With a tough economy, everyone could use some great gift ideas. And, while we don’t really do Black Friday around here (who wants to get trampled and pepper-sprayed?), we’ve got the next best thing: $5 CD’s and books for everyone on your list!

I'm sure there will be more details to follow as this project develops, but for now, here's our first step. UPDATE: we already have one house [...]
Ministry is foremost about people and relationships. As a worship leader and amateur sound guy I realize there can be areas of tension between the stage and the booth. Between 'us' and 'them'. But the goal of the worship leader and the sound person should be identical: to provide as few distractions for the worshipper [...]
"Will our children have to jump over our generation to earlier ones to find the Christian message again? Or will we have celebrated its fullness in such a way that they can remember from our worship what transcended our understanding, but will touch theirs?" -Donald Hustad, True Worship I wonder what our children will say [...]
Having flown several times with my guitar, I can appreciate this. It seems the throwers at United Airlines destroyed a $3500 Taylor guitar. Dave Carroll, the owner, spent 9 months trying to get them to cover the loss. When he told them he was going to post a song on youtube, they said "good luck with [...]
