Sunday school, are you doing it wrong? A follow up to the Lifeway Article.

November 18, 2011 by Dan Barnes

When I posted my topic on Lifeway, most of the comments I received was about how the material wasn’t deep enough for Sunday School. Let me say first that I believe in Sunday School, I love Sunday School and I think it’s important, but it’s not the whole shebang. Sunday School is PART of the […]

Why I use Lifeway (and I think you should too).

November 16, 2011 by Dan Barnes

In my current ministry, I do a lot of work with Discipleship, with Sunday School and Small Groups, and I look at a lot of curriculum. Some we do in house, much of it we purchase. In all my shopping for material, I tend to lean towards Lifeway, and I think it’s the best choice. […]

What Are We So Afraid Of?

November 10, 2011 by Dan Barnes

“[F]or God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control” 2 Timothy 1:7 I believe that, but I am seeing a spirit of fear in Christians today, and it makes me nervous. It seems like Christians are afraid to stand up for things, we are afraid of the world. […]

Not all Calvinists are Created Equally

November 8, 2011 by Dan Barnes

No one likes being stereotyped, but we do it.  Often, we deal in generalities, cause it takes too long to deal with specifics.  We talk about “Baptists” or “Evangelicals” or “Southerners” or “Calvinists” or “Pagans” or “Nebraska Fans” or whatever.  We just make some broad and sweeping generalities and just assume that everyone in that category […]

Where the 10 Commandments Belong

November 1, 2011 by Dan Barnes

As I was driving to the office this morning, I heard a snip-it from Adrian Rogers. He said that God gave the Ten Commandments to families, and he talked about the commandment to fathers to teach it to your children. It really resonated with me, I agree. It seems like we want God to touch […]

Is God a Narcissist?

October 27, 2011 by Dan Barnes

I was talking with a student one day, that the most important thing in all of creation is that it reflects and gives God glory.  In the dialogue I stated that is the most important thing is to give God glory, than God also does good by bringing Glory to Himself.  The student replied “is God […]

5 books you should read (or re-read).

October 11, 2011 by Dan Barnes

So I want to share with you the books I think are essential to read (other than the Bible. No one say “you forgot the Bible”, cause I didn’t). These are great books and will help you in your ministry. 1. Peacemaker by Ken Sande. You need it. Enough said. 2. Brothers, We are Not […]

October 7, 2011 by Dan Barnes

1611 Or Naught

October 5, 2011 by Dan Barnes

  Greetings,   To my brethren in the SBC, why is thou seeking inferiority in less than ideal typography? If the 1611 version is the translation most accurate, doth text not infer grace and power also? If thou art to be correct in thy study and understanding, then why art thou not using the text […]

Does Substitutionary Atonement need Limited Atonement?

August 9, 2011 by Dan Barnes

I have often struggled with the teaching of limited atonement. I understood it in concept, but thought it was a purposeless doctrine. That was true until I read an article that was against the Doctrine of Substitutionary Atonement.  As I began to think about how Substitutionary Atonement works, I began to ponder. Substitutionary Atonement states […]

Teachability

July 28, 2011 by Dan Barnes

At a conference I attended, I heart Alan Hirsch say something I wrote on my white board in my office. “It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows”. I am not sure if that is an original quite, but I like it and I remember it for a solid […]

The Joy of Incapacitation

July 20, 2011 by Dan Barnes

I have had surgery lately, fixed a gastro-esophageal issue I have. Since the surgery, I have been immobile. Most of my time in bed, in some pain and on medications. I have been healing ok. Your prayers will be appreciated. During my down time, I have been struggling with my lack of ability to do […]
