    We are often like the character Humpty Dumpty. Peter was too.

    Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, all the King’s horses and all the King’s men could not put Humpty Dumpty together again! There is more than a nursery rhyme there. It is a parable of life, its injuries and the failure of human effort alone. This is an EGGsample of ...read more

    In a community where 40% of the people don’t give a rip about church what are we to do? How are we to approach them.

    The 1950’s was a boom time for the Church in the U.S. and the favorite game for believers was “Hide and Seek”. Congregations would hide behind their walls and stained glass windows and those outside would seek us out. If you hadn’t noticed the world doesn’t play “Hide and Seek” anymore. Today ...read more
