    ok and one more, in the spirit of Canadian exposure, here's STARS: Come around and say you love me Hang your heart and lights above me Is that too much to ask for? When the night descends upon us Take a shower, dry your hair by the furnace I'll watch you from the corner Telephones and old...

    Hi Bertie, I actually really liked a lot of what you had to say. Good on ya for opening up this discussion! It was just this one phrase quoted above that I had issues with. Praise should be a result of being in the spirit, not a cause. An expression, not simply a tool. Yes, we experience...

    Women as Pastors - No Go?

    Hi there, in no way to I mean to speak for Key, but I would like to say how I understood Key's argument... It does clearly state that Miriam was a prophetess. What does that mean? Well, someone with prophetic gifts speaks the truth of God to people. What is a preacher's role? From what I...

    Book you own but never read

    Hey, as encouragement - these are some great, classic titles. Some of which you will need anyway if you plan to study beyond high school, so you'll probably eventually read them. And if you don't, you will have the opportunity to share them with someone who will. Books are a great resource...

    No Christmas carols in Chruch.

    I've never heard of that before - must be a personal preference. I can understand not doing the purely santa-minded carols (Jingle Bells, I'm Dreaming...), but Christmas Carols are a part of the small chance you get in the church year to sing of the incarnation - why would'nt you want to do that???

    Coldplay fans?

    I dunno if we're still talking about Coldplay on this thread or not (I just discovered it) but I do love Coldplay. Going to see them in January, and am so stoked. The energy Chris has on stage is awesome, and although their new album isn't quite comparable to Rush of Blood... It would have...

    Book you own but never read

    Ya, I can't help myself when it comes to buying books. This summer, my fav. used bookstore closed down and a had a big sale, so I bought nearly 50 titles. I'm taking classes right now, so I actually haven't gotten to reading many of them. I think only 2 or 3 (that weren't for school). I had...

    Need ideas for youth group growth

    Hi - It's me again. I just had one other thought. If you are really interested in doing outreach events with teens - start by going to them. Go to their football games. I knew a youth pastor that got involved in the local highschool by volunteering as a basketball coach. If you have those...

    Need ideas for youth group growth

    Hi there, How big of a group do you have already? I think one of the answers might be not to worry so much about growth right now - because the more it's a priority, the more discouraged everyone is going to feel when it doesn't happen. If it is a smaller group, this is fantastic! What a...

    Women as Pastors - No Go?

    Hi there, If you notice, I didn't actually turn the passage around to speak to women at all. I was simply responding to someone elses use of the Timothy passages I had quoted, and my point was not that it was speaking both to men and women, all I was trying to say is that the use of that...

    Women as Pastors - No Go?

    Titus 1:6 If a man is blameless, the husband of one wife,..... NKJV 1 Timothy 3:2 A bishop must then be blameless, the husband of one wife,...NKJV Hi there, I just wanted to say that we should be careful with this one. I'm pretty sure that the context of this is emphasizing that the bishop...

    What music you like?

    Well, I suppose I could've picked Rock, as I do listen to a lot of indie rock bands, and Coldplay but I picked others for the lack of choices. I love funk and jazz - especially modal jazz. And I do appreciate some hip hop. Other "favorites" would be folk, and classical - especially Late 19th...

    Help?

    Ya, for sure - pray! Then, if you already have 2 people, just start playing together. I think if you make it clear what your purpose is as a band - the other musicians you attract will be ones with hearts for worshiping God. You can have interviews - take people who may be interested in...

    Does God turn His back on us everytime we sin ?

    Wow, what a tough experience for you! But good on you for standing up and responding to what didn't sit well with you. What about God's mercy? Grace? It could've been that the youth pastor was trying to communicate something else, and then she was too embarrased to admit her mistake to you...

    United Live/Hillsong United

    I've used quite a bit of their stuff. The thing I like is how easily you can tie them together. Like using certain chorus' as vamps on different songs and whatnot. As for the difficulty with guitar players - what about having different instruments playing the licks - like in All About You...

    Worship team blues

    It's true that those moments are great - but often I think we can elevate them above our true, dirty, down-to-earth relationship with the living God (as opposed to an "ultra-spiritual" experience with a feeling we have, caused possibly by great music). Please don't hear me saying that the...
