“You have the cart in front of the horse” is an age old expression of communicating that we are doing things backwards. It also expresses that we are making things harder than it needs to be. Just think about it. If you put the horse behind the cart and instead of having the horse pull the cart with ease we force the horse to push the cart with its nose.  [ Read More ]

A friend sent me an article entitled, “Why We Don’t Need ‘Women’s’ Ministry.” Of course the title intrigued me since I direct the Answers for Women ministry at AiG! As I read the article, I realized the point the author was trying to make was not that we don’t need women’s ministry but that we don’t need the type of women’s ministry that is common in our churches and larger  [ Read More ]

God called us to play the game, not to keep the score.~ Vance Havener It seems some in the SBC should remember this.

From chapter 4 of Dr. JI Packer’s “Truth and Power: The Approach to Biblical Application” First, why does biblical trustworthiness, whether we call it infallibility or inerrancy, matter? Why should it be thought important to fight for the total truth of the Bible? Some, of course, do not think it important, either because this is a belief they do not share or because they do not regard others’ disbelief of  [ Read More ]

2 Timothy3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,  [ Read More ]

I first started in ministry I served on staff at one of America’s largest churches, Thomas Road Baptist Church. I was on a pastoral team that served the spiritual needs of the children in the congregation. One of my ministries was to teach a fourth grade Sunday School class that had 70 children in it on a regular basis. It was a challenge, but also a lot of fun. One  [ Read More ]

Barre, VT (PRWEB) July 13, 2011 Despite the rise of mega-churches in North America, the vast majority of churches remain small. It is often necessary for pastors of small churches to work another job in addition to serving their church, leaving them in danger of burnout if some of their duties are not delegated to others. Author Dr. Terry W. Dorsett identified that leadership teams working in partnership with pastors  [ Read More ]

Ken Camp managing editor over at the liberal Baptist Standard has written a hit piece against David Barton and Glenn Beck quoting Stephen Stookey who accuses Barton and Beck of intentionally quoting our founding fathers out of context and revising history to suit their “conservative” agenda. Camp accuses Barton and Beck and all those who affirm the fact of our Christian heritage as using “dazzling” tactics and weak sources to  [ Read More ]

“But I don’t want to be bivocational.” That was the declaration of a young man whom I recently talked to. He was nearing graduation from seminary and felt led to do ministry in a lesser reached area of the nation. Vermont, which is the least churched state in America, definitely fits the bill for being lesser reached. As the Vermont director for the efforts of my denomination, I have plenty  [ Read More ]

On 9/11/2001 the United States was attacked by Moslem extremists and nearly 3000 Americans lost their lives in NY City, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania. After almost 10 years the mastermind behind this horrific event in American history has been served an appropriate level of justice. As a result we have now begun a conversation in our country about an appropriate response to the death of Osama Bin laden. On the  [ Read More ]
