“Nonprofits work to get people to embrace change.

But the irony is they are usually the most resistant to accepting organizational change”

Chris Forbes is a marketing guy and speaker in Oklahoma. I think when Chris speaks of non-profits we can apply that to churches as well. Think about how we get people to worship or Bible study, if we are trying at all. We speak to, let’s say, Bob and tell him that God loves him. We talk about how man is sinful… Read More

I have been messing around with Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal on my personal site in order to better administer the church's website. I have messed with the background and tried my hand at photo editing. I have improved a little, but any tips would be greatly appreciated. In today's techno-savy, MTV, microwave culture, of which I am a card carrying member, many times I look for… Read More

I recently received an iPhone as a gift from my wife. Understanding that "there is an app for that",I searched out a Wordpress app for posting to my blog. Confirming the above app declaration, there is an app for posting to Wordpress blog from my iPhone. :). Now I will be able to post as life runs before my eyes. Have a great day and God bless. Read More

Had an interesting conversation this morning.  We spoke about the sliver in your brothers eye and the plank in your own.  We spoke about the mature and the immature Christian.  Then somehow we got onto the topic of pastoral/Christian church attire. That makes me think.... hum?  What does a pastor look like, or for that matter, what does a Christian look like?  Does he/she even have a look?  Traditionally in the United States,… Read More

I get so sick of Christmas even before it arrives. I see stores slapping a cross or Jesus on something and selling it to believers. You can find pens, pen holders, coffee cups, letter openers, and clocks "sanctified" by a cross or Jesus because the believers will buy anything with Jesus on it. Christian commercialism drives me nuts and I let it… Read More

What an awesome movie. I love God and football. The story of Michael Oherr is incredible. From lost, without a place to live, to safe in the home of a loving family. What a great picture of what God has done for us. We are all born lost and warring against God. Without the ability to desire God at all and deserving punishment, God sent His Son into His own creation to pay the price for our rebellion. When you… Read More

I love meeting with my buds for Friday morning breakfast and Bible study at Denny's Tooele. We have some great discussions. Sometimes we begin with our week and sometimes we get right into what is new with Apple, Inc. For we are rabid Mac maniacs. Well, David is not rabid, but I am fairly sure that I am. Today was no disappointment. In addition to my bud David, he brought his daughter, which was great. Also, Don and his son Mike were able to make it. It was a great… Read More

My wife and I had dinner with some great friends one evening and they told us about a great little documentary called "Nanook of the North" filmed in 1920-1. We ordered and received the DVD from Netflix and watched in wonder.  "Nanook of the North" is about Nanook and his family in  the Canadian Artic struggling to survive following the food wherever it may surface from beneath the ice. We saw him kill fish… Read More

Last Sunday I had the privilege of baptizing Nika, one of our youth at Stansbury Park Baptist Church.  It was especially fun because we baptized in the lake for the first time ever. It is wonderful seeing a young woman in our church put her faith in Christ.  We talked before the dunking about baptism.  We talked about her being under the water was a symbol for Christ having died and having been buried for our sins.  Because I did not leave her under, but brought her up… Read More
