Choosing Church Curriculum – Focus without Tyranny

Yesterday I discussed the importance of a focus on mission.  I have noticed that in healthy churches I can ask just about any member what the mission of that congregation is and they’re able to tell me.  They are all on board with one purpose.  When the members aren’t sure, you can be [...]

Grace Does a Body Good!

When I first got onto Twitter a few months ago I met a wonderful man of God, Patrick Badstibner, founder of World Prayr (on Twitter).  At the time, World Prayr was mostly forwarding prayer requests via Twitter, so of course I followed and soon we became more acquainted and I got involved with World Prayr as well.
