Well, I thought I had found some brothers in Christ on this site, but considering that you like Dark themes, I cannot in good conscience be in fellowship with such a man. EVERYONE knows that light themes are loved by God and that dark themes have the stench of brimstone around them. I will pray for your error brother and that you will see the "light" JKK Ben G.

My observation is that it's quite difficult to make any meaningful progress toward ministry while you're busy making everyone comfortable. Every church must ask whether they are more concerned with ministry or maintenance. Sadly, many say mission but do maintenance. I very much enjoyed your post. Thanks.

I haven't been to Wales, but I spent some time in Shropshire (where my grandfather was born) and it is beautiful country. The people there were very friendly and gracious. Keith Price Bill:

I agree with the last comment by <a href="http://thin-edge.org/2007/07/07/never-go-to-work-for-god/#comment-3568" rel="nofollow">J Kent Kroencke</a>. It's a huge blessing to me to be able to talk with other pastors about common issues we face in an honest and open atmosphere. Because of this one post I've subscribed to your blog, Bill, thanks for putting time into it. Regarding the Redoable theme: I like it. I like dark themes that are done well and this is one of the few dark themes that I think it good. Thanks for the link to the book. I just downloaded it and fully intend to read it very soon.
