Church of Today
Encouraging Students To Serve
Kurt Skelly
February 01, 2012
I am uncomfortable with the expression that teenagers are the “church of tomorrow.” Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure well meaning people imply by those words that teenagers will one day be the adults that populate our churches and serve as leaders in our ministries.

Cary Schmidt
December 14, 2011
What can you do when your grown children begin to stray spiritually? I’ve seen a lot of parents hurt, mystified, and shaken by sudden and radical spiritual changes in the lives of their adult children. I realize, one day I may be one of them—and so could you.

Our Influence Should Go Beyond Our Lives

Dr. Michael Edwards
December 05, 2011
How will you be remembered? Perhaps that is not the correct first question—will you be remembered? I suppose each of us would like to think that our lives will have meaning and influence beyond our own days. Just what will we leave behind: money, debt, or both a physical and a spiritual inheritance?

Great Teachers Impact Their Students
Dr. Jim Schettler
November 29, 2011
You will never have a great teacher who does not have passion. The personality of individual teachers may be different and their passion may come out differently, but you have never been taught by a great teacher that did not have a passion for what he was teaching.

October 25, 2011
The contemporary church is seeing a mass exodus of young adults walking away from their faith in their late teens and early twenties. Some studies say the percentage is around 80% while others estimate it to be much higher.

Establishing a Long-Term Ministry of Integrity
Boundaries in Student Ministry—Part 1
Cary Schmidt
June 23, 2011

5 Tips for Developing an Effective Summer Routine
Being Productive in the Summer
Dr. Paul Chappell
June 20, 2011
Summer is one of the best times for making memories and becoming more productive. The longer evening hours make for great family and ministry time, and the changes in our routines that happen around this time of year, are the perfect opportunity to take a fresh look at our goals and plan our priorities.

Coming off the Bench
Training Those Who Are Coming behind You
Dr. John Goetsch
June 01, 2011
God has a plan for each one of His children. If His only goal was to simply take us to Heaven, He would do so the moment we trust Christ. The Bible makes it clear that God has saved us to serve.
