For sure, been teaching my students for years that hospitality provides example, accountability and promotes the great blessing of mutual ministry in the body.
Chad Van Dixhoorn on how hospitality can act as a bulwark against ministerial failure. For so many pastors that fall, it comes out afterwards that no one really knew them — how they were in their private life and with their families.
Pastors: open your homes.
Congregants: encourage your pastors to show more hospitality.
"How would your life change if you truly believed that nothing ever happens to you, but proceeds for you from the gracious hand of Christ?" (Pastor Greg Baker, @BJUSeminary retreat)
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst
This world can't satisfy? (Laura Story)
I needed this meditation today!
Just because you say "That's good Bible preaching" doesn't mean it's good preaching of or even remotely from the Bible...
"One hour on Sunday cannot sustain a believer's life for the other 167 hours of the week" Tim Keller @BobHarrington
Christian, do you primarily think "what can I get from the church that will help me?" Or do you believe "what has God put me into the church to be a help for?" Members of the body are gifted and given both to receive and to give (Eph 4:16).
"Soul Care" has returned from history as perhaps the most popular term in biblical counseling. I hear it a lot. It sounds spiritual, but I'm not sure it is sufficient for all the Bible addresses.

When a church’s trellis is broken, its ministry vine can’t grow. This is why church operations—the daily management of people, finances, and processes—is so necessary.

70 years ago today these men departed the land of the dying for the land of the living. They gave what they could not keep to gain what they could not lose.
I've always thought everyone should get back on and take some consequence for a wrong choice. Go Hoosiers!

I am out of the country but I think this is something that needs to be said right now. The SBC is at a crossroads.
An old Mark Dever workshop: We design our worship [emphasis on congregational singing] so that "if the electricity goes out, the Holy Spirit is still here."
This is one of the best conferences for Pastors to attend. Highly recommend!
There is a close tie to our "response" and our "responsibility." The more responsible we are for a job/place/person, the less blatantly critical our responses are.
Those who seem most critical, esp online, are those who take the least responsibility for investment and involvement.
