I'm on several discussion boards, a couple of them for the worship arts. A couple of other folks on this forum regularly take part in the other one, so this will be a repeat for them. The question ...

You know me too well, friend. A primary source of angst for me is something that US politicians in this particular season are again discovering: words MEAN something! This is a season that the Chur...

I'm writing a book. I've got the page numbers done.

You've got questions, we've got opinions!!! Most places we've been have had overheads. If you have a good flipper and a good system, you're good to go. If you're using an 8-year-old who cares enoug...

Also, FWIW, I really do like projection instead of hymnals. It gets the eyes of the folks up out of the pew and give them a chance to observe what's going on in the room, maybe to see what God's doing...

We're glad to have you here! Hope you'll participate and help us get to know you.

Welcome, Gabriel! We're glad to have you here. Glad to hear your excitement for the things of the Lord and for opportunities to minister. There are lots of folks who read here, some who write. Lots...

“What’s the Church For, Anyhow?” Dean Thomas – October 16, 2009 A woman at work asked me the question recently, one of those that deserved an answer. I asked for time to consider my response becau...

Who is the church FOR? Easy question. The church is for believers in Messiah, period. That was the major issue that lots of folks had with the whole seeker thing. When church is turned into a multi...

Hi ho the derry-oh, a-rambling I will go! I’ve been reading a book that will remain unnamed, at least until I finish it. It’s about a contextual Jesus through the eyes of what seems to be a liberal...

Okay, Dave, ya made me hafta do this... I'm honestly not sure if the church banned major keys. I'm still researching that and will be back to tell you what I find. What I can tell you is that (i...

Welcome, Moe!! :crooner: Glad to see you here, too. The emphasis on this board is a bit different than on the Worship Discussion List (WDL), but still focused on the "stuff" of worship. We have ...

Yes, it was a very sweet time in most every aspect. Rare for conferences, even within only a single denomination. Someone recently asked me, "How do you determine if your ministry time was a 'succe...

Everybody's got a theory, a theorum, a formula, a pondering about how our personal and corporate lives ought to be focused. Part of that is viewing life on earth through the filter of earthly giftings...

Part two. This is not a mind game. It has to become reality in my life in order for me to move from human doing to human being. Think about powerful people that you've met. Some people are powe...

It's been a wild weekend. I've spent a lot of time resting, reading, praying, IM-ing with Tom (a far-off friend and young worship leader), and writing. I went back to work today with a number of these...

The sun has set, the day is done; the omers have been counted, and the anticipation was well rewarded. Pentecost 2009 has been thoroughly celebrated in our congregation here in the greater Kansas City...

And I'll add my own two cents worth as well. We're always glad when we have an influx of new forum members. We enjoy answering questions and being part of discussions to help all of us grow in our ...

Part 2 As a believer, what should my personal goals be for my relationship with Father God? Who do I look to as examples? What traits do I need to cultivate to become ever more mature? How do I wor...

Glad you're here. We've been blessed by some amazing teachers and friends along our journey and feel that it's absolutely mandatory that we pass on what has been invested in us. This is one great and ...
