Links of the Week
Preaching Under Pressure – by H.B. Charles
I drove to my pastor’s office to tell him I was going to resign my church. He asked what did I plan to do next. I did not have a plan. I told him I may become a talk-show host. It didn’t matter. I just wanted out! I desired to get married, finish my education, and move on with my life and ministry. I had wasted enough of my youth in congregational conflict.
A Millennial Anomaly? Why I’m Still In Church – by Emily Gehman

Monday’s Preparation Brings Friday’s Success – by Ron Edmondson
In one of my consulting opportunities I was asked to help someone think strategically. We were looking at this person’s ministry, trying to design a system, which would allow for continual growth and improvement. The ministry had grown rapidly and the leader barely felt she could keep up with her current demands.

When I preach through the Ten Commandments, each sermon has four points, because each commandment does four things at once.
