Something Else Good to Read

CBR001041

Even with a lot of writers taking a mini break fro the Thanksgiving Day holiday, there were still a lot of good things to read. Here are just a few. Enjoy.

  • Michael Spencer over at Internet Monk.com wrote a great post on Christian Community and Abandoning Commitment. In the post Michael deals with the notion that while contemporary forms of evangelicalism have done much for church growth, they have done little to develop a true sense of Christian community. Its a good, thought-provoking post that calls for leaders to rethink our notion of “church”.
  • If you are a preacher, or even if you’ve only listened to one, I’m sure that you will agree with Peter Mead’s assessment of a temptation that all preachers face–using one text to preach another. Preach It From The Right Passage is a post from Biblical Preaching.
  • Whether you believe in luck or not (personally, I don’t), you can benefit from the 4 tips in Jon Gordon’s blog post Enhance Your Luck.
  • Finally, two posts from George Ambler at The Practice of Leadership. Are you living the Leadership Challenge, and The Lesson of the Moth. Both are good reads. If you are familiar with the foundational leadership book The Leadership Challenge, then you will enjoy being reminded of the principles that the book espouses that all extraordinary leaders should exemplify. The second post is just great to me, calling leaders to stop playing it so safe all the time.

Something Else Good to Read

42-16539603

Every Monday I will begin to post some of the more interesting things that I am reading in the Blogosphere or in print. Here it goes for this week. Enjoy! I did!

  • Over at The Batterson Blog, Mark Batterson wrote an interesting article on how he sees influence being redefined.
  • In “Is your behavior damaging trust“, George Ambler at The Practice of Leadership highlights an the 25 behaviors that contribute to building mistrust on a team. These are insights George pulled from an article in Management-issues.
  • “Become a better leader with 30 day experiments” is another good post that George Ambler gleaned from and article in Management-issues. It is well worth the read. It would be interesting to hear what some of you were able to do in 30 days.

Something Else Good to Read

Like most bloggers, I am also an avid reader of blogs, books, newspapers, websites, and anything that I can get. I recently came across Cerulean Sanctum, a blog written by Dan Edelen. Dan offers some keen, insightful, and well articulated posts on his blog. Of particular interest to me, and possibly you, were a series of posts on the state of the charismatic movement in the Western church. I’m linking to them below. Keep up the great writing Dan!
