Graydon's Blog - A new beginning
Thu, 02/07/2013 - 09:01 — GraydonI envision that this blog will become something of a patchwork. I want to write, from time to time, on what excites me, what I see God doing, what I am struggling with or thinking about, some reflections on the journey of life and what is happening in my 'ministry world' - mainly GRN but other things as well. The extent to which this vision is fulfilled.
But along the way I would love to hear from you. You may agree or disagree with what I write or just reflect or respond further.
What's The Best Way To Spread The Good News?
Tue, 01/29/2013 - 22:10 — Richard RoperNot only did Jesus teach to an audience orally but he used the oldest known form of communication - Story telling
And despite having the ability to at the very least arranged, to have things written down, he chose not to.
Even as the Bible began to mature and be written down oral communication still remained the primary source of passing on His story. Because even when it was written down it was read to a congregation.

Is Not Rejoice in Fact a Sin?
Tue, 11/15/2011 - 06:43 — Richard RoperJoy Ridderhoff, the founder of GRN, has a few of daily devotions on rejoicing, one called Count It All Joy! one called With Joy and Rejoicing! and another Are You Rejoicing? that are published on the GRN Website.
I found them by mistake one time as I was wandering through the site researching some information for one of my presentations for GRN.
She argued that Not to rejoice is in fact a Sin.
I struggled with this concept.

What Your Story?
Mon, 10/10/2011 - 05:29 — Richard RoperStory is the most powerful means of communication there is.
Before there were movies.
Before there were books.
Before there even was writing, there was story.
If you are talking to someone about the Lord and they want to tell you just how smart they are by proving that what you are saying is not "Scientific" instead of trying to outwit them which will only alienate them, especially if you win, tell them your story. It's your story it can't be beat.
