Why Preach Romans?
10/2/2008 2:24:21 PM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
"The Book of Romans has always been one of my favorites for two reasons. First, the doctrinal truths helped me understand justification, redemption and propitiation when I was a brand new Christian. I have never doubted my salvation in large part because I was encouraged to read this book as a new believer. I like this book for a second reason because I met my wife Beth in a Romans class at Moody Bible Institute. Reading this book always makes me think of her."
Teaching Students The Applicational Power Of The Big Idea
10/31/2008 2:23:44 PM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
"Expository messages sometimes seem irrelevant. Often the reason is that the big idea is stated in exegetical, rather than applicational terms. This paper discusses how to teach students to use the big idea as the applicational core of the message."
Theology: A Master Key for Unlocking Application in Biblical Preaching
10/30/2008 2:23:05 PM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
"Application is missing from many biblical sermons because preachers do not see a common link between the original audience and people hearing God’s word today. This paper explains how the theology of the biblical text links the modern audience to the original audience."
How to Share the Gospel Clearly
10/29/2008 2:22:02 PM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
"Once, when I was invited to preach at an evangelistic rally in Dallas, the organizing pastor introduced me to a dear woman before the meeting. He had talked with her previously, but remained unsure whether she was saved or not. He left me alone with her, so I asked some "diagnostic" questions to find out for myself. I concluded that she did not really understand the Gospel, so I explained it to her as clearly as I could, then led her to place her faith in Christ."
Keep it Clear and Simple
10/28/2008 2:21:30 PM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
What does a person have to believe in order to be saved? I have heard everything from "Believe in God" and "Obey the Ten Commandments" (or "Obey the Sermon on the Mount") to "Just believe that Jesus loves you."
The Number One Mistake Most Preachers and Communicators Make
10/27/2008 2:20:24 PM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
"The past few days I've been in a seminar with Willie Jolley, one of the top motivational speakers in the country and a recent inductee into the Speaker's Hall of Fame, who shared the business side of motivational speaking with a few of us. It was a great experience and provided me with the kind of information I need as I begin this new part of God's journey for me. However, after I asked Willie the following question, "What would you say is the number one mistake that new speakers make as they begin their professional speaking careers?", it dawned on me that if someone asked me that question about preachers, I would know exactly how to answer that question."
How to Fix the Most Common Preaching/ Communication Problem
10/26/2008 2:19:29 PM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
"Have you ever started a message and quickly come to the conclusion, they're not with me? It's a terrible feeling, isn't it? I like to call that the, "Hey God, this one's for you!" moment. None of us likes being there. It's pure pain. So, how do we get around that?"
Wayne Shaw on "The Lord's Supper, Baptism, and the Pulpit"
10/24/2008 2:48:14 PM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
"The Lord’s Supper, baptism, and the pulpit are vital to each other. They are more than symbols, but they do have symbolic value. Baptism signals our initiation into Christ and his church. The Lord’s Supper reminds us of Christ’s death for our sins."
MEGACHURCHES: The Coach in the Pulpit
10/24/2008 2:47:16 PM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
"College sports grow in popularity and appeal each year. The players on a team come and go, so the spotlight always falls on the head coach. The life of a college coach offers a good analogy for understanding the role of a megachurch senior minister."
Dean M. Christensen on "Integrity in the Pulpit"
10/24/2008 2:46:04 PM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
Over the past several years, cheating and plagiarism have surfaced as hot topics in academia, the news media, and more recently, the church. Several high-profile cases involve pastors of large churches who resigned, or were fired or suspended for repeated instances of "borrowing" sermons from various sources without attribution.
Aaron Chambers, "Invisibility vs. Visibility"
10/24/2008 2:42:30 PM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
". . . preaching puts a man in an awkward position where he has to capture people's attention only to redirect their attention to someone else."
