Radical Reformission – Chapter 2

Launching into tonight’s review of Radical Reformission, I’ve got some classic U2 in the background with The Joshua Tree and October. I apologize for the delay on getting chapter 2 out, but I took a part-time job at Fidelity Investments and it is taking up my normal blogging time. I’m not going to [...]

Workin’ for the Man

In the morning, I go back to work. That’s right. I have a part-time job to supplement our income from the church. It was a difficult decision to make, and it is one that not everyone will agree with. Some people would say we’re not “acting in faith” and others would say [...]

Radical Reformission – Chapter 1

As Driscoll pointed out in the introduction, reformission is about presenting the message of Jesus Christ in a culture. It is not enough for churches to focus on loving God and loving each other. We must love the people we reach so much that we are willing to consider the differences between our [...]

The Radical Reformission - Introduction

One of the members of our church bought me the book The Radical Reformission: Reaching Out without Selling Out by Mark Driscoll. I have wanted to read this book since finishing Driscoll’s second book Confessions of a Reformission Rev. As I am reading through the book, I will be posting some thoughts here [...]

Let Me Get This Straight…

I happened upon this video while surfing the internet for a KJV-only guy who argued that because other translations change “he that pisseth against the wall” to something else that the translators had a feminist agenda.
The speaker demonstrates tremendous ignorance about the reasons you use a translation of Scriptures. I have tremendous respect for [...]

Holy YIKES!

I nabbed this from my buddy Larry’s blog.  This is INSANE!  This guy was working as a cell phone salesman!  He should be singing with Andrea Bocelli or something!  Absolutely AMAZING!

Why I Prefer Bach and the Beatles

I’ve never been a big fan of prom songs for Jesus. I have tried to like a lot of the mainstream Christian contemporary music, and there are a few artists out there who really strike me as incredible – Keith Green, Michael Card, Rich Mullins. For the most part, however, the Christian music [...]

Walls of Protection

“And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,” declares the Lord, “and I will be its glory within.”
|| Zechariah 2:5 ||NLT ||
We talk about breaking down walls between races, between sexes and so on. We don’t talk enough about building walls to protect our brothers and sisters, walls to [...]

Facing the Powers

What follows is a raw documentation of the confrontation between Christ and what I believe to be demonic powers. There are many even in the Church who would say that there is no such thing as demonic power and control anymore (if they acknowledge its existence at all). I think this is a [...]
