Ch. 8 of "a.k.a. Lost" by Jim Henderson is 'Out of Religion and Into Reality.' He says, "People don't need a better religion; they need a better reality."
Also (p.84): "Are we the defenders of God's reputation, or are we the proclaimers of his love?" While on earth, Jesus didn't bother correcting his critics... so why should we. He asks, "Who has the greatest influence with [the missing]... those wanting to correct or those trying to connect?"
From ch. 7 - he talked about SEINFELD EVANGELISM. Basically, we make a big deal out of what some people think of as nothing. We count all the small, ordinary, and even mundane encounters in life. We look for Jesus in all the ordinariness the way Seinfeld looked for humor. I like that. I need to "do" more ordinary. I need to celebrate it more.
