Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of weeks. I've been re-thinking some things which have taken a toll on my brain. Stuff that's a little spiritual, a lot financial, and a confusing combination of the two. Something this week sparked my spiritual side.
Mark Driscoll is the lead pastor of Mars Hills Church in Seattle. He has become a lightening rod for controversy within the church and, at the same time, is deeply committed to the Bible and what it says about how we should live. I disagree with some of the things he teaches but I'll save that for another blog. Mark appeared on Nightline last week and talked about the state of religion saying that if people would have made up a religion and voted on it, they would have come up with something like a "Salvation by eating chicken wings and napping". At least he said that is what he would have voted for. It was a great interview. Here is a Readers Digest condensed version.
I can't believe it's been two months since my last post. I don't have a good

Thought provoking to say the least, and pretty controversial. Thanks for sharing? ;)
Me too, I only sometimes like Driscoll's arguments. But, that's also true with my own theology--sometimes I like it, and at other times I don't. That's the process, that's the journey. The interesting thing in this video, however, if you watch all 10 segments, are the views represented in those of the counter-point. Driscoll has a way of coming across that's much more genuine. And, of course, that's how you do good TV. In the television forum it is far better to look genuine than it is to be genuine. The thing to do is to close your eyes and to listen to the video--anyhow, it works for me.
