A Couple Articles Worth Reading

This one is from Keith Drury's blog. For those of you who aren't familiar with Dr Drury, he is on Faculty at Indiana Wesleyan University and is quite a prolific writer/thinker and very often speaks quite prophetically to the church. Take a look at his article "What's Wrong with the Church"

This one is from Holiness Today. It is the denominational magazine for the Church of the Nazarene. It is really a quality article worthy of thought and discussion called "Remember Your Baptism."

Perhaps I should have put these separately because there is so much to discuss!

Personal Mission Statement

So here is the first part of my New Years Resolution, and I would like your help to refine and clarify. Here is what I have so far:

Leading the people of God in being a community of holiness, shaped by and embodied in our commitment to the Wesleyan practices of (a) sacramental worship, (b) faithful evangelism, (c) mutual discipleship.

HAPPY NEW YEAR - 2009!

Another year has come and gone. This time next year we will be celebrating the end of a decade. Can you believe Y2K is already almost a decade away? Anyway, I just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year. I hope your year is a full of joy and life as ours was this past year.

Also, it is time again for me to make my annual resolutions that I'd like to keep but probably won't. To help me keep track, I will be updating my sidebar so you can watch how well I do or do not keep these handful of resolutions. With no further adeiu:

Spiritual: Morning & Evening prayer from the daily office every day.

Physical: Cut way back on the soda & Walk around town more.

Mental: The year of NT Wright.

Professional: Develop a personal mission statement.

Recreational: Spend time with the family outdoors & spend more time on the boat.


Well there they are. Stay tuned so you can help monitor my progress.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
