P.S. If you want to hear a good orator that adresses the current times and culture, watch Father John Corapi on EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network). Even if your not Catholic (like me) you’ll see that what he has to say has relevance to life today.

Good article, though I don’t agree with all of it. Part of the reason why there aren’t so many young people going to church is because the young people weren’t taught very well to follow the rules of christianity. Then, the rules get in the way of having “fun”. Namely, being rude to others and sleeping with whoever however much you want. the definitions of sin by most churches would include these two. Then, despite the fact that they are intentionally disobeying God all the time, they say that they love God and thats enough. I see it in my high school all the time. I hardly hear a mouth (when the teacher isn’t around) that isn’t swearing or talking about sex. Since the Hippies and the 1960’s, that’s been the culture. Obviously, that part of the culture has to change, and that part of the culture is evil, not nuetral. When you are a Christ follower and a Christian, you keep his rules, then his rules and the corresponding behavior comes to be ingrained into the culture.

[...] Here is a little history refresher (taken from The Radical Reformission by Mark Driscoll) that I like to bring up every now and then: [...]

I really enjoyed this read and the overall message it contained. Ultimately God see’s our hearts and knows well what our values, priorities, and thoughts consist of. We, on the other hand, make our judgements on others based on the exterior which is not always what it may appear to be, or for that matter, what it actually is. The Good News of the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ should penetrate all cultural differences if we are willing to penetrate into those cultural divides to proclaim it. Prejudicial perceptions can be on all sides of the political, ethnical, and cultural differences we adopt to affirm our self righteousness,or as some may call, our self esteem. However, the Christian should have the capacity of God’s love to rise above all prejudicial thought to accomplish our Great Commission to all manner of humanity. That is what reformission seems to be about as I understand it Not a bad concept is it?
Still going……and still growing. Dan.

Hey,
I really enjoy your blog! Thanks for your honest heart and truthfulness, it is refreshing to hear someone be real. Its cool to read about real people who serve Jesus.

I am a musician, and I would be honored if you would check out my music. All music on my site is free for download. Anyway, don’t want to be a pest, I just thought that I’d share.

Thanks,

I just started reading Driscoll’s new one a few days ago, and I can tell already I’m going to like it just as much.

You are right Steve–this book is awesome. I read it a couple years ago when it first came out (2004). Driscoll just published his second book titled “Confessions of a Reformission Rev.”. It’s basically the story of Mars Hill Church and his journey along that way. It’s a quick read, more of a memoir. Funny stuff–he tells you all the stuff you just don’t expect a pastor to tell you (that is, unless you go to a church like ours at Terra Nova). Favorite story::the time he farted while preaching and ended up crapping himself–he just played through the pain. Not sure if you know this steve, but there are four people at Terra Nova who used to call Mark Driscoll thier pastor while living in Seattle.

And on the beer thing–this fall Terra Nova is starting a “beer and theology club” led my non other than myself.
