Bah Humbug!: A Biblical Response to Contemporary Evangelical Versions of Ebenezer Scrooge
So Sunday Morning I plan to preach a short sermon on this topic - A short overview is posted here to just add a little mistletoe under the SI Christmas Tree. Merry Christmas everyone!
Straight Ahead!

Consider with me Luke 2:16-20. This passage is found within the larger text of Luke 2:8-20. Here the angels in celebration of the birth of the King of the Universe appear to shepherds. Notice the thrill and response of these participants of the “First Noel.”

John E. Ashbrook is now With God
Saw this at Dan Greenfield’s place http://dangreenfield.wordpress.com/2011/12/20/pastor-john-e-ashbrook/
Although he is now gone, this man’s sermons and writings should continue to be wonderfully helpful in pointing Christians to a Christ-centered life, and in helping pastors be Christ-pleasing pastors.
Requiescat in Pace, John Ashbrook.

Can you call your pastor by his or her first name only and feel comfortable doing so?
Body
Oh Yes, He’s the Right Reverend Professor Doctor So-and-So! Will the pastor feel equally comfortable with you? If not, why not? Are the answers to that question biblical or just traditional? More importantly, can you politely question their decisions and agree to disagree and still value each other or does somebody have to “win”?

Easter 2012 and a request
Its that time of year again for music ministers, Planning for Easter (even though the Christmas cantata is this Sunday)
What’s your plan?
We’re doing a self-developed concept entitled “Proclaiming the Gospel”
The idea is to use the music to tell the story of Calvary, and use excerpts from sermons on the resurrection to tie the story together.
Music includes the following (all arranged or composed by James Koerts):
Opener: Come to the Light
Entry: King of Humilty
Table: Come to the Table

An Apology to the Parents of Special Needs Children from Your Child's Former Teacher
http://flappinessis.com/2011/12/01/an-apology-from-your-childs-former-t… I didn’t know. Not even a clue. I thought, mistakenly, that having two special-needs children in my family made me more sensitive to your needs as a parent. It didn’t. And I’m so sorry for operating under the assumption that I did. … I knew a lot about autism and some about other special-needs conditions. I did care about your child. And I did want to do right by him.
