But there is something about these questions that cuts right to the core of my being. They are good questions. and they cause me to pause and reflect. I picked them up one Sunday morning when I was visiting my church away from home, Apex. 1 What is it right now that requires courage. From you to act on? 2 Do you feel like you are meeting. With the people of God? And stum...

clay's world: 3 questions... Kick-off

http://clayburkle.blogspot.com/2008/02/3-questions-kick-off.html

3 questions. Kick-off. I'm kicking off a week long series called "3 Questions". Where I will pose three questions about the church to a different pastor each day, then share their answers with you. Each guy is different. They are in a different part of the country. They are in a different cultural context. They have different roles in their church. They have different likes and different opinions. but each has a strong opinion about the church. Each guy is similar. Every one is seminary trained.

Revitalize Your Church: Look Past the Troubled Waters

http://revitalizeyourchurch.blogspot.com/2015/07/look-past-troubled-waters.html

And in my sighings,. Hope's arising. . . Just in time to whisper,.

Revitalize Your Church: April 2015

http://revitalizeyourchurch.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 26, 2015. There's Sunshine in My Soul Today. The words of this old Gospel song came to my mind this morning. I have not heard it since childhood:. There is sunshine in my soul today, more glorious and bright. Than glows in any earthly sky, for Jesus is my light. Oh, there's sunshine, blessed sunshine when the peaceful happy moments roll. When Jesus shows his smiling face, there is sunshine in the soul. There is music in my soul today, a carol to my King,. Text: Eliza E. Hewitt, 1851-1920.
