Re: Ragamuffin Soul » Innovation Manipulation

Peter — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 14:30:09 -0000

In the context of the church, Innovation is the ability to keep moving/looking forward. Adapting while remaining consistent to the Gospel and not compromising ourselves in the process. I believe it takes a very diverse group of people to be truly innovative.

What a blessing! God never ceases to bless through those that give generously. Likewise from the giver as well as from the church. I can imagine you excitement when it came.

It worked so well when I did everything at the church. So you could say that I was likeminded with myself. There just has to be more discussion with "el jefe", not just give him his cue to go on.... discernment/adaptablility... I suppose there is no clear cut answer but good discussion

Re: Multiple Services & Youth Ministry

Peter — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 16:43:51 -0000

This is how our previous church did things:
www.thecrossing.com
Congregation of about: 2000
SERVICE TIMES:
Saturday: 5:30 pm
Sunday: 8:30, 10:00,
10:30 & 11:45 am

Traducción al español disponible en
nuestros servicio de las 10:30
(Spanish translation
available @ 10:30am)

KIDZONE
Nursery - 5th grade

at all services

IGNITE
Junior High 6-8th Grade
Saturday: 5:30pm
Sunday: 10am

REALIFE
Senior High 9-12th Grade
Sunday 11:45 am
I think since the Jr. High is larger, it allotted another service to them on Saturday.

I suppose my only concern with adding services in any capacity (being youth, worship or adult) is that if there are not proper resources (e.g. volunteers) set up to accomadate the demand then it runs the risk burning out(the minstry,the pastor, the church). Obviously we all understand that there is a job that needs to be done, done well, nay done very well. But at what cost?
It is a realistic goal but is it ultimately nessecary? Does it in fact utilize the people that are head of those ministries?

Re: Called to Ministry?

Peter — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:12:36 -0000

Hmmm...I think it is vitally important to have these types of reminders. Especially for people who work in the church. So often we can get caught up in the hub bub of ministry that we really lose it's purpose and ultimately its pure affect.
I am a firm believer that God does take care of us, when he so chooses. But I am also I firm believer that he has created us all to be good stewards, hence we are responsible for our bodies, finances, family vitality. God is in the business of creating people he can trust to make the right decisions. FREE WILL yay!
Good Post! I like to hear church people think intentionally about their lives and callings from God.

Re: Women In Ministry | A Shift?

Peter — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 12:56:34 -0000

Great post! I am never one to say what someone can or cannot do/say. I believe that it is important to educate ourselves across the board by reading different/opposing views. I had the honor of taking a class in college on this very subject. Amazing what you will find out about yourself and others as you begin to disect what you believe and why. check these books out for further study.

Two Views on Women in Ministry by various authors

What Paul Really Said About Women: The Apostle's Liberating Views on Equality in Marriage, Leadership, and Love by John Bristow

P.S. I really feel this debate comes down to where you begin your study. Genesis or Pauline Letters. Talk amongst yourselves.

Re: Who Should I Vote For?

Peter — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 13:13:57 -0000

Hear hear! Kudos to you alex. I would consider myself politically aware to a certain point . I am not passionate about it nor am I fervant on any one issue. As a Christian I have come to the understanding that Christianity is not/should not be a Political Movement. But we must understand that there are "Political Implications" for being a Christian. Thus as alex mentioned, our effort to produce a healthy christianity would be more resounding on the Grassroots level as opposed to just voting our social agenda. Not say voting is not important, because it is! Very much so, but we have to ask ourselves, what are we doing to bring about real change after we vote (not matter who is elected)? Real, authentic, selfless change.
For the whole of humanity, not just our own personal freedoms.

Re: Apple Supports No on Prop 8 - betterthanblank

Peter — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 16:58:44 -0000

hmmmm thats a sticky one... on one end I do not feel as though it is my duty to subjugate moral rule or biblical mandates upon peoples unalienable rights and freedom granted by the laws of the land. But on the other side I know that is not the intended order or purpose that God had created in the beginning. So therefore it is automatically wrong/perverse/sinful.
On both ends of the spectrum there have been numerous atrocious acts. Thats scary to me. Our inability to be objective about serious issues.
As far as the church's involvement, the conversation/push should be done more on a grassroots level as opposed to meeting up at the voting polls and flex our muscles/will/reign.

I too have close friends that are homosexuals, I feel they deserve every basic human right that I am able to live out, and I don't believe that puts my faith into question. I recognize that our world is spinning in a different cycle and my goal is not to reroute the cycle but to be a light in and amongst it.
I Still have alot to digest with this one....

God have mercy!
