		<description><![CDATA[Does your church just make you want to leave? Find another place to worship or just not go? (And by the way, you’re the pastor!) Many years ago I read a very good book called “Toxic Church”. It is out of print now, however there are others out there as I just discovered on Amazon. [...]]]></description>

There is and should be a strong place for foreign missions. Many of us have served abroad and worked with or supported those who do. We believe in missions! We also support the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Numerous times I’ve observed and lamented the fact that few churches across North America have in place an intentional leadership development process. The latest research affirms the same. James Gribnitz, in his research for a doctoral project at Dallas Seminary gives us four reasons why: Churches don’t know how to develop leader Churches don’t hire [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning I had an opportunity to read part of a blog from a pastor encouraging his congregation to tithe. He was biblical about his approach and the fact that we live by grace and the tithe or 10% is just a starting point.

They’re set up with timed stoplights so you can drive the speed limit without stopping.
