When is the convenient time to share Christ? I understand what you are trying to tell us about not annoying folks.
It would be most helpful if you'd follow this blog up with a "better how to" connect blog. Please !
Thank you!

after giving me a hard time about the pain, you are writing about it?!?! Well, sometimes that little bit of pain when you
wake up just reminds you that the day before you must have really lived, and that is a great feeling!!! |

Thanks Drew for standing up for Christ in this awful issue of homosexuality.
I wonder why they don't try the same cure for gay men? Corrective rape of men by women.

Drew,
I agree it seems a bit like the church is picking 'itself' apart these days. However, I don't so much mind the protestors
as pictured with this current post. Don't get me wrong; 9 times out of 10 gatherings like the one picture do more harm than
good. And I would never participate in one. Let's face it though, groups like this do a good enough job destroying their own
credibility without anyone having to say anything. But, at least they are not making money by making the church look bad.
I think you will remember a certain professor in Bible College that everyone felt continuously dissed the church. Nobody liked
it and it was annoying. Don't get me wrong though, I did enjoy his classes but he seemed to rant often. I feel like most of
the people you, me and our friends are reading and praising these days...make a living selling books that pick the church
apart! These guys are influencing young church leaders everywhere and its annoying. It seems to me, that the mindset of these
authors is no different than the protestors. The only difference is the platform and the money. Also, the authors make more
little disciples who go and sell the same line of garbage further picking apart the church. The protestors probably don’t
disciple well!

Very good blog Drew, and for some reason I'm reminded of a sermon you did last year or so during the 1st Mythbusters series
about how "Not everything happens for a reason"...I think it teaches us that we need to trust God and know that what hurts
us pains HIM as well...great message. |

For whoever is interested in a spellchecker option, I do not believe there is one available through our current web-server
or else the powers-at-be would have activated that resource; I am sure. Spell-checkers are available through many of the
web browsers now. I believe the new version of Firefox even has one built into it. Or you can add the "Google" tool bar
to either Firefox or Windows Explorer, it is a very fast and simple download, just Google search for whichever option sounds
more appealing and download away.
Also, thanks Drew for all your thought and for taking the time to write them down and share them with us. Even if it isn’t
said much, we do appreciate them. |

Will I ever get a response to any of my posts here? Or am I just writing to display that I have read your blog entry?
I agree wholeheartedly with this one. Too much time is spent trying to point out where others are going wrong and mostly just
by being different in their way of thinking or way of worshiping God.
Our job is to tell people about Christ and His desire to love them.
That sounds very simplistic, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Its what we are called for.. Call, Connect, and Cultivate! |

I understand your message but your illustration stunk for me. It was sort of like reading a trade manual or sports digest.(I'm
guessing at the sports digest thing since I don't and won't read it)
I had to force my way through reading this blog entry as well.
I guess it just goes to show that you can't please all the people all the time.
I do appreciate you Drew, just know when you delve deeply into sports metaphors/parables you're going to lose me since I don't
get it any more than I can read a technical manual for any electronics and get it.
My 2 cents worth.

perfect enough or anything else enough for Him to love us anyway!
Keep up the good work He has given you to do and we'll learn together how to Connect, Call, and Cultivate effectively for
Him.

AHHHH C.S, Lewis. He fell away from Christianity for about 19 years of his life. He was influenced by Tolkien to return.
It is sad when we find quotes that are just a small part of a document, and anyone who extracts small statements from his
works, really don't understand his messages. That is just like how our God does not want us to take his word in bits and
pieces to our own means. See Drew, we listen. |

Bman -
Here's a link to the entire paper/speech from C.S. Lewis.
In my mind, what he's attempting to get at is entirely different than what I am. With that said, though, the quote, in and
of itself, is still incorrect.
Anyway, decide for yourself - it's on page seven of the section on 'Christians and Literature.'

Drew,
What is the context of C.S. Lewis' quote, do you know? I find it hard to believe that a creative fellow such as himself would
be calling for its death. I agree with your criticism of the quote. I just didn't interpret his words as being a direct attack
on individualism.

great blog Drew. Your comparsion between the warmth of a good winter coat and Gods love was great. One gives warmth to the
body from outside and the other gives warmth to the soul and body from within.
As always Stephs taste is good,and being wool very warm. lint rolls have tape on them the residue left behind collects more
lint and dirt try a dryer sheet. or just brush off with a reg clothes brush. still hairs then people will know you are an

Drew - While I've always appreciated the fact that Jesus loves me, inspite of all my flaws, I never thought to myself that
it might take as much effort for Him to love me as it requires for me to "put up with" people who are irritating to me. It's
a good way for me to view my world. I soooo appreciate you! I'm grateful to have you trying to lead me in Jesus' steps. |

I have no desire to say anything that would cause Drew to have to invest in new hats because of his head swelling up but IMHO
we have one of the best minister out there. I am continually being blessed by his teaching. I am reminded of Gods' grace when
Drews' message gets thru and that requires me ignoring the "Reds and the Office"...lol A small price to pay for such sound
teaching. |

