Here are some great posts form this last week… at least they were great to this small, feeble minded guy!

• Tim Stevens talks about institutionalism and moving forward in his post: “One thing that scares me.”  He also had another great post this week that you need to read called “What Do You Measure?”
• Pete Wilson talks about being “Seduced into idolatry” in the church.
• Probably one of the funniest I read this week is Mark Beeson confessing, “I’m a stranger in these parts.”  All about Texas!
• Tony Morgan asks the question, “Does The Church Need A Building?”
• And finally, Scott Hodge talks about “Worship Leader Essentials.”  Great post!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

With the move and getting settled, I have been off-line for a bit when it comes to blogging.  Friday Links is an easy way to get started again, so here I go.  Here are some great posts I read this last week.  Enjoy!

• Tony Morgan talks about “Change”… there are some great take-aways from this!  I had to edit this post less than 5 minutes after posting to add this one from Tony on How To Start A Movement. What a great post on leadership, and most importantly, being a “first follower.”  WOW! Just WOW!
• These posts were from last week, but Mark Beeson had an awesome post on the talent pool in your church, and, he gave an awesome overview of the persecution Christians went through under Nero… one of the best I have heard!
• Perry Noble speaks some encouraging words to pastors.
• Rob Wegner shares about the poor not being helpless – great stuff!

That is enough for today!  Enjoy your weekend!

Not a lot of time as I am in the middle of moving my family across the country, but here are a few great posts from this last week:

• Mark Beeson had a great post on “Eight Reason Good People Volunteer.”  Awesome read!
• Pete Wilson posted a great thought on “Impression Management.”  And he had another great post on “Why Pastor’s Should Blog.”
• Perry Noble talks about “How to get buy in from your staff” here and here.
• And of course, this post from Scott Hodge, because my pic is in his post!

Have a great week everyone!

I know a lot of people do a “Follow Friday” every week.  I enjoy seeing all the connections with that. I read many blog posts during the week that sometimes I forget about at the end of the week, but yet they were SO good, good enough to share.  So, with that said, I am going to start a “Friday Links” post each week just to recap the posts from bloggers that really spoke to me during the week.  I hope you will check them out as well, and that they will speak to you as well!

Here are a few links from this week that would be worth your time to check out:

• How To Make Sure Your Church Is Boring! and What if the Pharisees Had Twittered? – Classic Perry here.  Love it!
• This one is from last week, but Tony talks about earning your Platform.  Go read it!
• That’s Not What I Thought I Was Signing Up For – Kem shares about giving clarity to volunteers to help them stick.  Awesome post!
• Craig gives his input on Personal Generosity.
• Loved this post by William - A Reservation For The Unwelcome
• Anne shares from her heart on “Envy Eats Away My Heart.”  I love her transparency!
• Jeff shares from his heart as he talks about Suffing.  Thanks for sharing that Jeff!