Alan Larue on "How Can They Hear with a Preacher?"
10/24/2008 2:40:54 PM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
"For some time I have been concerned about the future of the preaching ministry of our churches. In fact, I believe congregations with a paid ministry staff may already be facing a crisis."
David Erickson on "What Good is Preaching?
10/24/2008 2:39:12 PM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
"It is 9:30 Sunday morning. The stage is set for a solitary spokesman to assume his place behind a public pulpit. As this speaker shuffles his notes into final arrangement, the audience before him is doing some arranging of their own. One by one they begin to assume a physical posture that will allow them to tolerate the coming session. Over the years they have become quite adept at learning to look alert, while, in fact, being aloof."
Eddie Lowen on "How to Preach Like an Amateur"
10/24/2008 2:36:00 PM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
Preaching must be biblical, and might be expository. . . preaching must be personal, and might be original.
Chuck Sackett on "What’s Happening with Contemporary Preaching?"
10/24/2008 2:10:07 AM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
Christian Standard. A critique if four emerging approaches to sermon writing. "Contemporary preaching has moved us in positive directions. It has forced us to take seriously the changing interests and worldviews of our listeners. It has reminded us that the message is critical, but so is the method. Contemporary preaching has caused all thoughtful preachers to ask if they are connecting with a changing world."
Chuck Sackett on "The Elusive Illustration: Letting the Text Provide"
10/23/2008 1:00:00 AM Dr. Chuck Sackett http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
Preaching.org. "Every preacher knows the challenge of finding the right image or illustration. Most have made friends with 10,000 Illustrations for Every Occasion (at least us old guys) or preachingonline.com or preachingtoday.com (this list is nearly endless). But is there a better way? At least a way that makes those tools as potent as possible?"
Barney Wells on "Preaching, Prayer, and Conflict"
10/22/2008 2:16:55 AM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
Christian Standard. "Don’t wait until two or three weeks before a change and then rush in a barrage of sermons. Treat the topic as it comes up in the normal course of preaching through a book or series over several months. The bigger the change, the further in advance you should start preaching about the issues involved. Conflict can be prevented by making sure the entire congregation understands the biblical basis behind a change the church is making."
J. Michael Shannon on "Preaching at the Speed of Light"
10/20/2008 2:31:23 AM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
Christian Standard. "The prospect of preaching adapting to modern times does not bother me. What concerns me is the number of those, even those friendly to the Christian faith, who wonder if preaching is outdated and if it will survive."
Gary Weedman on 'Preaching?' or 'Sharing?'
10/19/2008 2:29:11 AM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
Christian Standard. ". . . it is helpful to think of these three categories of New Testament speech as concentric circles with the gospel at the core, expanding to the second circle of teaching about the gospel, expanding to the third circle of contemporary application of the teaching."
Mark Taylor on "The Problems with Original Preaching"
10/17/2008 2:28:07 AM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
Christian Standard. "After weighing what our writers this week have said about stolen sermons, I’ve decided something: Originality can be overrated. Am I the only one who feels this way?"
J. Michael Shannon on "Finding Illustration Gold Mines"
10/15/2008 2:21:48 AM http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
Christian Standard. "The way some people talk, one would think that illustrations are appendages to a sermon. A minister doesn’t write a sermon and then add illustrations. Illustrations are as much a part of the sermon as the reasoning or outline. Many ministers can testify that an illustration is frequently all people remember of a sermon."
Integrative Classroom on Preaching
10/14/2008 11:00:00 PM Kent Anderson http://www.preacherstoolbox.com/Portals/0/RssFeeds/PreachersToolboxFeatured.xml
Preaching.org. Kent Anderson has assembled 17 articles describing an integrative approach to biblical preaching. Begin with the first article and follow the links through to the end to gain an overview of Anderson's holistic approach to preaching. Includes sample sermons by Bill Hybels, Fred Craddock, Colin Smith, and R.C. Sproul.

