In the “you can’t make this stuff up” file I recently came across an interesting article. It seems as though a new temple is being built to worship the Norse pagan gods. You know, Thor, Odin and all the rest? Not too long ago Marvel comics started using some of these figures in their super-hero movies, but folks in […]

It seems the news is getting more and more interesting – in a bad way – as time goes on. Take a look at a few recent articles and see if you notice anything they have in common. Be careful as you read these – some of them might shock you! Christian decides if following God can be lived […]
Purpose Driven Halloween has a New Purpose
November 1, 2013
Remember back when all the Purpose Driven churches began to offer alternative celebrations to Halloween? The argument was that these events would give the church the ability to reach out to the community sharing the love and message of Christ in a way that kept kids safe, brought the family together, and took the focus […]
American Church – Without Vision & People are Perishing
September 14, 2013
One of the things I have noticed the last few years is that here in the Bible Belt of the U.S. more and more pastors are using creativity and imagination in their sermons.

WOW! A Must Listen for Every SBC Pastor…
May 18, 2012
I’m not quite sure how to describe this teaching other than to say it is one of the most eye-opening (and frightening) talks I’ve heard in quite some time. It is a history of the seeker-friendly and Purpose Driven movements. When I say “history”, that is exactly what I mean. Sources are quoted, reference material […]

Does your church go above-and-beyond in attempts to make the lost comfortable in your church while preaching relevant messages that appeal directly to the modern-day visitor? Please take a few minutes to read this great article by Phil Johnson over at […]
Are you Purpose Driven? Please read…
January 2, 2011
For you Purpose Driven folks and fans of Rick Warren, please read this post carefully. The following statements are quotes taken from an author who, after publishing the book from which these quotes were taken, was invited to speak and teach at Warren’s latest conference (Christian Apologetics Conference). Now I see that God prefers to […]
