A Faith Worth Believing In...

I am always looking for a new book to read.

This week I got a chance to read through a couple of chapters of Doug Pagitt's new book, A Christianity Worth Believing.

I am excited about this book becuase Doug brings such a honest and fresh look at the struggle for Christian belief.

Check it out and I will be sharing more once I get a chance to read more.

Protest

If you are interested in seeing how youth are taking a stand please check out these two news stories. Some of the Youth From FUMCR felt they had something to say about a traditional Halloween event in Dallas. They wanted people to know "Hell House" does not represent how all Christians view God.

Do you Want to know more about Buddy Green???

I did. So I went on a quick google search. Here is one of the many things I found.

We are excited to Welcome Buddy Green this Sunday in worship at The Source. Check out this video to get a feel for the work of Buddy Green. He will also be in concert on Sunday night, Oct 19th at 6:30 p.m. This is a free concert and is going to be lots of fun.

New Book! - Mad Church Disease

Ministry in the Church can take it toll on individuals. I have been working in the church for 11 years now and have come dangerously close to Mad Church Disease.

Unfortunately, others I have known have not been so fortunate. I have watch several friends become engulfed and overwhelmed by the church and its ministry. Burnout is a real and scary occupational hazard for church workers.

If you are interested in helping fight Mad Church Disease, check out a free chapter from Ann Jackson new Book.

I will be getting and reading the whole book when it is release in February 2009.

Don't let your fire for Christ, burn you up.
