"Paul would not…have tolerated the middle-class captivity of the church in the Western world...."

“Paul would not…have tolerated the middle-class captivity of the church in the Western world. He would have been as active in evangelizing the skinheads as undergraduates. he would have been as much at home talking of Christ in the bar or the open air as at the supper party. :: Michael Green on the amount of time Christians spend inside the four walls.”

“Whom do we remember? We remember those who lived to serve others. We are most impressed and affected not by what people gain but by what they give; not by what they conquer but by what they contribute.”

Excellence

Thu, 14 May 2009 09:33:18 -0500

Saw someone tweet this phrase this morning:

“Why do I pass on being a part of most church or leadership networks? Because I have no desire to partner with mediocrity.”

Well, its good to know he has the corner on excellence. Furthermore, I appreciate his mediocrity in not pressing others toward excellence but instead shunning them.

The irony is palpable.

“The attitude if demanding ones rights remains diametrically opposed to Christ’s teaching…On a broader level, the whole concept of relinquishing ones rights seems anathema in a culture immersed in asserting them.”

Tue, 05 May 2009 09:52:23 -0500

“The motivation of transparency is important. the culture teaches people to be candid and blunt, but this usually revolves around self-centeredness—you have a right to express your true feelings and your rage. this is transparency for the sake of shock value and personal entitlement. Instead, the Christian way to approach transparency is to realize our candidness should be motivated by a desire to have a pure heart before God and others.”

the dichotomy

Tue, 05 May 2009 09:13:40 -0500

the dichotomy is sharp, piercing
wisdom for foolishness
life to the perishing
strength to the weak
things that are not, nullifying things that are
the dichotomy is sharp, piercing
the foolish are made wise
the perishing become life
the weak become strength
hidden wisdom is revealed to the searching
Above our striving for knowledge
Above our search for greatness
Above what is seen, heard, and conceived
Your wisdom reigns

A line...finish it...

Life's hilarity

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:35:12 -0500

I seriously just watched this happen. Two guys in a guitar shop were having a conversation about the latest technology. One guy is on a stool strumming a guitar. He looks at guy number two and says “I’m not that smart man, I’m just a bass player.” …….he was strumming a guitar

Guess you had to be there.
