Link-O-Rama

I don't think of have done this before, but I plan on doing it from time to time. Below are a few links that i thought were well worth the read. I hope to meet all these people at some point during my life time. hopefully sooner then later. I would love to pick their brain. I believe each of these people God is using in a huge way. I know God has used them to challenge me.

First Time Guest-Nelson Searcy-a great article on how we treat first time guest at our churches. I know I have done this before.

Communication takes a Giver and Receiver-Kem Meyer-a great post about how we make people feel when we communicate with them. Great stuff to think about. I love the honesty in the letter. I have felt like writing a couple of those letters before.

Bob-Perry Noble-challenging entry about reaching out to others. God is really challenging me to seek out more Bob's to get to know. Do you have a Bob?

Are You Comfortable with being Uncomfortable-Tony Morgan-incredible post about how we create our services. It can be easy to get lulled into comfort. I hope we always stay on the edge of the next generation and not on the passing one.

I hope these are helpful and inspiring.

I am really enjoying Phil Wickham's music. I've known about his music for quite sometime, but just didn't really start listening until about 6 months ago. I would encourage you to check out his stuff. You can actually get a live album right now for free! (thanks Jan for the tip) You give them your email address and they will send you a link to download it. It is worth it. Let me know what you think.
