chris on Fri, October 07, 2005
NIV
- Megachurch
- No tie
- Pro Rick Warren
- Manuscript as a safety net. I have it with me but rarely use it.
- Ever ‘heavily borrow’ sermon material? Not in the sense of plagiarism.
- Ever use someone elses’ sermon Word for word? Never. If you don’t have integrity from the pulpit, why should your congregation have them when they deal with your job?
- Communion: bread
- Contemporary or Traditional? Blended with a contemporary feel.
- Guys only
- Ed Young
- Rick Warren
- Mary Ann
- Church Plant
- Root beer
- Seeker Sensitive or Anti-Seeker Sensitive? Uh… this one isn’t worded fairly. I think you should be sensitive to your guests, but believe Romans 3 is pretty clear that there are no seekers. And, I think 1 Timothy 4 makes it pretty clear that the audience of the sermon should be believers. So, I’m for seekers, but against messages that are afraid they’ll offend unbelievers.
- Purpose Driven
- Sunday Church though our church has a Friday night church service that I love. As a non-teaching pastor, it’s really nice to get a weekend off.

KJV or NIV? >> both and then some
Megachurch or Small church? >> mega with small venue campus options
Dress: Sunday Tie or no tie? >> whatever as long as it isn’t JUST a tie (my parents were missionaries - i’ve heard stories…)
Pro Rick Warren or Anti-Rick Warren? >> why in the world would anyone be anti-RW? how ignorant would that be? wanna fight?
Sermons: Manuscript or no manuscript? >> just notes
Ever ‘heavily borrow’ sermon material? >> oh yeah
Ever use someone elses’ sermon Word for word? >> nope
Communion: bread or cracker? >> we actually have these little packages that have a wafer and the cup all in one peel-top disposable unit - still means the same thing, just easier to distribute.
Contemporary or Traditional? >> contemporarily traditional
Women Pastors or Guys only? >> mostly guys
Ed Young or Erwin McManus? >> i don’t want to have to pick - love them both.
Rob Bell or Rick Warren? >> same deal - different ministries, but i love reading both (i admit that bell has a little more appeal to read, though - but then he’s seriously hip)
Ginger or Mary Ann? (or for you ladies, Gilligan or the Professor?) >> i just want the howell’s bankroll. you can keep the floozies.
Multi-Site or Church Plant? (or both?) >> both and more - missions via multi-site intertwined with media - a great braid.
Root beer or Bud light? diet coke with splenda
Seeker Sensitive or Anti-Seeker Sensitive? >> now why in the world would someone be anti-seeker sensitive - think about it - do you WANT to push people away? sure, there’s a line somewhere that you have to be willing to offend, but that’s the cross itself.
Purpose Driven or Anti-Purpose Driven? >> again, why in the world would you NOT want to be purpose-driven? even if you aren’t a fan of the book, you’ve got to want to be driven by a purpose. the alternative is - what - floating thru life? that sounds great.
Saturday Church or Sunday Church? >> both - whenever, whatever it takes.
thanks for asking.
