Why do you think the business world plugged into the power of evangelism just as the church seems to have lost the vision?

I think, at it’s heart, the Christian message of the good news of hope, is a revolutionary, inspiring and joyous message. In some places and in some people that motivates them to [...]

Is nothing sacred?
Really…ok…nope – but everything is sacred. The question comes by looking at the Nike symbol as half of the fish symbol, which I figure is pretty fine with me. I think we haven’t even taken good care of our symbols. The fish was a subversive symbol when it began and [...]

Sweet 2

this might be a little too much, too many questions that i can”t hardley read anything…and its taking a long time writing this with my Q.2. think about the historical figure you met for coffee. what did you talk about?
I would probably ask Yaconelli how he learned grace. i know about his stories from [...]

1980

In 1980 my brother was born. I think he was born in Deep River. But maybe that was my sister. This is all very blurry. Once again, this “30″ series will likely end better than it is beginning.

Sweet 1

I am reading The Gospel According to Starbucks and it has questions throughout it called, “Brewed for Thought” and I am going to make it a habit to stop reading the book and blog my answers to the questions. This will be frustrating, but I think it will make the whole book better for me.

I [...]

1979

In 1979 I was two. It was another year of the same although I think we moved to Toronto this year. My dad was in the recording industry (as an electrician for a factory that made records) and i did the basic things that two year olds do. My parents definitely hit [...]

1978

In 1978 I turned one. I probably moved and I probably did a lot of the same stuff as when I was zero in 1977. It was a good year.
Roman Polankshi left, Ted Bundy was arrested and Charlie Chaplin’s remains were stolen. Pete Rose got his 3000th hit and the world cup [...]

1977

I was born in 1977, just a few months before Elvis died. In 1977 the death penalty was reintroduced in the US, the draft dodgers from the Vietnam war were pardoned, the Toccoa Falls dam burst and Pele retired. Three’s Company premiered and the Toronto Blue Jays began to play baseball and Star [...]

30 days to 30

As a bit of a reflective exercise I am going to post 30 posts on the 30 days leading up to birthday number 30. It won’t be every day because I am leading a retreat in the middle of this, but I will do all the years – 1977-2007! It might be 31 [...]

Kimball, They like Jesus but not the Church

Now I know what you are thinking, and, no, this is not a book about pastors. It is actually a book about Kimball’s findings from people who are outside of the church and how they feel about Jesus and how they feel about the church.
Kimball is really on the ball and this should encourage pastors [...]
