1. If you don’t read Keith Brenton’s blog, then start doing so today.

Kuo quote II
February 21, 2007

I posted a couple of days ago from David Kuo’s book, and I had a little more to follow up.

Quotes from Making Sense…
October 5, 2005

A couple of quotes from Spencer Burke’s book Making Sense of Church, which I mentioned in my last post. Both are from a chapter called “Consumer To Steward : A Conversation About Ministry.” No commentary for now, just a couple of quotes I thought were worth thinking about.

City on a Hill
August 26, 2005

Well, besides unpacking, one of our top priorities now is finding a church. Of course, this will be a long process, most likely. We’ll be visiting several places, and visiting each one several weekends, so it will likely be a few months before any decisions will be made.
