How You Should Vote 2024

Several years ago Ron Sider (fairly famous Mennonite thinker) came to Central Christian school. Now honestly folks, I wasn’t 100% sure of who he was, so I didn’t widely promote him. This was a HUGE MISTAKE. I found him to be a very balanced, Biblical and blessed man who could thoughtfully wade into the political process and not get washed away into controversy. There was a small but diverse group of SMC’ers that did attend and we all felt blessed for being there. Of the three sessions I took in, the one called “Is there a way to think Biblically about politics? Was the most helpful. I will try to give you the sweetened condensed version of a part of that lecture where he told us how to vote. Note: not who to vote for, but how to vote. Let me lay out his four-step process as I recall it. (Disclaimer: this is Ron Sider through the Todd Martin lens, so there could be some distortion.) 1. Develop a “normative frame-work.” This was the term he used, but I would call it your mora...

Ed's Adventure Sermon: “Hope” A Message for All

NOTE FROM TODD: You need to know we value adventures around here-it’s built into our mission and why we sent our youth into the wilderness in June- to get them out of their comfort zones with God-this is our definition of adventure -but here’s the catch-there are 2 kinds of adventures in life-the kind you want to go on and the kind you don’t. Ed our preacher today went on one he didn’t want. Today he’s going to tell us about it. And like the true fix it man he is-he will give us tools to help us get thru it if we ever find ourselves on a similar adventure. This is the manuscript of his sermon to view the service CLICK HERE I pondered sermon titles for today like: What’s in your music?, What’s in your heart?, but I landed on Hope: A Message for All. Hope. A word Sara wanted for 2023. On August 5th, 2023, my lovely, loving wife Sara of 40 years went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She wished for a year of “hope”. Hope that neither her or I...

UPDATED For all those times you want to sing our Campfire songs... but forget the words! HERE YOU GO ;)

Campfire happens most every Sunday night at 7pm over in the wing [unless we are on a break] I t's a wilder way to worship and part of the wildness is the way we sing. These songs are fun and loud at times but then they can also be slow and quiet too. God loves variety. If you request any of these songs I'll add them to the next weeks playlist as I receive them. I've been told kids are singing them at home during the week and that makes me smile-and I know God is smiling too. So keep singing and I'll keep adding more to our playlist as the Spirit leads... so check back here often :) ...
