Three notable articles I read this week:

Greg Atkinson – 6 markers of especially welcoming churches. In this article, Greg provides six ways every church can be more welcoming.

Ronnie Floyd – Pastor, talk to your church about America. “Pastor, stop thinking you are being political if you talk about America. Clearly understand that your role is to give biblical light to this time in America. You are not a pundit on a night-time television show or drive time radio, you are a man of God who is helping shepherd your people through the challenges we are facing together in our nation today.”

H.B. Charles Jr. –  What happened when a black and white church merged in Florida. “Gradually, over months of meetings and prayer in both churches, the idea of a merger went from laughably unlikely, to a sound business decision, to a higher calling.”
