Six years ago we moved to Michigan so I could take a job at Graphics 3. Little did I know at the time that God would provide an opportunity for me to pastor in Jonesville just three and a half years ago. Jonesville Baptist Church has been a great experience for us as a family. […]
Evangelism for the non-evangelist
Lee Strobel speaks of the challenges of evangelism in this article from Rick Warren’s Ministry Toolbox. I think church leadership needs to do a better job of helping Christians understand their role in evangelizing the lost. So many in the church think they can’t do it. These thoughts are especially helpful; “John 6:44 clearly says […]
Don’t be the same person you were last year
I’m still in that mode that has me thinking about the things I want to work on during the year 2003. I suppose many of us feel as I do; that there is a lot of room for improvement in my life (yes I know, you agree, I need to make improvements in my life). […]

Speaking of Bible reading plans
Discipleship Journal magazine has available a couple of great Bible reading plans. I’ve used the original Discipleship Journal Bible Reading Plan and have really enjoyed it.
