Merry Christmas Friends:
In the world of church ministry – Christmas is a crush of scheduling and activities (that is my excuse for not posting since Thanksgiving!) – but ultimately it is worth it for the chance to communicate the message of “The Birth” to a world that for a moment is a bit more receptive. This years Christmas Celebration can still be seen on-line at www.capecodchurch.com/teachings and has been viewed over 4000 times in the last week!
Now for a bit more of restful time – I am looking forward to sitting back with our family for the few days – enjoying some “Ben & Bills” Chocolates – reading a few good books (Clive Cusslers “Arctic Drift” & Malcom Gladwells “Outliers” )
I am looking forward to 2009! Times of societal and economic uncertainty are perfect opportunities for God to show Himself strong. But before we get to 2009 – a deep breath of family and refreshment as we celebrate Christmas together.
Merry Christmas!
N.T. Wright makes a simple and profound case for Christianity. Whether you are looking for answers or ways to explain faith to others "Simply Christian" is a great tool

I love Stotts approach to issues - Faithful, thoughtful, compassionate! A great "Field Guide"
A sobering look at statistical trends for churches across America and by region and type of church (Evangelical, Catholic, Mainline Protestant)
America is increasingly polarized by region - the Blue get Bluer and the Red get Redder. And the church seems to follow the trend rather than challenge it.
A comprehensive case for Chastity from a woman who has seen both sides of the issue and knows how to write about it!
A different take on the Church, Politics, and how best to see transformation take place in people and in a nation.