Fast Lane Addiction
After a year of Music Fridays, I think you know I like it loud and chunky. Thus, Shannon Curfman should be no surprise. That is...if you know her.Like Joe Bonamassa, she gets precious little airplay. And that's where we come in.Check out this juicy little number from her album of the same name.Ahh, yeah.

A Trillion and Counting
After a Trillion Dollars poured into the rat hole that is TSA, it still can't buy a clue.Don't get me wrong, the vast majority of TSA agents I have met in my travels across this country genuinely believe they are making the skies safer for us. A few are just picking up a paycheck. A handful have power issues. And, a few are stealing our shit while we get wanded.But, it's the inane directives and processes coming down from the TSA mothership that gives all the well-meaning agents a black eye. Confiscating holiday snow globes, cupcakes and insulin pumps. Patting down 90-year grandmothers and 6-year old children.The newest? Deporting a couple of Irishmen at LAX after TSA reviewed Tweets from one that said he planned to "destroy America."Except "destroy" is British slang for "get drunk."As a Gizmodo UK writer said: "it's a little amazing and a lot disconcerting that the DHS mess up your holiday because it never learned its context clues."Context indeed. Thanks to my friend Josh Schamberger for the catch!

The Power of Music
It is the soundtrack of our lives. And, those that have been in my audiences when I talk about destination marketing know that I think our industry is generally missing the boat by not connecting prospective visitors to what most of us crave. A cool club with a hot talent.Whether it's a city known for being a music mecca or a community that may not have much nightlife...there is almost always someone playing somewhere every night. Yet, damned if I can find those options on most DMO websites. Which means I will most likely not choose your destination for this weekend's getaway (unless I accidentally stumble upon a club date on an artist's website...like this weekend's gig by Karla Bonoff in Green Lake). And, if I find myself IN your town...my wallet and I will probably stay in tonight. What a waste...for both of us.So...while I wait for Destination Marketers to get a clue, I gotta give props to Gary Sherwin and the Newport Beach CVB for reversing the marketing conversation from service to attraction.The Bureau is the sponsor of a new internet radio play called Rockin California. For the most part, it's a playlist of songs that make you feel like you're on the beach or cruisin the Pacific Coast Highway in a bitchin' Camaro. While there is the occassional Boston and Supertramp song to break the Cali-mood (at least for those of us that are paying attention), the vibe is great and the message is compelling:"Rockin California, Presented by VisitNewportBeach.com. Fall in Love with Newport Beach...and Listen Loud."Cool move, my friends.

Smart Save
Last week, we noted that new JC Penny CEO Ron Johnson discovered that his company had sent 590 e-mail sales announcements last year. Yeah...that means some days their subscribers received two.Radio Shack is also guilty of being slightly over zealous in their e-messages (yet nothing like Pennys)...but, when I finally said "no mas" and attempted to unsubscribe, I got the most refreshing response.They said, "too much? How 'bout just once a week?"And, with that amazing insight, they saved another subscriber.Smart.

Funky Sax
As I noted last week...I'm discovering a bunch of artists that don't get much play in America by switching from satellite to internet radio.While she's toured America, played with Prince and Dave Matthews and actually had a number one hit on the American Jazz Charts, I have a feeling that the name Candy Dulfer isn't exactly household. Or, maybe I'm just not paying attention like I used to.She and her band smoke this cover of the Average White Band's "Pick Up the Pieces"...perfect for this Music Friday.

The Power of Secret Shopping Yourself
The teaser spots have begun. And, JC Penny is about to reinvent itself.As the story goes, part of the impetus for new CEO Ron Johnson came when he subscribed to his company's consumer e-mail alerts...and was deluged with sales announcements. Sometimes two different announcements in the same day. Last year, JC Penny e-mailed 590 separate sales alerts.It didn't work, as the average shopper only bought four times last year.So JC Penny is about to radically redesign their strategy, their stores and their culture. And, it's about time somebody did in the Department Store category.It's such a simple thing to secret shop yourself...yet so few do it.Are you signed up for your e-mail, Facebook and Twitter communiques?

And, I'm Supposed to Whip This Out, Ummmm, Where?
In my mail the other day, I recieved a missive from my Governor, asking me to support him in fighting off the recall effort against him here in Wisconsin. I'm sure tens of thousands received the same letter.Included in the envelope was an official "Friends of Scott Walker" membership card. It even has my name embossed on the front (click image to enlarge) and a place for my signature on the back.However, given that over a million Wisconsinites have signed petitions for Mr. Walker's ouster, I have two questions.Where am I supposed to show this card...and what do I get when I do?Besides a fight...Just curious.

I Just Don't Understand
Allow me to set the stage. It's January...the dead of winter in the Midwest. Occupancy isn't what anyone would call acceptable. Residents pretty much stay home during the week...especially on frigid Monday nights. Thus, restaurants and bars could be excused if they elect to close on Mondays. Ain't nobody downtown.Except...there is a 300-person convention in town on this particular Monday night. And, with that background, I have a few questions.I've never run a hotel...but why would the HQ hotel restaurant and room-service be dark with a full house?I've never run a restaurant, but why would the coolest culinary spot in town (and just a block away from the HQ hotel) be dark on this particular Monday?I've never run a strip club, but why would such a nightspot (a block in the other direction) be dark on this night (and, oh yeah, the attendees at this convention skewed 80% male)?Just because it's Monday night? Really?Are we that married to our schedules that we can't see the opportunity that 300 visitors in a town bring to a bottom line? Maybe they all don't need to go to a strip club...but, ummm, they all gotta eat.Like I said, I've never run a hospitality business. But, I'm pretty damn sure I would have found a way to be open and benefit from the dollars that were burning a hole in 300 visitors' pockets.And, have a big smile on my face Tuesday morning as I made my deposit.Just a thought...

Peering into the Mind of the Traveler
There's good...and not so good in the brand new "State of the American Traveler" survey just released by our friends at Destination Analysts.33% of American says they intend to increase spending on leisure travel...but that means that 67% don't.Virtually half of all Americans say that finances are no longer a reason why they don't travel more...but that means 50% say their finances do.And, 6% hooked up with someone new on a trip this year...but that means that you probably didn't (not that that is necessarily a bad thing...unless, of course, you were going for that).Click here for the full report.

