Measuring a Church’s Spiritual Health One the hardest things for a church to acknowledge is that they may not be spiritual healthy. It may be even harder to identify what truly makes a church spiritual healthy or unhealthy. This is due to the fact that many traditions have emphasized different aspects and expressions of spiritualContinue reading “Church Health: Spiritual Health”

Church Health: Relational Health
Measuring a Church’s Relational Health “We are a friendly church.” This is a statement that has been used by most churches. The reality is that while some churches have appeared friendly during “meet and greet” times, they have no effort made towards integration and fellowship. A church with a warm greeting may still have a coldContinue reading “Church Health: Relational Health”
Church Health: Missional Health
Measuring a Church’s Missional Health The first point of business is to define what exactly is missional health. To do this we will break down the ideas between the two words, missional, and health. One of the first ideas that comes our mind when using the word missional is its likeness to missionary. A missionalContinue reading “Church Health: Missional Health”
Why Pray?
There are several reasons why we pray. We are commanded to pray in scriptures (Phil. 4:6-7, 1 Thess. 5:17), prayer is communication with God (Heb. 4:15-16), Jesus prayed (Mark 1:35), and Jesus even seemed to expect it as a work of piety (Matt. 6:5-15). But the question, “Why pray,” is one that is asking whatContinue reading “Why Pray?”
Washing the Saint’s Feet
Some do and some don’t. That is the observance of washing one another’s feet. I’m not going to make a distinction of whether you should or shouldn’t but just that this is a very positive experience that we are told of by Jesus. He says in John 13:17, “If ye know these things, happy areContinue reading “Washing the Saint’s Feet”
A Ministry of Giving
We have heard the phrase, “It is better to give than to receive.” It is probably better to note that this finds scriptural validation in Acts 20:35 when the apostle Paul spoke“I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of theContinue reading “A Ministry of Giving”

How to handle a full plate.
How to Handle a Full Plate A lot of people have asked me how I can get stuff done with as much as I have on my plate. Most of the time I am not given a chance to answer them before they are off on another subject or down the road. IContinue reading “How to handle a full plate.”
One Testimony
Several times I have encouraged my congregation to share their “Jesus Story.” It is simply how they were before they met Christ, how they came to faith, and their life now. In order to testify of Christ we do not have to have all the theological terms and nuances firmly set inContinue reading “One Testimony”
Church Seasons
If you take the simple request, “What time is it,” and switch the order of the words you can get a deeper question, “Time, what is it?” It is one of the most precious possession that we have but squander it as if it is an infinite supply. For some, time is simply a quantifiableContinue reading “Church Seasons”
