Wow – I’ve reached #80! Amazing! This week I’ve got lots of great blog posts and more, starting off with something really silly!

Silly Video of the Week!

Here’s my latest video to help the folks at KCC get to know me. It took them a while to get it online, but Mark did a great job editing what I did. You’ll notice Brian showing up in the background and some word balloons popping up on the TV, none of which were there till Mark used his magic video editing skills!

Some Great Blog Posts

Gary Lamb On Paying the Price in Ministry - great post here from Gary, filled with his usual brutal honesty!

Chris Elrod On The Look Of Leadership In Defeat – another long overdue, blunt, right on assessment of what real ministry is all about!

Bob Franquiz On Exposition – good post about how vital it is to be Bible based in our preaching!

5 Reasons Why The Emerging Church Is Receding – good insight.

Confrontation in the Ministry - seems like lately there’s been a lot of posts like this – must be a time of being stretched and tested in much of the church.

The Rick Warren Round-Up!

This week Rick Warren met with some young Pastors who also happen to blog as well. He made a big impact on them, so I thought I’d put link to some of their posts about it. Love him or hate him, Warren has probably encouraged more Pastors than any other single individual that I know about.

Mark Batterson – What A Way To Start The Week

Integrity, Humility, Generosity

Jay Hardwick – God Anoints People

The Cyber Village Idiot - not one of the guys at the meeting, but it ties into it.

Washington Post Article on Warren’s work with AIDS and poverty, with an outstanding example of him saying things that leave him open to vicious opposition.
