Nazarene Blogs

Welcome to Nazarene Blogs

We are so glad that you found Nazarene Blogs. You will find that we have numerous Nazarenes blogging in our blog environment. Topics range from devotional, theological, leadership, as well as many other topics we hope you find useful, uplifting, and challenging. Please take a look below for some of the newest posts.

We believe that connection and relationship are what make many things worthwhile. Ministry leaders know from experience that one of the best ways to deal with a hard problem or to take an idea apart to see if it really works is to sit down with a group of like-minded friends and talk it out. The ability to converse, share, connect, and learn from each other is how understanding and true community takes place and is often what makes life exciting and meaningful. One challenge of the global growth of the Church of the Nazarene is our disconnectedness and the loss of relationship and expertise with others within our fellowship. Again, welcome to Nazarene Blogs. We are glad you are here.

- The Right Tools for the Mission Tool Box
  Like many men, I am a collector and user of tools. There is no substitute for the right tool as I have proven on those times when I have hammered with a shovel and shoveled with a hammer. Well beyond those “make-do” situations, the right tool ski
- Natural vs. Supernatural
  Have you ever noticed that when something happens to us, such as someone mistreats you, your first response is usually contrary to Scripture? Case in appoint: Luke 6:28 says "bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." If we are hone
- Devotional on Proverbs
  I did it God’s way Proverbs 10: God's blessing makes life rich; nothing we can do can improve on God. The greater part of the book of Proverbs is made up of wise "one-liners." Well, they’re actually "two-liners" that follow the format "This do
