woooo!

like it. a convergence of messy lives coming together to encourage and send back out into this big and soiled world!

it's a tough balance... a lot of time heretics are categorized, pigeonholed, et cetera as the trouble makers, the ill-contented... it is this stereotype that hurts us "healthy heretics" who see those outside the church as the ones who need the Christ (not the other way around). I have said before that heresy is contrary opinion to orthodox belief and this isn't a bad thing... as sometimes our orthodoxy (traditional opinions/beliefs) need to be questioned, prodded, and pushed to evolve to meet a postmodern orthopraxy (the practice of our belief).

So. I guess my overall point is this... if the renegades on your church staff are pointing toward Christ, just in a different direction than you... I would listen to them and not fire them. Just my thoughts!

Love what you guys are doin!

congrats John!

i've learned that collaborative innovation is better than hording "mine own" creative endeavor... been good to work with you and this site has been a fantastic resource.

like it. innovation and collaboration or rather collabovation.

Mr. Graham - how did you wrestle with the responsibility of discipleship of all those who came forward during your evangelistic crusades?

the courageous few overcome generations of hate

"But the main lyrical gimmick is sort of a self-conscious and hopeful interpretation of the Beatitudes, which I have an uneasy relationship with as the narrative tends to illustrate."

- David Bazan, in an article here: http://stereogum.com/the-gum-drop/song.php?tid=82...

that is cool... he did an artistic interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount... much like Joel Limpic's project "Brand New Mountain Speeches" of which I had a helping hand in, which was a communal artistic response to the sermon on the mount. (http://www.joellimpic.com)

anyway, Matt 5-7 is a lot to handle and the beatitudes can crank out some heavy shit... as you wrestle with what God wants from us.

watched it on netflix Saturday night... loved it. good recommendation. it has me thinking about time travel all day today, and how Back to the Future was scientifically inept... not to knock the trilogy.

hey Greg! congrats on the new role. Looking forward to seeing your books.

I am a rockstar because of what i do for the Kingdom... not because of who i am in the Kingdom.
