I am on vacation


No work this week. Yippee! You can just call me l-a-z-y.

All the while, there is much ado about the New York Times article on Greg Boyd entitled Disowning Conservative Politics, Evangelical Pastor Rattles Flock. Scot McKnight has some good conversation going on with his post Politics and the Church. And Mike Clawson has a good post about it entitled How To Make 1000 People Leave Your Church.

Also a good post from the Desert Pastor on Rest and Trust that was a nice reminder for me for this week.

Other than that, I need to pack. Yesterday was a good day. Isaac led our worship and did a GREAT job. It was a packed house (honestly, yes, it makes a difference - not ALL the difference, but some). We had a nice lunch together afterward and a nice afternoon/evening. A good day.

Peace, friends. And if I don't see ya in awhile, don't forget to revolution(ate).

I loved that NYT article, too. Awesome article. And I agree. Christians are more and more adopting pet sins and political issues and then draping themselves in the flag.

As Christians, we should abhor all sin and adopt all issues (that both strengthen and weaken our faith)... the flag has nothing to do with it.

I love(d) this: “When the church wins the culture wars, it inevitably loses,” Mr. Boyd preached. “When it conquers the world, it becomes the world. When you put your trust in the sword, you lose the cross.”

Very cool.

You have a great blog, by the way.