I would like to confess that I have, on occassion, graced the doors of Ashland Christian Church in my house shoes....because,
ya know...some sunday's my feet are cold and some sunday's I'm lazy and in my opinion...God has seen me through the darkest
and worst times of my life, the times when I didn't think I needed him and the times that I thought I was fine on my own...and
if he can love me despite all that, then he probably won't even blink an eye at the house shoes!! We need to remember that
EVERYONE of us is fighting some sort of battle and no matter what we look like when we enter the Church the fact of the matter
is that we are all there because our battle requires something more than this world can offer and we are there to turn it
over to God, praise him for our blessing that we have already received and the eternal life that we are promised. In God's
eye's we are all his children...no matter how worn the house shoes!!! |

Great response Drew! When I read the comments about yesterday's blog, I was getting angry that someone could be so superficial
as to comment (or even notice) someone's clothing. I think everyone should be welcome at ACC regardless of their clothing.
But then I read your blog from today, and realized I shouldn't be angry at the person who made the comment either. Thanks
for putting everything into perspective! But just for the record, I think it's important to always be aware of how our behavior/words
might effect others--sometimes it's best to not voice our opinions when it comes to other people's appearance(if for no other
reason, because it's rude). |

There are two sides to every story. I wouldn't jump to conclusions based on an anonymous comment. Whoever left the comment
logically did not want to give the other side to the story. I will give our church the confidence that it h has earned and
deserves that if this story was put in its CONTEXT that no one would have the right to be upset. Let's not jump to conclusions
and automatically think the worst. Come one guys and gals, these are people we know and love. I can't imagine anyone saying
that to someone else unless there was a reason that the request was made; and then I would even go so far to imagine that
the reason that request was made was also explained to the person. It appears that whoever left this remark would rather complain
in an open form making the entire church look bad instead of going to who they had the conversation with and discussing it
with them. |

Please tell me that didn't happen! I'm going to be ashamed of us as a church if it did. On the other hand I don't expect us
to be perfect but I do hope we are sensitive to each others feelings. I will apologize for us just in case and ask for our
forgiveness. I personally don't care what anyone wears to church, I just want to see your face as we worship collectively.

I'm sincerely sorry that someone had a bad experience at ACC - again, there's pretzels everywhere! I would like to add that
if someone's feelings were hurt about a comment on a person's clothing, that comment reflects one person's opinion. ACC doesn't
have a dress code, even if one or more people feel like we should. |

great blog Drew. on the caring about other people we should realize this also includes other peoples feelings, everyone has
feelings and they can be hurt by what some may think a small item. short time in the past it was heard in church that someones
manner of dress was not up to ACC church standards. We all need to realize that maybe a person doesn't dress as good as we
feel they should but maybe that is the best this person as. I don't think that GOD cares what a person is clothed in on
the outside but instead his concern is the soul of that person. That person came to worship GOD with us not thinking that
our church had a dress code in which case most of the people better start watching how they dress or maybe care about their
souls instead of how someone is dressed. |

To our horror, our beloved dog, Shelia, decided to kill baby bunnies. The embarrassment and the gut wrenching feeling as
small children were gathering Easter Eggs from among dead bunny corpses. To know that God also wades through the remains and
yet there is hope "Candy" makes us all stop to see how we view God and others imperfections, even if it is our family buddy. |

Great point Drew! It's been so long since I've been to an amusement park that I had forgotten all the not-so- amusing happenings
there. But we definitely don't want to be like that! |

Great job at camp everyone! I am personally very thankful for all that you do down there. I know he is only 11 but my son
came home this year with a new plan. Instead of being a special agent, he now wants to be a missionary. |

it. |

Drew. as I've said before, I love your taped sermons, when I can't get to church, but I feel cheated, I miss the video clips,
I KNOW that someone as tech savy as you can figure out a way that we can see the clip and then listen to your sermon, also,
I have been talking your sermons up at work, so new people might be listening too!!!
Keep up the good work, and see ya on Sunday!!! Thanks Marie |

This made me laugh...seriously!! Too Funny!! But the point of a fun run is to finish...the whole thing - cheating takes
the "fun" out of it!! You guys had the right idea, well - Steph had the right idea!! And I will have to agree with Ali on
this one as well, because if you were to lump me into the "middle-aged mom of a preschooler" we may have issues!! :) |

This blog was fantastic!
I do want to say that there were more than just two cheaters, there were actually quite a few, the stroller mom was just the
most frustrating. There parents with their kids who where line-crossing and the kids were trying to not line-cross. But
the parents kept telling them it was okay - that was heartwarming - not really, in fact I kind of want to vomit just thinking
about it. Remember that blog a few months back about parents teaching their kids to cheat? Oh and a large percentage of
cheaters were awarded metals... super.
Drew and Dave - you should have stretched after... still boys, maybe next time you'll listen...probably not.
Oh and I really enjoyed the onion soup blog as well! |

Ok Drew, how old was the "middle-aged" woman pushing two preschoolers in a stroller? You see, I'm guessing if she's the mother
of the preschoolers, she's not really middle-aged--At least not by my definition. I'm going to assume it must have been their
grandmother. :) |

