1) Set the vision.

  1. Why? "If you don't know where you're going, you won't get there" (Clancy Hayes, Sunday School Training Coordinator).
  2. How: Everything in Sunday School should focus around a discipleship vision. Check out our LIFE Vision resources for ideas.

The image of perpetual suburban bliss, each street is lined with perfectly manicured homes protected by the massive iron gates, but a dark and delicious secret is buried just beneath the surface of this picturesque neighborhood."

I want to share a ministry secret.

Not my secret, mind you.

This secret is much better. And the best part is that you can put it to use whenever you wish.

Maybe you know about it already. Many do but, unfortunately, a small number actually do anything about it.

My church's Pioneer Clubs program has grown by leaps and bounds this year. A key catalyst has been the creativity of the club coordinator. She and her husband come up with lots of little things that make their weekly meetings fun and unique.

Being an urban youth worker can make you feel a lot like Kermit the frog--alone on your own pad with just a song to get you by. Remember in The Muppet Movie, Kermit the Frog sat with his banjo, dreaming about rainbows and bemoaning the difficulty inherent in a lime pigment? For the youth minister, it's not easy being urban because there's a need for green, along with a need for resources, attention, training, and empowerment.

From James Bond in Britain to Spy Kids in 3-D, we all love our espionage movies with a passion. It must be the combination of way cool gadgets, secret identities, and triumphing over the EEEEEVIL that lurks in every corner of the world - or maybe if you're like me, you just like to see stuff blow up... a lot.

Maybe you thought it would have been love at first bite...but shockingly Bella is still as waifish in her affections and wavering in her commitments as the first moment the bare-chested wolfish man-cub appeared to turn up the heat on the love triangle.

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal." (1 Corinthians 13:1-3)

Hollywood if full of love stories - anywhere from the Notebook, P.S I Love You, to Twilight, even Disney...you remember Enchanted don't you? Hollywood has been consistently bombarding us with their idea of love... for too long.

A few weeks ago I was having a conversation with Jeremy, my nine year old son, when he told me, "Daddy, I'm nine years old. Next year I will be ten years old, which makes me a mini-teenager, which kind of makes me a mini-adult, which means you have to take me more seriously."

Remember the old 7up commericals? They billed their clear soft drink in a green can as "the un-cola." I guess the thought in the minds of the makers of Sprite's older cousin was that if they totally took themselves out of the realm of cola they would stand alone in the marketplace. It was a brilliant marketing campaign a few decades ago. Maybe they should resurrect it again.
