I heard Jim Cymbala voice very similar ideas last Tuesday at his church. Labels divide and separate. I want to focus on the things that unite us, draw our hearts together, and put us in the same family. Thanks for the great posts. I look forward to reading what you write every day.
As one of the pastors in State College, PA, I'm in a rural town with a major university in my backyard (Penn State). We're praying, asking God to transform our town and the university. I'd love to get a copy of the book. SInce I'm comment #130-something, I may have to go purchase the book, but it sounds like it'll be worth the investment!
I worry about televangelists, knowing that they will be judged more severely due to their over-use (dare I say "abuse") of aerosol hair care products, which ultimately resulted in the hole in the ozone layer, leading to global warming, which melted the polar ice caps, leading to world-wide tsunami(s) and flooding. Think about all the musty, moldy boxes of vinyl records, used books, and out-of-style clothing that will have to be sorted through after the basement is rocked by water, and all because of the televangelists.
My first concert was either Jerome Olds (he's the father of 3/5 of Family Force Five) at 6 Flags in Hotlanta.. Or possibly Newsong, just after they made the change from Southern Gospel to CCM--they used to come to our church every year.
The last concert was WinterJam, less than 24 hours off a flight back from China. We took our just-adopted daughter (and the rest of the fam), and she had no idea what was going on.
