On June 23, 32 bloggers (and counting) are going to attempt to flesh out what missional means to them. This is far more valuable to me than one person summing up a scholarly response in an obtuse paper or book. I encourage you to join in and/or read the blogs.

Today, on this, another Earth Day, I have mixed feelings. I feel that this is just another "hallmark holiday" so to speak - a way for businesses to make money, a day giving consumers another excuse (as if we needed one) to spend money and yet another reason for people to get pissy and judgmental toward each other.

Today at Revolution we had an Ash Wednesday service (cuz there’s no one around to tell us we can’t *wink*), I thought it was really neat so I thought I’d share.

Is. 35:1-10 Ps. 146:5-10 James 5:7-10 Mt. 11:2-11 Sometimes I like to read large chunks of Scripture and then just sit back an listen to what comes.

In the discussion time, someone mentioned that Harod (and all of Jerusalem I noticed I think for the first time ever) being “disturbed” (or “troubled”) really stuck out at him. He asked the question - does the birth of Christ disturb us? I thought that [...] Related posts:
