Ronald McDonald Joins Warren’s PEACE Plan.

“In a move that sent shockwaves throughout the evangelical and fast-food industries, Rick Warren announced Sunday from his Saddleback pulpit that beloved hamburger entrepreneur Ronald McDonald has “signed on” to help with Warren’s global PEACE Plan. “Ron’s progressive vision has been a great inspiration to me and Kay,” said Warren, “and we are just thrilled to have this clown helping us lead the Church into the Second Reformation.””

The Sacred Sandwich does it again.

If we can only gain control over the situation, then we can ward off what frightens us and usher…

Are You Binding the Wound or Aggravating It?

One of the privileges we have as Christians is the privilege of caring for one another—of blessing one another in our difficulties and comforting one another in our sorrows. In such “one another” ministry we represent God and extend love and mercy on his behalf. This is a precious and sacred ministry that falls to…

A Pastoral Prayer

Every now and again I like to share an example of a pastoral prayer from Grace Fellowship Church. I do this because there are few examples of pastoral prayers online and I thought these may serve to inspire themes, passages, or ideas as other pastors and elders prepare to lead their churches in prayer. Please…
