Bad Blogging

Last Updated July 27, 2005 by Matt Leave a Comment

So, I’ve been a little busy lately and haven’t blogged much as a result. I got married, went on the honeymoon, then came back to work with VBS only a few days away. So, blogging has been put on the back burner. I was doing good there for a while. Oh well.

“The Devil Took Jesus”

Last Updated June 28, 2005 by Matt Leave a Comment

I was reading through Matthew 4 as part of my daily Bible reading this evening and I got hung up on a phrase that I have read over and over. In verses 5 and 8, the phrase “the devil to him (Jesus) to [5-the holy city; 8-a very high mountain].” The devil took Jesus? Can […]

“Ctrl + S”

Last Updated June 27, 2005 by Matt Leave a Comment

Apparently the good folks at Blogger thought it would be a good idea to make a quick and easy way to publish your post without having to go into that huge hassle of having to actually click on the “publish post” button and thought, “Oh, we’ll just make it so you can publish by pushing […]

I took the “Which theologian are you?” Quiz

Last Updated June 27, 2005 by Matt Leave a Comment

Not surprisingly, I scored as Karl Barth. When we were studying Karl Barth in Church History last semester, I had to write the reading summary on him for the class (Which meant that was the only chapter in the book I read all semester. Unless Dr. Johnson is reading this blog. In which case, I […]

New Blog Name

Last Updated June 27, 2005 by Matt Leave a Comment

I decided that I needed to change my blog’s name to something that was shorter and more broad. Before, the title was like a hundred letters long. And it didn’t even roll off of your tounge nicely. “Oh, you want the url to my blog? Well, do you have a few sheets of paper to […]

Emergent Gathering in New Mexico

Last Updated June 24, 2005 by Matt Leave a Comment

I’ve pretty much decided that I am going to attend the Emergent Gathering this October in New Mexico. My ex-roommate Rusty is doing his youth ministry internship in Roswell, NM and told me that he could probably get us some free lodging for the event, which would be baller. I’m really looking forward to it […]

Pictures anyone?

Last Updated June 24, 2005 by Matt Leave a Comment

So blogger will now allow you to add a picture. But, my dial-up connection is so slow that it is taking an hour. Nuts. Tag: blogger

No blogging for who knows how long

Last Updated June 13, 2005 by Matt Leave a Comment

For some reason, my dial-up internet connection doesn’t seem to want to publish new blog posts. So, I guess I won’t for a while.

Best Youth Ministry Books

These are the books that will completely change the way you think about youth ministry, for the better. Links are to my reviews of each book.

A psychologist makes you question every assumption you have about adolescence.

Best Youth Ministry Books: Youth Ministry 3.0 by Mark Ostreicher

Yesterday I finally read Youth Ministry 3.0 by Mark Ostreicher, and since I’m one of the latecomers to the conversation I won’t summarize the book too much. Marko has linked to tons of reviews on his blog if you are interested in more in-depth summaries. If you are fairly in-tune with a lot of the […]

Best Youth Ministry Books: Postmodern Youth Ministry

Postmodern Youth Ministry by Tony Jones is the book I would recommend to youth ministers if they could just read one youth ministry book. I first read the book in my Foundations and Practices of Youth Ministry class at John Brown University. After the preface to the book there is a page titled, “The Day […]
