What’s Wrong with the World?

Shouldn’t Church Be Fun?
Growing up, I loved going to McDonald’s. I loved the play area, the Happy Meals and the Happy Meal toy. In other words, I wanted the “Mickey D’s” experience because I knew it would be fun, I would get fed and I would leave with something. Shouldn’t the church be the same way? Jelani Lewis […]
Kids and the Gospel (video)
I’m a children’s pastor, so I’m supposed to emphasize the value and importance of children in God’s kingdom. But I’m in good company. Jesus did as well (actually, I did as well, Jesus was first!). via Ministry-To-Children source YouTube
Digging Up the Philistines
The annual digging season has begun in the city of Gath (a former Philistine city). They are unearthing some interesting things that tell us today what the Philistines were like. An article @ msnbc.com tells some of the discoveries and connections that have been made in reference to this ancient people group and their affiliation […]
Need Help Starting a Conversation With Kids?
For some of us, it has been a long time since we were a kid. And in the words of an epistle writer, most adults have put their childish ways behind them. So how do you converse with children (especially today’s children!)? What do you say? What questions do you ask? This is a great […]
Are We Doing the Right Things? (video)
Wow… convicting. I was talking with a friend the other day about the evolution of my thinking as a pastor. More and more I’m asking myself the question: “Is what I spend the majority of my time doing, what I should really be doing?” I spend a lot of my time planning events, curating and […]
That’s Riverside
This is a sign that hangs outside the chapel building @ Riverside Bible Camp (the location of our summer Youth Camp).
Passing on the Faith to the Rising Generation is Worth It! (video)
This video speaks for itself. But if I can say at least this: the time spent investing in the life (spiritually, emotionally, and playfully) of a child or teenager is time well spent. via Kidmin1124 source YouTube

Am I Prejudiced?
“All of us have inborn prejudices. What are they?” – Dr. Jo Anne Lyon Under the topic of “ethnic diversity”, Dr. Lyon asked us (WI Wesleyan District Conference) this question. It struck me because I don’t think I have prejudices, but I probably do. In fact, I’ve often prided myself on being ethnically diverse and […]
Our Indwelling and Our Infilling
This article is a re-post from a campaign/emphasis we did at Hayward Wesleyan called “Ablaze for God.” We did a series of devotionals for that week on a blog you can find here. I wrote a few of those devotionals that I recently re-read and thought I should re-post one of them here: What if […]
The Movie Was Hiding
We rented a movie for the girls at Red Box the other day and Sari had carried it inside. We didn’t watch the movie right away and when it came time to watch it, I couldn’t find the DVD. Misplaced items used to really bother me, but being married and having children has fixed that deficiency in […]
“Some Privacy, Please.”
The other day my daughter, Macie, made a rather interesting request. It was interesting because she is only 2 1/2 years-old. I had went into their room to get a couple of things as we were headed out the door. If you are a parent, you know the routine: “Get your socks and shoes on!” […]
Permission, Waivers and Release Forms (video)
Oh how I love having parents sign Permission and Release Forms! I wonder if some parents think that I relish the opportunity to get them to re-fill their information (child name, date of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, medical info, emergency contact, and on and on) many times! Now I am NOT a lawyer, so […]
