THE PURPOSE FOR THIS BLOG IS OF COURSE TO OPEN OUR LINES OF COMMUNICATION AND TO ALLOW OPPORTUNITY FOR THE EXPRESSION OF QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS.  MY HOPE IS TO MAKE ENTRIES ON A REGULAR BASIS AND THROUGH THESE ENTRIES TO STIMULATE COMMUNICATION NOT ONLY BETWEEN MYSELF AND YOU, BUT ALSO BETWEEN THE INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY FREQUENT THIS BLOG. 

TO "GET THE BALL ROLLING" LET ME ASK YOU THIS; PASTORS OFTEN STRUGGLE WITH IDEAS OR TOPICS FOR SUNDAY MORNING MESSAGES.  OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE A MEANINGFUL MESSAGE, RELEVANT TO TODAY'S CIRCUMSTANCES, AND ONE WHICH TEACHES AND ENCOURAGES ALL OF US THROUGH SOUND THEOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES.  THERE ARE TIMES WHEN PASTORS GO TO THE WELL TO SEE WHAT'S IMPORTANT, AND THE WELL SEEMS DRY!  I KNOW THIS IS HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT IT IS TRUE.  I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN KNOWING OR HEARING ABOUT IN A SUNDAY MORNING MESSAGE.  MY GUESS IS THAT WHATEVER YOU ARE INTERESTED IN, THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER PERSONS INTERESTED IN THE SAME IDEA.  SO, TO GET THE BLOG OFF THE GROUND FOR THE NEW YEAR, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN.  I VALUE YOUR INPUT.  THANKS MUCH - GOD BLESS - PASTOR KIP
