What type of ship is your church? Cruise ship, fishing boat, battleship, or what?

Every boat has a purpose and reason to exist. Some are for entertainment, some are for secret war missions, and others are for turning a profit by catching fish. Houseboats, submarines, pirate ships, and lifeboats. Each have their reason for floating.

The same is true for a church - while the church theoretically exists for God's outlined purpose in scripture, they go about it differently. Some use entertainment to get it done. Some use a battleship and weapons to get it done. Some streamline to be effective at it as possible to turn a profit. Yet others simply serve to be a life saver.

Question is - what type of ship is your church most like? What ship would you like it to function more like? Why?

Newest addition to our family

Looking over the past month or so - this blog has taken a turn. While I still post about church, worship, ministry, and tech stuff - I'm posting more and more about family stuff. That said, here's a pic of our newest addition to our family. And if you'd like to check out our fam blog, head over here. Thanks to my wife for keeping our fam blog rolling.

Growing in numbers and fear, the #church (not the #swine flu)

Check out this verse.  When a ministry grows in numbers, is it also growing in fear of the Lord?

After, all glued up

Big boy! Not a single tear. Quote of the evening, "Your air smells
nice," while they glued under his nose. She thought he said, "Your
hair smells nice."

During, ridin' the bed

Before, in ER, split lip, fell outta bed

Introducing the iBible

Some of it funny. Some of it not. Some of it believable if it were early 1990's.
