Contrary to what some current marketing  and church communication companies and blogs would have you think with their snappy, snarky articles and catchy images and advice, to create communications that have eternal value is not easy. It takes work; it takes prayer. It takes time; it takes discernment.

Fortunately, help is available if you pursue it.

Proverbs gives us a pattern of the work involved when seeking God's ways of doing things in our lives including our church communications work. Consider the passage below. I have added the emphasis to works that [Read more...]
