I Wonder....
We just had our first car show/yard sale, and it all went pretty well. We had a good turnout, people seemed to enjoy themselves, and if you have an extra $25,000 laying around I know where you can purchase a really nice 1940 Lasalle. It was interesting to watch the people come and go, but it was some of the conversations that caused me concern.
I have been at Edgemere Bible Church for almost 10 years and after hearing some of the folks yesterday I wonder what we have been doing. When we have done VBS, we have coated that neighborhood with flyer's and knocking on doors. We have done team kids during the school year and had many kids from the community and their parents there for different events. I could list other numerous things we have done.
During the course of the day I had numerous people who have lived in the community for many years say, I did not even know you all were here. My thought was what have we been doing all this time, or maybe a better question what haven't we been doing. I know what we need to do, each of us must figure out a way to reach those around us. I am not talking about around the building that the church meets at, I am talking about those around us each and every day.
It is pretty clear that what we are beginning to see in surveys is true, people that we know impact us the most. I know those people have received flyer's, and personal invites, but not from people they know. Church it is time we begin to impact this world, it starts with those around you and I.

Camp Faithless: Britians First Atheist Camp
I just heard this talked about on the radio today, but just when you think you have heard it all. It is the time for camp, and I know that there is a camp for just about everything. Now in Britain they just had a camp for atheists, understand they are not trying to influence anyone just cause them to think for themselves. In the article there is an interesting thing they do.
"The British camp has, however, imported one prominent element from the original concept: a mind game centred on imaginary unicorns. The children are told to imagine that the camp is surrounded by unicorns which cannot be seen or touched, but which are there because there has to be 'faith' that they exist.
They are then encouraged to develop rational arguments to prove that the unicorns cannot and do not exist, with anyone who manages it awarded a prize - a £10 note signed by Richard Dawkins."
So just as the unicorn does not exist, God does not exist. This is being pushed more and more from all sides. Even some churches have fallen in to the trap, and are now teaching that the Bible is not totally true. My question to that is if parts of it are not true which parts are they? How can you believe some but not all? We have got to get back to teaching and preaching the entire Bible as what it is, the Word of God. If you would like to read the entire article click on the title above.

Wedding Dance
I know this will probably lead to a lot of other couples trying to top it, but I still think it is pretty cool.

I Am Good
We here those three little words a lot, mostly after a good play or the accomplishment of something we thought we could not do. Usually it is said in jest, and there are others there to help bring us back in check quickly. When it comes to getting in to Heaven many honestly feel that some how some way they can be good enough to get into Heaven on their own. How, by being good enough on their own.
The problem with that way of thinking, the Bible does not agree. In fact in the book of Romans Paul tells us there is no way we can do it on our own. If you want to know more click on the title above and check out my sermon Am I Good, the next one would be a good one to listen to as well.
