Thanks for this, Keith. I'd love to get some discussion going around the cost of our buildings.

This is powerful and counter-cultural. Thank you for sharing.
Posted in: Assessing Congregational Volunteer Capacity: A Few factors and Limits
This is a great post, Daniel, and that is a great question :) I put it under Ministry Coordination and kept Leadership Development. Does that help catch it? Thanks for writing!
Posted in: Does Your Church Hold a Blue Christmas Service?
I had lunch with my Grandma a couple days ago and she mentioned the local funeral home is putting on a service of remembering. My Grandpa went to heaven this past year and she is going to attend (as is her friend who lost her son). The funeral home invited everyone to bring an ornament to add to the tree. I thought that was neat and meaningful idea (one that has been done at the CRC offices before and could be done at churches).

The title has me so intrigued. Any favorite episodes?
Posted in: Some Dos and Don'ts from My Recent Attempt to Memorize Psalm 1
Thank you so much for your encouraging comment, Eric. I loved getting a peek inside your family life and found so many great takeaways in what you wrote. I have also found music to be a huge help in memorizing Scripture ("...so while the written notation may look a little crazy at times, hopefully the melody and tune are catchy enough to remember") and Sunday School songs have helped God's Word stick with me to this day. I love your creativity in writing the songs yourself and your passion for sharing them with others. Sadly the link did not work on my end. Let me know if I can help get it posted. I think your comment could start a whole new conversation!

Thanks for this Diane! I was overwhelmed at just one chapter but learned so much in the process. Great advice from Ray VanderLaan.
I also love how you put scripture to music with your grandchildren. What fun and such an eternal impact!
Posted in: Discover Your Bible With Crossroads Prison Ministry
Seeing this comment years later and would like to add a second plug for Crossroads! I have been a mentor for a little over two years now and it has been incredibly enriching (keeping me planted in the Word and learning with and from those in prison).
