I bought a christian t-shirt

Our local Family Christian Bookstore had a big sale yesterday, and they had a big pile of t-shirts for 50-75% off. I happened to spot this one and it caught my eye. As you can see, the front lists many (all?) of the names of God, which just makes me happy.
But then I flipped it [...]

What do you think?

Brace yourself.

For the first time in a while, I’m making some time to write something somewhat meaningful here.

It’s strange. Although these past couple of weeks have had me busier than ever (lots of driving back and forth between Greensboro and Creedmoor and working really hard to get up to speed at work, plus [...]

What do you think?

This is from a couple days ago over at ‘ASBO Jesus‘. What do you think?

What’s your brand?

I came across this today.
I like the idea of it, because we often wear our faith as a brand — as if we’re in the ‘christian fish ‘ club, and that makes us better than people in the ‘Buddha’ club or the ‘Rainbow’ club or the ‘Liberal’ club…
And what’s heartbreaking about that is that many [...]

This will get you thinking…

Admittedly, most of us wouldn’t be this honest. But if we were…. well…
I believe the guy on the right represents a LOT of the people we encounter every day.

“Stuff Christians Like” – Frisbee

I don’t know if you’ve made it over to “Stuff Christians Like“, but some of it is really good satire about ‘christian’ stereotypes. Here’s a snippet from a post called “Frisbee – God’s Favorite Sport“:
I can’t prove this, but I think Christians might be better at frisbee than non-Christians. I know that doesn’t sound very [...]

New Stuff From Louie

Steph already mentioned today that when I go to a christian bookstore, I can be a little like a kid in a candy store. That isn’t to say that I like everything they sell in those places. In fact, I’d say at least 50% of it outright unbiblical… but even the unbiblical stuff engages me [...]

“Jesus Made Me Puke”

I came across an article by this title this week (I found it here). If the title doesn’t get you, it will once you learn that the article is in Rolling Stone magazine.
When I first clicked the link, I realized that the article is 8 pages long, so I’ve been waiting for a chance to [...]

Speaking of Worship

I had the great privilege of teaching our main service this Sunday at church, and it didn’t take me two seconds to know that I wanted to teach on the topic of worship.
As luck (or providence) would have it, the mic battery went out half way through, so the sound guys or going to see [...]

Rob Bell’s New Book

I think my feelings about Rob Bell are pretty similar to my feelings about rap music when I was in high school… I liked the style and the way it was trendy, and it stirred up emotions in me, and told stories about our world and what is bad and what needs to change… [...]
