I would also like to see the material you spoke about putting on yuour blog – and I do not seem to find it. I know this is almost a year later – but is this material still available? I serve a part-time Methodist Church and think this is exactly what I am looking for for this year. Thanks for any help,

Ryan,
I like what you have prepared and very much appreciate you sharing. I have felt inspired to focus our Lent on Means of Grace. Upon finding your material, I am hoping for your blessing in our using this as a model for our series here in 2012.

Blessings,

Thanks, David. Your friend could help us pastors, then. I’ll have to look up his company.

An entertaining article with an important message. A good friend of mine owns Humor Consultants. I’m forwarding this to him.

Comment on A Pastor is Thankful for Christopher Hitchens by Jeanne K.

Dear Mr. Gear,
While ‘some’ of what this man said is true about “religion”, what about those who have faithfully followed the Lord and done what the Word has asked of them, only to have persons like Mr. Hitchens come along and make things even worse for those in the body of Christ, who may be ‘new babes’, struggling with their faith, etc.? How exactly has he “helped the cause of Christ”, when he went to his grave “disbelieving the very existence of the God who created Him and Jesus Christ as well? “His brother” who came to the Lord recently, also lamented over the fact of the ‘destruction’ that he and Mr. Hitchens caused by turning “many” away from knowing God as well. With the help of the Lord, Hitchen’s brother is trying earnestly (with the help of the Lord) to ‘repair’ some of the destructive damage caused by the stand that they took (Mainly by talking about the non-existence of God/Jesus Christ, and how those who follow “Them” are just as deceived), but he says he’s not so sure of how far he’ll get. Lastly, your story is your own, and if you felt lead to publish it and it helped you then that’s a good thing, but I also look at the horrific and soul destroying stands men (women, etc.) like this take in their delusions, by turning away those who NEED TO KNOW GOD/JESUS NOW MORE THAN EVER, and fall under their dangerously hypnotic and destructive lies and if they don’t turn to God/Jesus, are “forever lost” and that is tragic beyond belief.

Last week’s sermon was full of interesting information. We’re still discussing it. I only wish I could have written faster as I took notes.

Thank you so much for sharing the template for the greeter name badges. The design is awesome! We are just starting a Greeter Ministry at Pioneer UMC in Walla Walla, WA and we are using your design. They look very professional and I appreciate your willingness to share your ideas.
