Monday, May 16th, 2005Is this what Jesus meant by the “kingdom of heaven”? “So successful are some evangelicals that they’re opening up branches like so many new Home Depots or Subways…. “For all their seemingly unstoppable success, evangelicals must contend with powerful forces in U.S. society. The ranks of Americans who express no religious preference have quadrupled since [...]

The Gospel according to Neo
Wednesday, May 11th, 2005Church planter Matt Kruse started a blog last month. Yesterday’s post was so “postmodern”: “We preached Jesus from a movie with guns and helicopters smashing into buildings, but everyone trusted me enough and is thinking missionally enough to go with it.” His church, Edgeworth, is also launching an innovative, web-based outreach this weekend at a [...]
Random Thought of the Day
Monday, May 9th, 2005From my friend, Pastor/DJ Kenny Mitchell of Tribe Church: “Spirit and Sound: the connection of the vertical and horizontal, where our world and God’s world become intertwined.

Let’s get viral
Tuesday, April 19th, 2005What do Hush Puppies shoes and declining crime in East New York have in common? More importantly, why should we care? According to Malcolm Gladwell in The Tipping Point, they’re both “textbook examples of epidemics in action,” and epidemics are what make “the unexpected become expected, where radical change is more than a possibility ….
