Most of you loyal readers of this little attempt at a blog – both of you! – are also fans(?) of my buddy Gary Lamb, the lead pastor of Revolution Church in Canton and soon-to-be Jasper, Georgia. It seems I have more and more opportunities to invite folks to Revolution! (Can you “invite” someone somewhere you don’t go yourself? Hmmmm….good question!)
Anyway, I met a guy at the YMCA today who has just moved here from Arizona. In the course of our conversation, we started talking about churches and how he and his family haven’t found a church yet, etc., etc.
I asked what he was looking for in a church. His answer: Something upbeat with a great kids experience for his son. He asked about my church, and I honestly pointed him toward Revolution.
“What’s the pastor like?” my new friend asked.
I just laughed. “Just go Sunday and hear him preach,” I responded. And I laughed again.

I’m still a loyal reader, but I won’t be able to keep up with your blog as often. Hopefully I’ll be back soon.
Hiding from life right now, I guess.
Anyway, your friend has a nice post on conflict.
No brownie points for inviting people to church. You can get brownie point, though, if you find a church that gives a rip about people, deeply. I don’t think they exist.
Find one, and I’ll bake you some brownies.

[...] love it when other pastors in town love our church so much they invite people to attend our place instead of [...]

I stumbled upon your blog today (but your words picked me up). Neat to read of another brother in Christ sharing his story with the world. Go with God … go in peace!
