Resolutions for Preachers
Redacted from WorkingPreacher.org ————— “Resolution” is a word of many meanings that range from descriptions of certain chemical processes to the satisfying sense of closure one feels at the end of a chordal progression in Bach. January has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to what lies [...]
A Good Roar
In Leading from the Lion’s Den: Leadership Principles from Every Book of the Bible, Tom R. Harper says that some example components of a good leader as exemplified in the Bible are: COMPASSION – literally, a feeling with and for others CONTENTMENT - To be free from care because of satisfaction with what is already one’s own [...]
Why I Want to be Reverend Camden
“7th Heaven has all the ingredients of a show I should hate. Sappy storylines. Unrealistically good characters. The equation of religion with morality. And yet…there’s something unhateable about it. The characters may be good, but they are flawed. The stories may have pat endings, but they are not quite trite” says Judge Diane Wild. I [...]
Play me a song Mr. Pianoman
“So what is your vision for the future of the music ministry?” I looked up from my latte just in time to make eye contact. Too soon. He caught the glimmer in my eye and the slight smirk that had just betrayed my heretofore stoic facade. I’d been asked this question before… and he knew [...]
The End of Etiquette?
No matter which side of the political fence you are on, your opponent deserves respect and civility. I’ve been amazed in both of this season’s presidential debates at the lack of good manners on the democratic side of the podium. We first heard Senator Obama do so several times during his exchange with Senator McCain. [...]

In five hundred twenty-five thousand Six hundred minutes How do you measure A year in the life? A year ago we began planning and working towards a new online presence for [...]
Here's to you, Mr. Robertson
Jesus loves you more than you could know. Oh. Oh. Oh. Dr. E.G. Robertson has been a part of my life since before I had life. He was Pastor of my home church (Connersville Baptist Temple) the year I was born. In fact, he had officiated my parents wedding five years earlier. Though God’s plan [...]

I dislike being told that I am wrong. Doesn’t everyone?! It’s an ego problem I fight almost daily. And even though I know that I learn from my mistakes, I much prefer to learn the easy way… by doing things right the first time. And as much as I would somtimes like to think so, I’m [...]

My mom used to have a favorite saying for people who were headed down the wrong path in life. She would shake her head and say, “He’s out of control.” Proverbs 3:5&6 tells us how to stay on the straight and narrow, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your [...]

Christians today are obsessed with knowing God’s will. I own several books on the subject and at one point in my life was completely obsessed with what God’s will was for me. In fact, I was more concerned with finding the elusive holy grail of God’s will than I was concerned with God Himself. And [...]

Why doesn’t God just show me what the future holds? I’ve asked that question hundreds of times. Or maybe you’ve asked why God only gives you a lamp for your feet when a floodlight would be more helpful. The answer is simple: He wants you and I to trust Him. Proverbs 3:5 tells you to [...]

Ten years from now when you look back on your college days at Cedarville, what will you remember? Maybe it’s the chapel services, or that time spent with that special someone. When I look back on my college years one of the experiences that will stick out in my mind will be the late-night conversations [...]

Being fifty-one days from graduation and STILL not knowing what I want to do with my life is, to say the least, a bit scary. At times it is difficult to trust that God is still in control and working in my life. Do you have a problem with trusting you future to God or [...]

All student workers on campus received their monthly paycheck last week. If yours was like mine, it was pretty small even though you had put in a lot of time and effort into the job. And if you were like me, you probably cashed it quickly because you really needed the money. But have you [...]

When you look around Cedarville you can’t help but notice the blessing of God. We as students have the opportunity to attend a top-notch school. We have nice clothes, expensive cars, money in our wallet, and a great future ahead. Compared to many people we are very rich… and it does feel good to be [...]

Guys, this question’s for you: What is the secret to staying interested in College? The answer, of course, is girls. And every guy knows it. But what every guy doesn’t know is how to find the right one. We guys all trust that Proverbs 18:22 is right when it says that “He who finds a [...]

What is wisdom? Solomon had it… but do you? To be wise doesn’t mean having high grades or a complete set of “4.0 Mugs.” To be wise is to make right choices at the right time. So how do we obtain this godly wisdom that will help us make the right choices in life? Proverbs [...]

Sin. What an aweful word. Sin. What a huge problem for all of us. We’ve all had Christian Life [class] and we know more about sin than many people will ever know. And yet we still deal with it. Daily. There are many of us who even struggle with victory over the same sin. What’s [...]

Ten years ago today [April 3, 1990], Student Radio began at Cedarville. First, as AM530 WSRN and then on the FM dial as U99.5. While there have been many high points, and a few low ones, it continues to be our privilege to serve you every day through original programming. Programming that we hope ministers [...]

I once had a roommate ask why Cedarville cared what music he listened to or what posters he hung on the wall. Maybe you’ve wondered the same thing, or something different… like, why do we have to put up with Border Manager [an internet access/restriction manager]. The real question, though, is this: Does it really [...]

When you leave Cedarville, you’ll take many things with you… your diploma, your memories, your debt, and your friends. One of God’s greatest gifts to graduates are those people He placed in your life along the road. Your friends. But at a place like Cedarville it might be difficult to figure out who your real [...]

What fills up your day? Probably a mix of homework, chapel, classes, dating, meetings, projects, and hopefully a bit of time for sleep. If you’re like most people at Cedarville you are always busy doing something. For most of us, our days are so packed with things to do that we have no time left [...]

Where do you go when you have a problem? If it’s a relationship problem, you probably go to a close friend. If you have a financial problem, you probably do what I do and call Mom and Dad. If it’s a roommate problem, the RA would probably be the first person on your list. Who [...]

Are you feeling a little low today? I’ve experienced some really exciting things while here at Cedarville but I’ve also experienced some of the lowest points of my life. Maybe your break wasn’t long enough and you’re already worn out. Perhaps you’re already behind in classes. Or is it a family problem that consumes your [...]
