Re: Business Innovation: Shoot First

I came across the following excerpt from an article in an Anabaptist Financial publication. We don’t have a choice about whether innovation is coming, but we do have a choice how we relate to it. Listen to this quote from business writer Gary Hamel: “Out there in some garage is an entrepreneur forg...

Re: Too big, too small, or just right??

If the church is too small, like house church size thats not necessarily a problem, but I think that unless there is a qualified leader that the "small" church is willing to submit to as the bishop that they should have oversight from a local church bishop. The small churches generally ha...

Re: Are we living up to the Titus 2 model?

I don't think mentoring type relationships would be well accepted in Plain churches. There is something in the culture that feels threatened by too-close one-on-one relationships in the church. The OP triggered a long-buried memory in the back of my mind. When I was 20 years old, I worked on a const...

Re: Donald Trump Time Capsule

I expect there will be a popular backlash against conservative evangelicals in the political sphere. They will have signed their death warrant by "hitching their wagon" to the Trump elephant. As it becomes more apparent what a vile, vulgar, and incredibly narcissistic person Donald Trump i...
