I wanna be this dude! The scooter is my color, btw ;)

the whole worship leader post... vnecks! The metro post is my fave and I am a worship leader

Good stuff, except for Toby Keith being quoted.

The thing that would make it be a "group" is only who is inviting the people--not necessarily programs or programming. FACT... 1/4 will come to church (small group, worship, meeting, etc) regardless of their background. Its all about the people, not the tools. Internet Church really is not a church any more than saying a physical building is a church.

If your internet community was a group watching, you would think differently. With an online prayer experience I helped contribute to with Tony Steward of Life Church it became apparent that people were not just one-to-one screen to person ratio. There were whole families, dorm room lounges and other settings that kept pace with the whole deal.

What I think is most effective is a smaller group, rather than individualistic, internet strategy. I may help launch something like this so my theory (as of today) is to not do as things are done. The reality is, that really good Youtube clip is something my whole family gathers around my laptop for. This can be applied to internet church. Plus, it does not have to be a rebroadcast of life, but an actual interactive experience that way. We will see.

Very nice. I love that place.

Legalism=us putting rules that are not in the Bible that are lower than God's law which we can keep and feel pretty good about ourselves or make others feel not so good.

So, I would not say you are being legalistic unless you say I am disobeying God by calling something awesome like a fish taco that just is the best. Its when we set up rules we like to keep that might be great for us but really are matters of personal conscience and could change depending on culture. Language is cultural. To one person offense another the opposite can come from the same words.

So, your point is making something special. I like that. Its just not a black and white deal.

Awesome post brutha! ;)

I think language is cultural, so I am not as legalistic about that. But to answer your question, I believe the name Jesus should be used carefully. I often hear people jest. Hmm.
