What’s A Matter with Church Growth Movements Anyway?
In the conservative Evangelical and Reformed circles I’ve run in over the years, I’ve come across a lot of skepticism and criticism of church growth movements. I’ve always questioned what seemed to me a knee jerk reaction, even if the criticisms could be justified at...
The Most Important Book of the 21st Century: “The Age of Entitlement”
I heard several people reference how important a book The Age of Entitlement is, but I had no idea just how important I would come to see it. The title actually kept me from reading it for a while given I have a bunch of other books to read, and I thought I knew what...
