Musings From Steet Fair

 Street fair time has come and gone again. Just like every year I spent money I didn’t have and ate a bunch of junk that I didn’t need. There was one thing different about this year. I didn’t play the game I have played every year.  You know the game. You put a cork on [...]

A Postmodern Anthem

I ran across this song browsing some Jack Johnson Lyrics. I think this song sums up a Postmodern worldview. I think that one of the biggest challenges facing the Church today is the question of how to convey Truth to an emerging generation that believes we can’t truly know anything.
Never Know 
I heard this old story before

Who Would Jesus Bomb?

I first heard this back when the U.S.A. first invaded Iraq. At that time I was an Anarchist, and pretty much anti-everything. The following lyrics are from Who Would Jesus Bomb by David Rovics. I want to say that I am no longer a fan of David’s music, but this is a great song
I’ve seen you in [...]

Church Squared-A Move in the Right Direction

I checked out the Church Growth & Evangelism section of the Wesleyan Church website, and I found this Article. I was pleasantly surprised by what I found. There is a big movement within the denomination to a more missional outlook. I’m sure change will come slow (I hope not to slow), But atleast its a move [...]

Am I against Chuch Programs?

Another Good blog surfing find. This is a great article on church programs I found at The Assembling of the Church Blog
Am I against church programs?
Many times, I am asked, “Are you against church programs?” Some people, knowing that I do not stress church programs, also make a jump in logic and ask, “Why are [...]

Seven- An Interesting Community

I was blog surfing and found this Interesting community of believers in San Francisco. They have committed themselves to 7 vows over the next year. 
Creativity, Prayer, Community, Service, Obedience, Simplicity and Love.
It seems that alot of small groups of believers like this are popping up everywhere. It reminds me of the parable about the Kingdom [...]

Where Does He Go?

 A boy grows up in a small village in Saudi Arabia. He has never really heard of Jesus, other than that he was a prophet. He has never heard the Gospel, the only stories he has heard of Christianity are stories of the Crusades. From an early age he memorizes the Koran, Prays to Allah [...]
