God is very good to us, no cliche intended. He just is. I had a wonderful time with family this past weekend and some fruitful time of ministry. I’ve driven more this weekend than I have in quite some time, but I feel that even the time on the road was fruitful. The next few months slow down as far as traveling goes, so I hope to use that time to be productive writing some new sermons/talks, curriculum, blogging, and working on a book.

For those tracking along with me on the writing project, Steph doesn’t like the title ‘The Church’s Silent Killer’, and that alone is enough for me to re-think that. So, I’m open to suggestions. We will be heading to a friends lake house next week to spend a few days writing and doing some speaking near by. Please pray for that time to be fruitful.

Well, I’m tired, so I will go for now. More blogging to come this week.

As I mentioned in my previous post, it is time for me to start writing my first book. The hang-up is no lacking content, but lacking some direction. I have been and continue to be praying and seeking the Lord as to what would best serve His work and trust that He will lead.

Here are some of the ideas that I have been thinking about. They are in various stages of development, but I thought I’d share with those of you who would be willing to pray with me and perhaps offer some insight. These are working titles:

1. Consequential Faith: A study of Matthew 6 (and various cross references) on pursuing a faith that matters.
2. The Church’s Silent Killer: Confronting the apathy in the American church, the problem, the challenges, and some biblical solutions.
3. Living Biblically: Topical books discussing issues facing today’s teens: Relationships, Discipleship, Campus Ministry, Family stuff, Purity, etc.
4. The Whole Naked Truth: Confronting issues of purity pertaining to students. Not only dealing with abstinence, but also re-casting a vision for biblical marriage as something to look forward to and actively pursue.

There a few more ideas, but they are more chaotic thoughts that are not organized, so I will spare my readers from them for now… I’m just glad that I already have a publisher to work with. That relieves some of the initial pressure.
