Mark Driscoll on quite a few things

Thanks to Aaron Shaf for getting this up over at Mormon Coffee

Watch this, and he discusses many topics, careful though Mark is "edgy"

Liberal vs. Conservative arguments

Ironically this also seems to match up with Orthodox vs. Emergent thoughts as well. Since many Emergents line up to the left this seems to nail the point.

God chooses those who are saved

Who is responsible for the financial crisis?

I just thought that this was interesting all the lying and covering up, I know it is more political than spiritual, but I think shows some interesting behavior in our government. We all long for Christ to return to rule and reign!

Pastors who dish out junk food

This is a great post over at extremetheology.com

I speak to many people who come to me regularly on this issue. Many are in Churches they feel "stuck" in and they are drinking milk and eating jelly beans when it comes to teaching. "Theology IS IMPORTANT" and the teaching of God's Word to His people is VITAL. Please pray for those who are still in itching ear Churches.

Emergent/Post Modern Sayings

Please feel free to add your own in the comment section. I find that these sayings are very prevalent in the Emergent Groups and in Post Modern Culture.


"There is absolutely NO absolute truth" (Are you absolutely sure?)

"We will not tolerate, intolerance!" (Yeah I can tell)

"We hate it when people use the word hate" (Me too)

"You people are all Heresy Hunters" (does that make you a hunter yourself?)

"You should not judge" (Isn't this a judgment?)

"There is no right or wrong" (so how do we know this statement is right?)

"We will hold you to your own standard even though we do not accept it" (but arent you accepting it by holding someone to it?)

"We are Christians and you don't have a right to tell us who is Christian and who is not" (didn't you just tell me who was a Christian, so only you have that right?)

"There is no authority" (And who gave you the authority to make that claim?)

"We are open minded and inclusive" (Unless of course you are conservative right?)

"We are not sure about anything" (Are you sure about that?)

"We never question our own doubts" (Doubtful that you do)

"We are not arrogant to think we have the truth but we know you are
wrong" (so what are you claiming here?)

"We need to disagree agreeably" Brian MaClaren (So are you agreeing or disagreeing then?)

-Before we let principles dictate how we view something or let scripture dictate it, we should "listen" for 5 years and be quiet, then we might have the answers- a summation from MaClaren on Homosexuality (so does this mean then that we cannot know if things are right or wrong without spending a predetermined amount of time "listening", how many issues fall into this category? ridiculous!)

Voddie does not compromise

I love it!!!!

The text determines how we live not the culture!!!!

Born Alive Truth

Now Obama claimed he would have voted for the bill if it was identical to the National Bill that Hillary and so many others voted for. Guess what the last one that came through Illinois was identical. What is his excuse now? And if you claim Christianity what is your excuse now for voting for this guy?

More attacks on Christians in India

I do not think these folks are reading the Shack or being Emergent in their thinking. So much of America loves these Eastern Philosophies that we see in India, do they really know how Hindus treat Christians? I highly recommend you sponsor a Missionary in Gospel For Asia.

"India is in a scary situation," says Gospel for Asia President K.P. Yohannan. "While violence continues in Orissa, on India's east coast, anti-Christian extremists have unleashed another wave of attacks on Christians in Karnataka, a state on India's west coast......On Sunday, Hindu mobs rushed into churches and prayer centers of many different denominations in Karnataka, attacking Christians during their times of worship. The extremists then destroyed the church buildings and their properties. At least 11 churches were destroyed, including at least one led by Gospel for Asia missionaries.

Something Funny

This must be the original Christian Rock and Roll?

It is a theological mess that is for sure... but I thought it would be funny and make for some great discussion :) I think the Emergents might like it.
