I'm An Idiot! I hope this helps.


Ok...so I have learned the secret. Do you want a lot of hits on your blog and to get a lot of emails? Post a scandal. WOW!!! I never knew how many non-posting readers I had until now. Thanks for the emails, which far outnumbered the posts.
For the record it really never ocurred to me how short the skirt was. I am truly sorry about that. AND HOW!!!
I praise God for the cross of Christ, and while it is an offense (Gal 5:10), it is the way to life for me. Hiperbole is not always understood, especially in this format. So if my remark offended you, I pray that you will find it in your heart to forgive me. I can be passionate, I can be misunderstood and I can be wrong. I'm certain in this instance I was all three.
The one definitive lesson I have learned from all of this is: I'm out of the church sign designing business.

I never noticed the short skirt either...however, it seems that your "peeps" have gone from one end of the spectrum (modern) to the other end (cooking over the fire and riding wagons to church). LOL.

Well I didn't mind the short skirt as much as I do the polygamist group.

Hey Buddy...I was perusing the Common Saints Band website and realized something...(which has nothing to do with this post)

I came in and swept you all off of your feet when your present keyboard player "left you high and dry" (LOL) and I don't even get an "honorable mention" as part of the group on the website???!?!?!?!?? What am I, chopped liver???? I suppose I see how it is... :)

Kari,

We have all been so "awestruck" that our jaws are just still on the floor, since that glorious moment when you rushed in to save us from our predicament. I guess that I have been in such a state of "awe" that I haven't even thought of the website. ;)

I hope you know how much we love you and are so glad you are a part. The site needs some major updating! Its hard to keep it all going. That's why I keep telling Cherie that I need a butler.

Well, I love you guys too and just thought I would give you a hard time. I really don't care that my name isn't listed (and it never needs to be listed), and I absolutely loved filling in for Julie and will be glad to do it again anytime!!

Sweeping Under the Doormat...

Image
I was reading tonight some material and came across the story of a young woman who was attempting to join Spurgeon's church in London one day, and she was asked, "What makes you think you have become a Christian?" Not understanding all the Bible doctrines of conversion and regeneration, she simply responded, "Because now I sweep under the doormat!" I really like that answer. The walk we are called to is not about the appearance that we can put on, as if by any stretch you or I could do anything to impress God. So who do we put those famous Sunday appearances on for that we hold to so tightly ? Why do you insists on wearing that suit and tie on Sunday? Who are you hoping is going to be "scoping" that new Easter dress and hat you just purchased? Does God marvel at those things? Is he impressed? I talked with another man this weekend, who told me he couldn't go to church this past Sunday because his only pair of jeans have holes in them and they are...

Into the Mystic

Image
I always liked the Van Morrison song, "Into the mystic", but gotta admit, I don't understand what in the world it is about. Aside from that, when I hear the word "mystic" or more directly "mysticism", it conjures up in my brain images of beaded, peace sign tatooed, nature fetished hippie types, hugging trees for some undefined type of "spiritual experience". Pretty weird, huh? I really need to work on these stereotypes I have floating around in my head. As I have been reading more and more on the missional vs. emergent thing, this whole concept of "mysticism" keeps popping up. What I can't seem to get my brain around is if the term has been adulterated in practice within the emergent movement to be more reflective of my bad stereotype or is it really about making doctrine secondary to feelings? I am not making a statement, it is really the question I have, since there appears to be such disparity between the different congregati...

Bringing others to Worship

You know our desire should be to bring others to worship in more than a metaphorical sense. I’m talking literally . It is like pulling teeth to convince someone of their need to overcome their fear and begin witnessing...but how easy is it to just simply invite someone to church? I had a great idea this morning. How would it be if in our affluent nation, every Christian who drives, would with God’s help purchase a 15 passenger van and submit himself/herself in accountability to others (who also have their 15 passenger vans) to fill them up with people that they know who are unchurched, in order to bring them to worship. Let’s bring it down a notch, what if every person in your church with a drivers license, did this? Every chauffeur would be exposing people to the Gospel, building community, and using their time and resources every week in an active ministry. They would be making disciples of those who routinely ride with them by encouraging them to purchase their own van and to do the...
