Politics

I usually let the political pendants take on the public officials. BUT this is too good to pass up. Senator Barbra Boxer to a U.S. General. I would prefer to be called senator rather than Ma,am. Seeing as how her last name is Boxer, Pit Bull might be more fitting. What do you think?

It is all about time.

I have noticed that too many Preachers are in too big of a hurry to rebuild a Church. They go into the process trying to change fifty or more years of tradition with just a few weeks or months of " this is the way it should be" messages, and some progress will be made over the short haul, but all will be lost over the long haul. A lot of times just one in opposition can destroy a years work. In the past few years I have witnessed several churches and pastors self destruct, because of moving too fast. one rule to follow. [ every one must be on board before we pull out of the station]. What do you think?

Small Churches, Should We rebuild them?

In the last three years or so I have been very interested in rebuilding small Churches. At this point in the post we need to identify what we term small churches, They are the ones which are in danger of extinction. We in the Missionary Baptist ranks have gotten so accustomed to "small" Churches that We often equate the size with "holy" and that is not the real case. The real trouble with letting Churches stay small is that it can go out of existence very fast. Case in point, In one local Association that I have researched, In the last ten years there have been five Churches closed up. The local Association has lost over four hundred in Church Membership. I would say that this is cause for alarm. I would like to hear your opinion.
