I've been kind of scarce around here for the last six weeks or so. Been busy, busy, busy. Wanted to show off what a few woodturner clubs here in the Kansas City area have conspired to do together for ...

I received this from a Christian brother who lives with his wife and family in Jerusalem. He's been reporting and commenting on events and happenings in and around Israel. Very, very interesting histo...

This is a really good list. Judson wrote 52 books. Most of them are really fine works that challenge us, especially as worshippers and extravagant worshippers. One of them, Worship as David Lived I...

I had a friend ask a pretty darned good question the other day and as I gave my explanation, I had this wonderful scenario play out in my head. Thought that I'd share and hope that you can share the e...

Blended services often dilute both the traditional and contemporary styles. One strong point for some convergence worship leaders could be seen as seeking to bring select, appropriate contemporary mus...

So, what does all of that mean for WORSHIP? Worship is one of those words that means lots of things to lots of people. It's hard to discuss the ramifications of any philosophy or belief system with...

Possibly "the" basic tenet of the Charismatic Episcopal Church is the vision of reuniting the three primary branches or focuses or styles of the three major subsets of Christian parish or congregation...

Helena asked for a couple of detail shots. My camera is not very good at focus & close-ups. Of course, it might be more of operator error, but hey. Here are 8 of the nearly 400 pens that will b...

Greetings, dear brother and sister! :yay: What a nice post on the Café! Thanks so much. It's good to see your names, as it was to find Ben and Francesca and Nola as well. About video clips....

One of the very special aspects of this particular "minor" feast is that it is probably the most public of all the celebrations in the Jewish year! Passover is to be celebrated in a family setting, pr...

I, being of sound mind and full belly, do hereby bear witness that these are indeed some of the very best muffins ever made! Not too sweet, great warm, great hot, great room temp. Oh, did I mention...

I usually just laugh and ask them when they're going to give up electricity, indoor plumbing, and automobiles! I then ask them about what the Greek words mean that talk about worship and praise. I ...

I had a very interesting conversation with a friend recently. He is a younger man and a fairly new worship leader; he had heard tales of what used to be called Jericho Marches, especially within the P...

<COLOR color="navy">Part of the chat we did last Friday, September 8, was exploring a bit more about the whole concept of mitzvah. We talked a bit about mikvah, too, a term that is basically unr...

TESTIMONY TIME!!! This is the most of the email that I got from my friend Tom about the results of the march discussed above. Thought you'd like to read it. It was a faith builder for all of them, ...

Our time in Miami was a swim in the Latino culture in that area. We ministered in two large congregations, virtually all from the hispanic community. I honestly don't recall seeing much movement in th...

Helena was kind enough to put this up for me. It's been a very full week and a fuller weekend. When Helena read this review (prior to hearing the album), her first comment was, "A bit effusive, huh...

Sometimes I hear a phrase or a portion of Scripture and it provokes a whole new train of thought, taking me where I’ve never been before. Today was one of those days and one of those moments. Bisho...

Our newest member wrote (and I'm forwarding to all): I would love to have a copy of a dvd that I had once, but loaned it to a friend and do not have it anymore. It is a dance dvd of Jean Mabr...

Part of the rest of this story is that the 80,000 who marched in the parade (!!!!!) were not the only participants. Of the 80,000 marchers, only 5,000 were from the ICEJ celebration of the Feast of...

Hey, y'all, it's that favorite time of year. Feast of Booths or Tabernacles. Today was the first full day. How are you celebrating this season? DO you celebrate this feast of God, to be celebrated ...

If the Red Cross in your country operates as it does in this country, it is primarily a good thing. Blessing something that is positive will bring life to those affected by the organization, yes? If y...

Discovering that someone in the household of faith--a fellow believer in Christ--has failed morally is always hard. It does not matter if the failure is sexual, ethical, or practical, one person's fai...

Did a little bit of research on Google and found some info, but I don't know if it's recent info. The email there is <EMAIL email="ajmabry@juno.com">ajmabry@juno.com</EMAIL>. Also had o...
