Here’s the Linky for the week

People who get it. People who are willing to go to the places no one else is going in order to reach the people no one else is reaching. Beautiful how God infects secular culture with sacred values. The Church should be the yardstick of excellence, producing our own creative and unique voice. This crap [...]

Friday Humor

Here’s your Friday humor. I know everyone else has already seen this, but I was just led to it yesterday. I would feel bad for this guy, but if you can’t do something, then don’t.

80′s rock or new creativity

or I’m sending you to Tony Morgan’s blog. He has posted there a new song off of Lincoln Brewsters new album. Listen to the song (you can actually download it, oops, but hey, that’s good marketing) and let me know what you think. Is it 80′s rock again, or is it a uniqueness and originality. [...]

hilarity in communication

I saw this post on Pete Wilson’s blog (lotta good stuff there) and new it was too good to pass up. So, once you watch the video, check out all his other posts here and read all the comments to this video here. Anybody else feel like most their communication goes like this?

And maybe, just maybe, nominal Christianity will take [...]

In the image

I was reminded this morning that we are created in the image of God and my heart was deeply moved. I was reading a story in the local paper of some parents who are 80 plus and still nurturing their daughter who is 56 and has cerebral palsy. My godson has down syndrome, and while [...]

268 Generation

Isaiah 26.8 is where the 268 generation lays its foundation. “Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for You; Your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.” Your name and Your renown. I have heard this claim for years as I have followed the Passion movement and claimed to [...]

Weekly Links

Here are the weekly list of links that shaped me in one way or another over the past 6 days. (This one is long, just so you know, but good.) Paul (the apostle) on Money, Ministry, and Work. The Willow Creek Leadership Summit was this week, and here are three challenging questions from Craig. Here [...]

A little Saturday humor

When I saw this, I cracked up, and I had to pass it along.
