This brief article is full of surprising statistics, including an apparent contrast between how churchgoing LGBT adults view most denominations (most think of the church as a whole as unfriendly to them) vs how they view their personal congregational experience (only 6% feel their congregation is unfriendly to them). Am I reading that correctly? Because that’s a huge contrast.

I generally like this sort of approach, although I don’t think it works as well when comparing poetry to prose. I think the Psalms still have pride of place when measured in terms of thoughts.

This is a wonderful interview. There are so many great lines. My favorite may be:
Q: How are the sharks cognizant enough to keep biting people while they’re flying through the air?
A: If you were a shark and you found yourself flying through the air, wouldn’t you keep biting?

Great thoughts by my friend Ben. My favorite bit, “Rainbows aren’t technically illusions. They are exactly what they appear to be, its just that you’re seeing different images from many microscopic objects to form the complete picture. That’s why rainbows are so amazing!

They are proof that every beam of sunlight is made up of all the colors you can imagine, but its only when refracted through a cloud of tiny water drops that those colors split out so you can see them.”

For my fellow ministers — words to consider by Assemblies of God superintendent George Wood.
When I served as pastor at Newport-Mesa, God directed us to prioritize missions giving. Several years after my $30,000 goal, I began feeling that the church ought to do corporately what we ask peop…
