God's kingdom come. His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Saturday, August 09, 2008. This Is Not Your Father’s World. The hymn "This Is My Father's World" uses an antiquated view of the universe as a poetic device:. This is my Father's world,. And to my listening ears,. All nature sings and round me rings. The music of the spheres. The music of the spheres. The key is that we know this is figurative language. It doesn't shape our actual perception of the world. M Rex Miller has written an analysi...

http://pastorrod.blogspot.com/2008/08/one-buttock-leadership.html
God's kingdom come. His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. Watch this engaging video of Benjamin Zander at TED. What are the implications for leadership?

Kingdom Come: Missional Gamble
http://pastorrod.blogspot.com/2006/11/missional-gamble.html
God's kingdom come. His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Tuesday, November 07, 2006. Texas Hold-’em has grown in popularity over the past few years. Most people today know what the phrase, “All in,” means. I have to admit that I’m intrigued by the game. The mathematical aspect reinvigorates a part of my brain that got a lot of use in high school but little since. I am also drawn in by the psychological aspect. I can see how people get addicted to this stuff. I think most of us would like to find...

God's kingdom come. His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Wednesday, July 30, 2008. Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "I wouldn't give a fig for the kind of simplicity which exists on this side of complexity, but I would give the whole world for the simplicity that exists on the other side of complexity.".

http://pastorrod.blogspot.com/2006/05/confessions-of-failure.html
God's kingdom come. His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Wednesday, May 24, 2006. Confessions of a Failure. In high school I was voted “most likely to succeed.”. I am intelligent, gifted and confident. So when I discerned God’s call into ministry, there was little doubt that I would eventually find myself leading a large church wielding significant influence within my denomination and the kingdom at large.
