in the Gospel of John and one that finds the disciples going back and doing what they did before they met Christ. It starts out with the Disciples sitting around and gathered together at the sea of Tiberias. One thought I have here is why are they sitting around doing nothing? Simon Peter

Psalm 95:6Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;This verse tells us to bow down before the Lord. As we worship the Lord, let us consider worshipping with our whole body in response to all that He is and has done.Worship is something that we do. It is an acceptable attitude expressed such as Abraham did as he bowed down. Worship is purely and solely for the Lord

I'm not one that likes to be fussed over. I prefer to be the one fussing and taking care of others, that's how I'm made up. I haven't even had my surgery yet and I have had many phone calls asking "How are you?" and "What can I do for you?" I know people care for me and it is nice to know that so many do, it's just hard to know that I will be a burden to those I love even for a day. I suppose
