Every Good Band Deserves Fudge: Polls

When Necessary, Use Money

The typical church atmosphere today is such that attendees are conditioned to put money into an offering plate and consider this to be a pretty decent way to spread the Gospel. hether intended or not, this method of helping, if it is the primary focus, keeps the average church-attender from actually meeting and connecting to needy people and it tells him that money is his best gift or good deed.

De-Powering the Name of Jesus

In the old days, Superman could move planets. As if that weren't enough, he could move multiple planets at once. Heck, he could even do this as a teenager! Somewhere along the line, the writers decided that this just wasn't believable enough, I guess, so they brought his powers down to a more realistic ensemble. You know, flying, heat vision, super-cold breath... the more normal things.

The Noise and Impact of Worship

How many fellowships are apathetic and complacent, perched in the middle of hurting communities and not lifting a finger to help, but instead singing songs one day a week about how good it is not to be a part of the riff-raff on the outside? Isn't it time we redeemed ourselves by our actions?

Good Deeds and Contradictions

When we're challenged or confronted with an argument about contradiction in Scripture, sometimes we can be taken completely off-guard. One of the worst responses in this kind of situation is simply to say, "I just take the Bible on faith," and dismiss the challenge as being made by an ignorant Christian-hater. The fact is, most of the time it's not the Bible we're taking on faith. Often it's the teaching of someone who pieced together some verses to bolster a themed speech.

Poll Closes in Three Days!

6:46 PM

Be sure to look at the right side of the screen and cast a vote if you haven't! You know, you can vote for multiple items. I like it when people make their polls like that, so I did it. It totally skews the results, but it's more fun that way (and this poll is just for fun).

Link to the shirt design is here.

If you want to pay me excessive amounts of money to design a shirt, click "E-MAIL ME" at the top of the page and send me info on what you're looking for. Actually, I won't charge you. Not unless you're insanely loaded and have nothing else to spend your cash on.

Oops. Gotta go. I have to go repair the kids' tattered shoes again. I won't have to do this when we can afford to get them some new ones... :-)

New Shirt Design -- Your Input Desired

6:56 AM

I designed a new graphic and I'm about to be ordering some shirts for our worship team, which is officially named "Unashamed" (that's the team name, not the shirts' name). Below is a preview, with shirt layout courtesy of Misty at CornerStone Printware (the place you should absolutely go for anything like this). I've put a poll in place in the right-hand column to get your feedback. Honestly, I'm not sure if I'll pay any attention to what you say, because I can be pretty hard-headed. At the very least, I thought a poll might be entertaining.

Here it is, presented as it will be on the shirts:

If you'd like to be in on getting one of these shirts, e-mail me and I'll notify you of pricing and our timetable for getting them ordered. There will likely be a few more tweaks before an order is placed.