For Love of a Power Ballad
As I noted last month, the new Zeitgeist office sits in such a way that we can't score a Sirius/XM signal...so I'm listening to a lot more internet radio, as of late. And, I'm having a lot of fun discovering acts from around the world that American satellite radio, sadly, hasn't embraced.Admitting that I like the power ballad genre may put me at odds with rock elitists...but I'm so digging this duet from German rocker Udo Dirkschneider (Accept) and Doro Pesch (Warlock).Fire up those lighters for this Music Friday find.

Yep...Those Are Pigs
My friend Brent Cory, CEO of the Eagan MN CVB, e-mailed earlier today, "I’m not sure how the skies around Madison are looking but, in Eagan, we’re seeing countless pigs flying around!"And, on my flight back today from a great experience at the TACVB Winter Conference in Laredo, I can confirm...pigs EVERYWHERE.But that's to be expected when a President that has been, at times, dismissive of the American Tourism and Hospitality Industry signs an Executive Order calling for the Secretaries of Commerce and the Interior to work to develop a strategy to promote travel opportunities throughout the U.S.While some could say this is simply an attempt to court an industry that one of his primary rivals in the upcoming election also has a history of undervaluing, the news that the President has gone significantly farther than any of his predecessors in realizing the importance of the Visitor Economy can't be ignored.Congratulations to Roger Dow and the crew at the U.S. Travel Association, who have worked tirelessly to communicate the value of Tourism to our country's leaders. And, thank you, Mr. President.Now, it's up to us to step up and support this amazing initiative. Let's not blow it.

The Loss of an Icon, Mentor and Friend
John Lennon once said, "life is what happens when you're busy making other plans." Death too.I had planned to pay a long overdue visit to one of my many mentors in this industry after missing a chance to do so when a bunch of veteran Wisconsin DMO CEOs reunioned recently. And, now, I've waited too long.Bill Brault was a mentor to so many of us...and he departed terra firma yesterday for the next adventure in his incredibly blessed life. Beyond the consumate marketer, he was just as amazing at idea generation and political advocacy. He was the vision behind the Packer Hall of Fame, created one of the most unique DMO structures in the nation and spearheaded a vast improvement in Wisconsin's then pourous Room Tax law.Most importantly, he always had time to talk to newbies and always had an encouraging word when the cause appeared lost.I know better than to wait so long to tell my friends how important they've been in my life. Yet, I've done it again.Here's hoping he has WiFi in DMO Heaven. Bill, you rocked, I love you and I so hope we end up at the same destination when it's my time.RIP, my friend.

Nailed it Again
Readers of this blog know of our affection and respect for Brad Dean, one of the brightest, most driven Destination Marketing CEOs in the country, if not the world.In the past four years, he has led the effort to quintuple his budget, donated a kidney to a complete stranger and secured, not one but, three National Presidential Debates for Myrtle Beach SC. The most recent was last night...and, as per usual, it was a huge win for a destination that has seen record successes in the past few years under Brad's leadership.And, while a lot of rooms were sold to candidate entourages, media from around the world and hopeful attendees during an off-season month that can always use a shot in the arm, the real success came from the visuals during the broadcast and the consistent line, "Live from beautiful Myrtle Beach, South Carolina."And, of course, making the New York Times, Fox News and countless other sources with pictures of a massive, 525 ton Mount Rushmore-esque sand sculpture of the Republican field?Priceless.Brad and his stellar team rocked it again. Congratulations, my friends.

Transparency Isn't Always Best
Like, in the case of hiring a new CEO for your Destination Marketing Organization.And, it usually happens because government demands it. The candidate pool is revealed somewhere along the line for the sake of "transparency." Usually, a few of the finalists bow out rather than have their names revealed...and the news that they are contemplating jumping ship getting back to their current employer and industry partners. Not a good thing for anyone...and why it rarely happens in most DMO hiring scenarios.Typically, the list is kept under wraps until the final cut is made. That's not what's happening in Daytona Beach, however, as it appears they will reveal the names of between 8-10 of those who made the first cut during meetings this week that are open to the public.Which likely means that list will be shorter...or less experienced.If I was an unemployed DMO pro, I'd be loving Daytona Beach for doing me the favor of artificially culling the herd of talented competitors. If I was a resident of Daytona Beach, I'd be asking the City why they are jeopardizing a pool of quality candidates that could help turn their visitor economy around.

