We're all bruised, broken, damaged: Some a little, some a lot. Some by others, some by our own actions. Fortunately our God meets us where we are, and works with us regardless of our perceived shortcomings or brokenness. This blog is less about that, though, and more about interesting facts, data, comments, tricks and tips I collect from all over the web. Hope you find something useful here too :) Go to www.thepaulnetwork.com to check out my Men's Ministry :)

10 Other Things That Drive Someone Else Crazy About Working for a Church | TimSchraeder.com
10 Other Things That Drive Someone Else Crazy About Working for a Church | TimSchraeder.com: Jonathan Edwards famously said, “The Church is a whore, but she is my mother.” It is both with angst and love that I come to and work for the church. The angst keeps me pushing to make the church a healthier, more Godly place, and the love keeps me continually embracing its brokenness.

The Pursuit of God by Aiden Wilson Tozer - Books Should Be Free
The Pursuit of God by Aiden Wilson Tozer - Books Should Be Free: "As the heart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God." This thirst for an intimate relationship with God, claims A.W. Tozer, is not for a select few, but should be the experience of every follower of Christ. But, he asserts, it is all too rare when believers have become conditioned by tradition to accept standards of mediocrity, and the church struggles with formality and worldliness. Using examples from Scripture and from the lives of saints who lived with this thirst for God, Tozer sheds light on the path to a closer walk with God.

Thomas Brooks
Thomas Brooks: Thomas Brooks (1608–1680) was an English non-conformist Puritan preacher and author. Much of what is known about Thomas Brooks has been ascertained from his writings. Born, likely to well-to-do parents, in 1608, Brooks entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1625, where he was preceded by such men as Thomas Hooker, John Cotton, and Thomas Shepard. He was licensed as a preacher of the Gospel by 1640. Before that date, he appears to have spent a number of years at sea, probably as a chaplain with the fleet.

"Reader, remember this: if thy knowledge do not now affect thy heart, it will at last, with a witness, afflict thy heart; if it do not now endear Christ to thee, it will at last provoke Christ the more against thee; if it do not make all the things of Christ to be very precious in thy eyes, it will at last make thee the more vile in Christ's eyes." Thomas Brooks
