catching his breath

I like to occasionally direct you to blogs, books or articles worth reading. I found one this morning and I believe it has the chutzpah and punch to catalyze the type of shift in thinking and action churches need.

Mark Hamilton (PhD – Associate Dean, Associate Professor of Old Testament, ACU Graduate School of Theology) has written an incredible piece dealing with the demographic crisis in church culture. Read and start a conversation in your context.

Here is a line from it to stir your interest: “No one who has been a Christian for more than twenty years gets to be the “weaker brother.”

My family and I are leaving Hobart to go work with the Skiatook Church of Christ. We’re excited. I will be doing youth work again and can’t wait. There are so many things I can say but don’t know where to begin.

For those of you who know me (and know why some of the things have happened recently) let me simply say the church in Skiatook knows as well and have embraced my family and me. When we visited I sensed a deep awareness of God’s presence. They have agreed to provide a place of healing and transformation as we work together to find God’s activity and join up.

Thanks to God and to you all for remaining with my family and me.

Stayed tuned as I will soon begin sharing on the blog my  journey with Skiatook.