Packers Rock
The Green and Gold begin their quest for back-to-back Super Bowl titles this weekend. Last year, the coolest Packers song came from a couple of the guys from Garbage, masquerading as The Six Packers.This year, it has to be Madison's Lucas Cates (who looks a lot like Aaron Rogers) and Danielle Robay doing Packer Rock Anthem.Put your hands up!

Magical Mystery Tours
While lots of entrepreneurs have created "Magical Mystery Tours" of Beatles sites, wouldn't you rather experience a tour of Liverpool designed BY a Beatle?Paul McCartney has announced that he'll do just that...design a sightseeing tour of his favorite paths through the city.What a wonderful lead in for other destinations to capitalize on their favorite sons and daughters' haunts. It's one thing to mimic the route...and quite another to know you're on THE route.

The SoMeT Story
Faithfull readers of this blog know that I'm a big fan of SoMeT (the Social Media Tourism Symposium). And, I've been evangelizing about this event to just about anyone in the Destination Marketing industry that I meet.An article about the event dropped on the Tuesday before Christmas on MidwestMeetings.com. Because so many of us are so distracted on the ramp up to the Holidays, I wanted to make sure you didn't miss it...as MM Editor Serenity Banks nailed why this is THE Social Media Conference of the year.And, oh yeah...there's a picture of me in it :)

Not What They Had in Mind
Driving home from the airport last night, I wanted to check in on the progress of the National Championship Game. As I couldn't find a Madison station running the coverage, I switched to New Orleans' WWL 870.I listened to the halftime synopsis and, as the studio announcers threw it back to the stadium, they intoned, "Now, back to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome...and the Mazda Broadcast Booth."It was all I could do to not swerve into the ditch through my laughter.And, it is so not what I'm guessing Mercedes expected when they signed their naming rights agreement for the stunningly rennovated Superdome...for some serious coin (and some beads).

Missed it By That Much
That was one of the famous lines from the '60s TV Spy-Spoof "Get Smart."In my file purge over the Holidays, I came across a page I had saved from a 2001 edition of Midwest Meetings that identified what was going to be "in" and "out," according to a couple prognosticators.On the way out in 2001? Deejays, Spa Resorts, Italian Food, Comfort Food, Single-Malt Scotch and Cigar Bars.Missed it by that much.

What is the ASPHP?
10/11/2011 12:00:06 AM test
"The Association of Safe Patient Handling Professionals is a non-profit association that brings together like-minded individuals who want to share ideas, support research, and advocate for sound regulatory activity that improves and promotes a safer working environment for all caregivers. The Association also seeks to establish standards and practices for both the practitioner and the facilities where they work."

The VALUE of ASPHP Certification
10/11/2011 12:00:05 AM test
There are numerous ways an individual can benefit from becoming a Certified Safe Patient Handing Associate (CSPHA) or a Certified Safe Patient Handling Professional (CSPHP). In addition to being able to display those industry-sanctioned letters after your name, you'll also benefit in the following ways: 1) advancement in the vocational marketplace and 2) personal growth and satisfaction. By earning an ASPHP Certification, you signify to your management and peers that you are working to elevate your standing in the field.
To read more about the various benefits of ASPHP certification, go here.
If you are interested in Safe Patient Handling, MEMBERSHIP IN ASPHP is an effective way to support this movement
10/11/2011 12:00:04 AM test
The field of Safe Patient Handling is populated by many different types of individuals who are passionate about SPH and who are devoted to the advancement of both the practice and the profession. NOW is an ideal time to join the Association. Whether you are employed in Acute Care, Long Term Care, Home Care, Pre-Hospital Care, Rehabilitation, or an associated field, you'll find yourself in the company of clinicians, educators, researchers, ergonomists, and caregivers who are dedicated to preventing these needless injuries. In many ways, this is a very disparate group. In other ways, members are "one with much in common and much to share for the good of the many."
Read more about why you should consider joining here.
.
Certification: Who is it for?
10/11/2011 12:00:03 AM test
Certification isn't for everyone. It is for those
people who want to distinguish themselves and their achievements, and for those who want to enhance their capabilities, year after year
. The ASPHP is interested in so much more than just operation of equipment or general knowledge regarding how to safely move people. We are interested in how the person applies their skills and knowledge in a way that is meaningful to their institution, their colleagues and to the persons they are moving.
Go here for more information.
Talking with the ASPHP Board
10/11/2011 12:00:02 AM test
A representative of the Safe Lifting Portal recently interviewed members of the ASPHP Board about the organization and its foundation. The Board members were Kent Wilson, Colin Brigham, Catherine Gouvin, Rick Barker and Bob Williamson, each of whom was part of the core group that first discussed the possibilities of forming the Association.