Drew, onions and churches may be the best Blog I have read! So simple but so true. I love it! Seeing the big picture is not
always easy for any of us-old, young, seasoned, immature, or otherwise. It is so much easier for people to think of and focus
on their immediate wants and needs and this is the problem. I believe we must follow Christs example here. He never thought
short term for us and we should strive to return the favor for each other. Thanks for the insight. :) |

I really like the blog about worship. I think it is very reassuring, personally, as it probably is for others also, that just
because someone is not a completely regular church or Bible study attendee does not mean that they are not worshipping God.
Whether it is for work, family, or really no good reason at all, a person can still learn about God on their own time. That’s
what He is there for, so we are never alone. This means we can grow in Him wherever we are. I’m not saying ‘we don’t need
church’ or anything like that. Church is the best place to learn, and a place to go for support. I am simply saying that it
might be almost impossible for everyone to attend church all the time, and despite what tradition might tell us, it is probably
okay that someone isn’t an AVID church go-er. The important thing is that they are devoted worshippers of God. |

My thought on the matter would be that the argument can be right all day long, but the setting can still be wrong. I would
have to agree that this is silly and maybe all of us have a little argue bug :-). The point is; this debate really isn't
about right and wrong at all. It's all perception and who in their right mind is going to argue perception? That's like arguing
with Bill O'Reilly on opinions! LOL |

Personally I think it depends on the time and place of when you choose to argue. If you chose to do so during Bible Study
or Sunday Cultivation Classes I think you have chosen the wrong setting as it is taking away from the time others could be
learning. On top of that, others may not realize that you are arguing just because you like to argue and it makes the setting
incredibly uncomfortable for the others in the room. Aside from it being “wrong” one needs to take into consideration how
it will affect the others who may not be participating. |

So, I might like to argue a little too... I understand how its wrong, because obviously you don't want to be prideful, shoot
down others... etc. BUT, if you like to argue and I like to argue, would a situation of us arguing over something still be
wrong?? Even if ie doesn't lead to a quarrel? It's like high school debate teams without the formality.
I also understand this might be the silliest question ever. :) |

Man.... and sometimes it is fun to argue. Well beside the point. And it is also fun to be right. I remember talking to
missionaries and my room mate in Romania differently because everyone was so different. And that's okay. |

PART 3 (and I'm done...promise):
Drew, I am very thankful that you give us the facts; I can't imagine why anyone who is following Christ would want to distort
that. Isn't that what tons of other churches have done in the past? They change the context so that the congregation gets
that warm-fuzzy feeling every Sunday, but that is not the truth. I am personally interested in the facts and I want my family
to be subjected to those facts; the world is ugly, as it was in biblical days, and the reason it's ugly is because of sin...we
aren't just talking about how to lead a good life here, we are talking about Eternity...I want to make sure my family’s eternity
is in the company of Jesus Christ. |

PART 2:
I think that when it comes to life and the rules, why should we sensor ourselves. I mean Drew's not going to stand up there
and gossip about the facts of life, which many of the 4th grade and older crowd do at school, on the bus, on the playground,
with their friends...Kids are growing up WAY faster these days than we did, and they know more than we as parents would like
to admit that they do. Since we can't be around 24/7 to shield them from the peer-influenced "facts of life" why would we
try to shield them from the moral and religious values that are so desperately needed to deal with those "facts of life”?
They are given that knowledge all on their own, from peers, why should we as parents want to shelter them from the proper
decision making skills and consequences of making poor choices...Like Lisa said in her post, it is our job as parents to reiterate
that the message presented was taken in context and make sure that our children took from it the godly lesson that was intended.

Okay, I have several responses to the Blog on Monday March 16...I tried to post one large one, but I think it kicked out due
to size, so I'm breaking it up into several posts...here goes:
One thing that I have a problem with is we, as a culture, relate Christmas to Santa & Jesus; Easter to the Easter Bunny and
Jesus; when you lose a tooth the tooth fairy takes it, when you lose a friend/relative (dying) they are buried, but then live
with Jesus/God. Eventually our kids realize that the Easter bunny isn't real, that Santa isn't real and that your teeth are
really in a very little envelope in the China cabinet (personal experience, don’t ask), so how can we expect our children
to believe us when it comes to Jesus? I think that kids need to know at a fairly young age that Easter is ALL about Jesus
and his sacrifice for us; and that Christmas is ALL about Jesus and the gift that God gave us...like Drew said Wednesday
night (the 1st week of Genesis), if Moses had not given us a background as to the historical nature of our beginning the book
would have been questioned, he would have become unreliable, how do we not expect to become that to our children if we tell
them "I've told you both of these things for years, but now I want you to trust me when I say, one is real and one is not..." |

Thank you Drew!
My spiritual diet feels better balanced as I am fed more substantial food than just milk. It does require more of us than
drinking though.
Thank you again!

Drew, I sincerely appreciate your concern for the children of our congregation. As a parent, I feel it is my job to make sure
they understand and learn the Godly lesson in your sermons. That said, I pray that you always continue to preach in the real
life, real practice fashion we respect and appreciate. |
