3 Cheers for Church!

Three Cheers for Church! In a bold attempt to reach the "non-discliples" in the metro Huntsville, Alabama area, pomo Pastor David Thew has punched a new notch in the Bible Belt. After becoming disgusted with 'traditional' missiology, Thew and newly converted friend and brewmaster Don Alan Hawkins joined efforts to utilize the building which houses Olde Towne Brewing Company as their worship center.

According to Thew, Hawkins "brews great beer to the glory of God". I wonder if that glory is manifested before or after the sermon? You might think I'm being silly, but I'm serious! Why can't I find a cool church like that up here in Seattle? I'm tired of latte shops. I want a Pyramid Hefe in a 32 oz pre-chilled beer stein that I can take into worship with me. And who would care if you spilled some on the floor in a brewery? Anyway, I'm in the Seattle area. Maybe Driscoll will help me out.

Object Lesson in Redemption

I was pleasantly surprised on this first day of 2007 to learn that The Discerning Reader has been pulled out of the mud and polished up. It's been a while since I've been to The Discerning Reader (ever since the "controversy" anyway), so I'm probably reporting on something that happened a long, long time ago. Anyway, if you haven't already done so, go check it out.

Bridges to Sandy Creek

Gene Bridges at Triablogue has posted an excellent historical review of the development of the doctrine of predestination amongst the "Calvinistic" and "Bezian" and "Dortian" camps. Now, if only the Anti-Scripturalists in the SBC would read it, all would be well again. Here's the link: More ABC'S for Dr. Caner

Chain Hang Low??

Who in their right mind would choose JIBBS as a name to peddle Gangsta Rap music? Answer: NO ONE. Whatever happened to cool street names like Snoop Dogg, Tupac or Eazy-E??? JIBBS is a name only a geeky white boy could come up with. So there, friend, is the equation. Add it all up and you get this: this hack plagiarized me!

A Shot of the Family

For those of you who are beginning to think I am either:
1)An overly zealous GI Joe character
or
2)a Napoleon Dynamite look-alike

then, this is for you. Here is a picture of me and my family. There is my wife, Dana, our 9 month old son, Joshua, and our 3 year old daughter, Alexie.

I post this mainly for Daniel. :)

Resolutions- #5

Resolved, never to lose one moment of time; but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can.

Resolutions #4

4. Resolved, never to do any manner of thing, whether in soul or body, less or more, but what tends to the glory of God; nor be, nor suffer it, if I can avoid it.
