I got this from mondaymorninginsight.com. I think I scored about a 70% that I am a Christian hipster. Are you a ‘Christian Hipster’? Do you consider yourself a ‘cool’ Christian? See if you qualify… Do you like? Christian hipsters like music, movies, and books that are well-respected by their respective artistic communities—Christian or not. They [...]

So, what IS the Missional Church?
I want to put the overall general description of what a “missional church” is and try to flesh it out as far as what it will look like for our church on another post. A missional church: The missional church is a collection of missional believers acting in concert together in fulfillment of themissio dei [...]

What the Missional Church is NOT
I feel that before we get to what the missional church IS and what we hope to be, part of the paradigm shift has to be a clarification of what we are NOT. I think this is necessary because a lot of us have come out of a church enviornment that has scarred us or [...]

Missional Church-What is It??
As we continue on this venture of planting a church in Harford County, both Paige and I are convinced in our minds and our spirits that it will be a purely “missional” church. But, as we have attempted to explain this to people, we have found that it’s hard to convey what is in our [...]

Christianity is Illegal!
I saw this quote the other day and it stopped me in my tracks: “If Christianity was illegal, would there be enough evidence to convict you?” I’m not talking about doing devotions, attending Sunday morning services or listening to your favorite worship CD. If Chrsitianity were illegal, would you be convicted of being a rebel…a [...]

Take Off the Veil!
I was always awed by the story of Moses and how he spent so much time in the presence of God that his face ‘shone’ with the radiance of God when he came down from Mt. Sinai…so much so that he had to put on a veil to allow others to be in his presence. When [...]
