Don’t Neglect Your Local Church For Haiti

By Cliff, February 12, 2010

After the earthquake in Haiti we saw many benefit concerts and songs sprout up all over the place. People also started texting donations to multiple organizations. If your life is anything like mine, I’m sure many local organizations also held collections to benefit Haiti.

These are all good and helpful things. I am confident that all of our contributions are needed and valued. However, we should not neglect our main priorities to support the people of Haiti or anyone else in need. I know this may sound harsh on the surface, but I believe that this is God’s will for our lives.

Dear Pastor, your church has serious problems if…

By Cliff, January 25, 2010

It always saddens me when I see churches begin to unravel at the seams. I know that pastors have very challenging jobs. There are usually many warning sings that the pastor never notices.

I decided to put together a little list of warning signs that pastors should be aware of. Some items on this list are done in fun, while others are a little more serious.

Dear pastor, your church has serious problems if…

  • The seat you sit in every Sunday is worth more than the entire church building.
  • There are more people in the hallway than in the sanctuary while you are preaching.

5 Reasons Why Your Kids Hate Going to Church

By Cliff, August 21, 2009

Do you sometimes find that getting your kids to get up and go to church is a struggle? They have probably been going to church all of their lives, but for some reason they just don’t want to go to church.

If your childhood was anything like mine, going to church was not an option. If you lived in my parents house, you had to go to church, whether you liked it or not. Even though I didn’t go to the most kid friendly church, I was blessed enough to find a place of comfort where I could grow in the Lord.

Should President Obama Have a Church Home?

By Cliff, July 28, 2009

According to an article by The Christian Post, President Obama starts his day with prayer and devotion. I think that is great. Many people have looked for Obama to be the messiah that will save America. As foolish as that notion is, I’m happy that the President realizes that he can’t do his job without God’s help. That is a good example for us to all follow.

The article also talks about the Obama’s lack of a church home. Before becoming president, Barak Obama and his family belonged to Trinity United Church of Christ. They withdrew their membership once controversies began surfacing around the church’s pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Why Men Don’t Go to Church

By Cliff, June 19, 2009

There has been so much written and spoken regarding why men don’t go to church. So, in honor of father’s day I thought I would throw my 2 cents in regarding why many men hate church and others just don’t go. Here is the brief list I came up with:

1. Men Aren’t Show the REAL Jesus
In most churches, Jesus is portrayed as the “meek and lowly lamb of God. Many churches often neglect what I call the tough side of Jesus. The bible clearly displays many instances where Jesus was anything but meek.
