DISQUS

The solution is starting to come to the surface and that is corporate sponsorship/underwriting of conferences.

Eliminating the cost to attendees solves the low attendance issue.

as far as the stream of data coming out of them...this just needs to be embraced across the board.

great link. I'm a fan already

I'm a church planter. A 'tent making' church planter at that. Which means not only do I have the work load of being a pastor, but I also am part of the work force and still the ends don't meet.

Doesn't leave any coin for catalyst, which I would love to check out.

I think you would have to agree that he is at least a little right. It has been heavy on my mind in the last couple years.

The reality is that the church in America has chosen some battles to fight that were probably the wrong ones to get into and missed the point to begin with.

Two more tactics they use to drive you out:

_pounding music :: "DO YOU HAVE THESE IN A 34!!!!!!" "WHAT!"

_Extremely bad lighting :: "Is that navy or black?"

just to keep the conversation going.

The vast bulk of time that Christians have existed has been without a Bible to open and read.

Don't get me wrong, the Bible we have today is and incredible tool and resource that provides a concise and easy place to look at the person of Christ/God, and I have yet to see any evidence show any errancy in the truths therein.

I must however make it a point to say that the truths contained in the Bible are much more important than the Bible itself.

I would also add, that I need not make a case to that point since the very truths survived 1500 plus years before finally being given to the common man in the form of the Bible we now have.

I recommend a book 'The Jesus Sutras'. The book tracks the Gospel as it passes through China well before any Bible. The story and truths about Christ are passed orally and they stay in tact.

I believe the conversation that God began will always carry on. Complete, and without error, Bible or not. I cannot reduce the truth and power of Almighty God to paper and ink. But I am super thankful for the miracle that is the Bible

@austin :: so you're saying that one cannot become a Christian without knowledge of the Bible?

Rom. 1:19-20?

i love me some eschatology, and it does define your ministry in a HUGE way. Probably the biggest reason American theology is so safe.

so true.

so neglected.

i have watched that video like 100 times already.

Will this allow my ridiculously awesome comments to remain perched at the top of the discussion where they can be reviewed by the tattered pastry faithful instead of being passed over, as reader interest wanes from shuffling through countless rants and a few fart jokes?

'cuz that would be rad.

I take pictures of my receipts because otherwise i just loose them and it's hard to get reimbursed. now i just snap it, tag and throw away the paper. BOOYAH!
