@realgreglee YES! Matthew Bates is the man.

@AJGilmer Lolololol his name is merely a device for the alliteration, not an all out war on John Maxwell 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

[Rob Ebbens @RobEbbens]

Perhaps it’s time that we write about how the obsession of leadership in churches, though it began as a corrective, has begun to take on worship and weight that is undue. Instead of “Jesus and John Wayne”, how about “Jesus and John Maxwell”?

[Rob Ebbens @RobEbbens]

The main premise being this: beginning as an aid to pastors and clergy, what has developed is a leadership culture of pastors who are much more like CEOs, a “leadership-hermeneutic” to Scripture, and a success-obsessed ministry that MUST grow.

Back on Twitter after a long break, what did I miss?

@DerwinLGray I think I would prefer your work on it as opposed to much that is out there. If you could do this, I’d appreciate it a lot

This goes for Canadian commercials as well. I wanna know what’s going on, from Vancouver to Montreal.

[Rob Ebbens @RobEbbens]

@ESPNNFL I have a request for Power Play: I want all the local commercials.

Is there a lawyer in Buffalo I don’t know? I’d like to know them.

Is there a pizza joint in Seattle I should visit? Tell me more.

Why should I shop at @BinnysBev? Chicago needs to tell me.

Multi-site church = diocese
Campus = parish
Lead pastor = bishop
Campus pastor = rector

That's cute. Your episcopalian. You just don't know it.

I’m just over here, appreciating Ignatius of Loyola and Erasmus of Rotterdam, loving all the counter-reformation Catholic peeps

Protestant Bibles should come standard with the deuterocanonical books and early Christian writings (Clem of Rome, Iggy of Antioch, Barny, the Didache, etc)

Spicy take for the day
