“The key verse for this discussion is right in the middle: verse 11 says, ‘Women must likewise be dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things.’” Cripplegate

How do you use the term "outreach" as a church?
One common frustration I experience is not being able to communicate clearly because of changing terminology. I am among those who believe that terms need to be defined specifically — and definitions not switched midstream.

Facebook groups for Church plant
Ages ago I remember a conversation about Church plants using facebook groups. Someone offered to give tips for starting up a group. I lost that contact somehow and thought I would bring it up here and see if any of you have any ideas on how to best go about using Facebook Groups for a church plant. Thanks!

Does your church mail cds to people?
I think that mailing people sermons is a good idea not only for people here in the U.S., but all over the world. Think about it- not everyone can travel, but we are all capable of mailing things. I think it’s amazing that someone in another country could get saved because I mailed them a cd. Does your church do this?

Aiming Small: A Pastor’s Thoughts to His Congregation
The average dieter puts all his weight back on plus five percent more. Why is that? One reason is that most diets are not maintainable in the long term. The “eating deficits” created now result in binges and cravings later. One diet is all protein and no carbs. Another is no fat and all carbs. The result: Americans weigh more than ever.
On the other hand, those who make permanent, moderate, maintainable lifestyle changes to their eating habits (like measuring ice cream, cutting down on simple carbs) or exercise regimen (taking stairs instead of elevator) may not lose as much weight—but they are more likely to keep off the weight they lose.
