The New Pledge of Allegiance

Posted by on Jan 24, 2011 in Ministry, Misc. | Comments 0 comments
BY A 15 yr. OLD SCHOOL KID


Since the Pledge of Allegiance
And The Lord’s Prayer
Are not allowed in most
Public schools anymore
Because the word ‘God’ is mentioned…..
A kid in Arizona wrote the attached

NEW School prayer:

Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.

If scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That’s no offense; it’s a freedom scene..
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all..
In silence alone we must meditate,
God’s name is prohibited by the state.

We’re allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks…
They’ve outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the ‘unwed daddy,’ our Senior King.
It’s ‘inappropriate’ to teach right from wrong,
We’re taught that such ‘judgments’ do not belong..

We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles…
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.

It’s scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school’s a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen

If you aren’t ashamed to do this, Please pass this message on
Jesus said, ‘If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before
my Father.’
Not ashamed.

Facebook Church… New Approaches to Ministry

Posted by on Jan 29, 2009 in Facebook, Ministry, Networking | Comments 2 comments

Everyone who has a facebook knows that the facebook community is full of  groups, causes, social events, and so much more. What many people don’t expect to see is facebook ministry. Recently, I read an article on The Facebok Blog of a guest blogger Shaun King, pastor of The Courageous Church in Atlanta. In  his blog post Shaun tells of how The Courageous Church utilized facebook in a number of ways:

  • Church Start-up
  • Advertising
  • Group Discussion
  • Fund Raising
  • Outreach

The results Shaun says is that on the opening Sunday, The Courageous Church had 700 people in attendance! And currently, more than half of the church congregation found Courageous Church through facebook.

The point is that often times we are dogmatic in our approaches to ministry. A changing and technologically advancing world demands new and exciting approaches to ministry in our call to faith. The Courageous Church is a great example of these exciting new approaches.

Tell me about some other unique approaches to ministry, especially online, you guys have seen.
