Links of the Week

1. Dave Ferguson on 2 questions every leader needs to answer. These are great reminders to come back to on a constant basis in ministry.
2. A “review” of Revolution Church. Jeremiah is a church planter in Tucson who came out this past Saturday and this is what he thought.
3. Americans not losing their religion, but changing it often.
4. Out of Ur’s Catalyst West notes: Andy Stanley, Rick Warren & Erwin McManus. Wish I had been there, the notes make it sound amazing.
5. Snapshots of Religious Life. John Ortberg’s take on all the recent reports of the decline of the church and what that means for our culture, our churches, and what is really happening.
6. John Piper on Two cautions when it comes to teaching kids about God. These are right on and these are also one of the reasons so many kids leave the church.
7. Ed Stetzer on Networking for comeback change. He’s right on, but I’m afraid too many pastors and churches do not want to do the work to actually reach people. They think it’s too painful and will cost too much, which it will, but we’re called to it.
