Amazing Bono Interview

“I never had any problems with Christ, but Christians were always a bit of a problem for me, I find them to be disinterested culturally” – Bono

Found this great video today of Bill Hybels interviewing Bono… be sure to watch all 8 parts, its worth your time…

A Sign You’ll Never See

So I’m part of a discussion forum for worship leaders, and you know, we all have the same issues in our churches; its to loud, we don’t like that new music, play more hymns, and the list goes on…

The discussion that is getting the most action is a topic called “Can You Turn Down Please” and its funny how we all seem to have similar ways of dealing with it… but someone posted this at the beginning of the forum, and its great.

A Few of My Favoirite Things

Well it wont be a few of my favorite things, just one… I have a lot of favorites, but a recent purchase and internet search brought on this post.

I absolutely LOVE pawn shops. They are by far one of my favorite things in the world. You may be thinking o yourself, but pawn shops are disgusting, its true they are, but the fact is, you can get SO much stuff in them. A variety of people sell stuff to pawn shops, some of those are: drug dealers, or drug users, they sell their stuff so they can get money for their next stuff…. and no I’m not naive, I know they sell other peoples stuff too. People who have run out of money, they take their stuff, cash it in, then they have money. Teens who decided that they didn’t like “this” hobby anymore, so they take their stuff their and sell it off. And then regular joes, who just have stuff to get rid of and figure, i could throw it out, or i could get a it of money for it.

Doing Some Remodeling

No, not of the website, of the ministry.

Youth Worship is our youth service that we have been running for 2 years.  It happens once a month.  This past year, our numbers were really down, and I’m thinking it has something to do with the programming of the night, so I want to try some new stuff this year.

Currently our night looks like this:

Intro  music (rocky)
Welcome
More Music (rocky)
Prayer time
More music (softer)
Offering
Sermon
More Music (reflective)
Dismissal
Rocky Song

My question for you all is, we are trying to be a more modern gathering, that appeals to young people today, so with that in mind, what would you like to see in a church service if someone asked you “what is one thing is a service that doesn’t happen that you’d like.”

Build Your Own Religion

Found this interesting image over at asbojesus today there really is a lot of truth behind it when you think about culture today and their thoughts on religion.
