The life-changing power of disciplemaking friendships (Barney got it right!)

Image
Recent research affirms that  loneliness is bad for your health . Barney's right. Everything's better with a friend. (If the video doesn't appear, go here .) This is the disciplemaking genius of Barney. I think we all could learn a lot from this little ditty. Yes, I'm serious.

Mayans, Christmas gifts, and the end of the world

Image
I'm holding off on buying Christmas presents until I see if the Mayans are right about the end of the world today. Wisdom and frugality baby. It's about 5 pm on 12/21/12... and I think this pic sums up the way the whole world is feeling: We should have all know that this was going to be a dud of an apocalypse. All we had to do is listen to the Oreo: Somehow this song seemed appropriate today. (If video doesn't appear, go here .)

The goal isn't church growth

Image
The goal isn't church growth. The goal is multiplying disciplemakers... like Jesus did. The irony is this: If we take the time to multiply disciplemakers like Jesus did (see Mathew, Mark, Luke and John), we won't have to worry about growing the church (see the book of Acts). But multiplying disciplemakers like Jesus is so time consuming. There must be a better, faster, more efficient way to grow the church, right? Stop and think about that for a moment. Now I dare you to be brutally honest and answer this question: When it comes to multiplying disciplemakers like Jesus, how's our better, faster, more efficient approach working ? If we take the time it takes, it takes less time. Instead of only counting attendance at church, try counting disciplemakers. I dare you. Would you like some help getting this conversation started with your church leaders, elders, and/or staff? Here you go . You, Me, and Coffee Monday...   Let me encourage you and and ma

Monday Funday: My first Christmas music video

After scoring wild music success via my first hit song , I've decided to branch out… into singing Christmas songs. (Hey, if Elvis can do it, so can I.) Then I thought, why just go with music? It's time for my first Christmas music VIDEO. Then I pondered, "Who could I get to be in the video?" So I got Santa himself to dance in the video… while I do the singing.  What can I say?  I've got connections. To sum up the experience you're about to have: QUALITY.  Enjoy the video and the song:  ) (If video doesn't appear, go here .)
