The Root of Everything 143

By Tiger Talk Blog
The Root of Everything | 143 BY JOHN KELLER Won't You Be My Neighbor When the documentary about Fred Rogers' life Won't You Be My Neighbor was released, having been a big fan since my childhood, I couldn't wait to see it. There was a profound moment when Rogers stated: "love is at the root of everything, all learning, all relationships, love or the lack of it. The greatest thing we can do is to help someone know they are…

The 4 Kinds of People in Your Church

By Tiger Talk Blog
BY ADAM POWERS: I've been in and around pastoral ministry for 10 years now and over that time I've noticed that in every congregation there usually are 4 kinds of people present. I find these distinctions to be quite helpful because each group requires a different approach, and they need different things (that I want to be able to give them) from me as their pastor.

My Fantasy Team: Old Testament Prophet Edition

By Tiger Talk Blog
BY DR. JOE ALLOTTA: I think you might be surprised by Jesus' number-one draft pick. Jesus would pick John the Baptist. Why do I think that? He said so in Luke 7:48. "I say to you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John" (Luke 7:48). John the Baptist is like Scottie Pippen. Everyone who watched Pippen play knows that he's a great player. He might be the best perimeter defender ever. When the first Dream…

Your Selfie Stick Can’t Do That

By Tiger Talk Blog
Your Selfie Stick Can't Do That By: Timothy Bettelli Our Culture is Ruled by "Self" A couple of weeks ago, my wife bought me a selfie stick. I have seen people use these things everywhere they go. From one perspective it seems like a really useful tool, especially when you don't have anyone to take a picture for you. On the other hand, it also seems weird to me. I feel like it's kind of strange because the whole point of…

is there room for a Hallelujah?

Hallelujah … We Know the End and the Beginning!

By President's Circle, Tiger Talk Blog
Is there room for a Hallelujah? By Mark O'Farrell At a time such as this in our confused, chaotic, and misguided culture, is there room for a Hallelujah? I maintain there is! Why … you may ask. The answer is settled in the reality that as believers, God’s people, we know the End and we know the New Beginning that is forthcoming! It is clearly seen throughout Scripture, but Revelation 19 captures the core or essence of confidence and courage in…
