Choosing songs at church can sometimes be harder than it seems.
Sometimes we seem to have too many new ones. Sometimes there are too many old ones.
So, here’s a guide to choosing the right mix of oldies and newies… using the same formula as the radio stations.

One of the big things that faces all Christian people is whether or not the belief is just skin-deep.
I’ve written an article for the Fervr.net website that challenges us all to consider if we are Christians to the core, or whether it’s just on the outside.

When Jesus rose from the dead, it was a time for celebration, not sadness. Yet, Mary stood by the empty tomb in tears.
Jesus’ first words after his resurrection were to her, as he asked “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”
His question showed that the resurrection of Jesus was a twist in the plot of his life that she never expected.
And this showed that she misunderstood the death and resurrection of Jesus.
But for us who understand the resurrection of Jesus, the empty tomb is the place of hope.

I’ve just written an article for Fervr.net called ‘Is it right to see One Direction in concert?’
The aim was to help youth think about how they use their time and money.
It would be great to share it with any teenagers you might know (or just ‘Like’ it on Facebook), as you help them think through these big issues.
The Kony 2012 phenomenon is remarkable on many fronts.
Regardless of what you think about it, you can be assured that our young people know about it and are trying to work out what they should think and do about it.
To help them and to help us grownups, I’ve written two articles.
The first I wrote for sydneyanglicans.net called ‘Talking to kids about Kony’.
In this, I offer seven things that adults should think about as they talk to youth and children about this topic.
The second I wrote for Fervr.net called ‘Should you help make Kony famous?’.
This attempts to apply the advice I’ve given in the earlier piece so that my seven ideas can be modeled to anyone trying to work out just how to put these thoughts into words.
You might also refer the youth in your church, whether believers or unbelievers, to this Fervr.net article.
Let’s pray that our youth are wise in responding to Kony, but far more importantly, wise for salvation.
