Growing up with MTV will resume next Friday.
In the meantime, I need your insight, advice and input. I have been working on our church website and would love some feedback.

I'm down with the Missional scene. I really am. We own candles. We have friends on our street.
I have the cover art for "The Shaping of Things To Come" as a tattoo on my right shoulder-blade.
Heck, I've been emergent since November. I have as much missional ...

(I know commonly held opinion is that I should give The Eagles' "Hotel California" 5 stars. But I just can't. I'm being generous giving that level of pompous fluff 4 stars. But I digress.)
You may notice on my sidebar that I have been reading the book "Pagan ...

To show the shift ...

Today is my first day in the office marking the true beginning of my work as minister for the Agape Church of Christ.

I'm excessively hard on preachers. I nit-pick and can be extremely unkind in my analysis of others. Volunteer preachers, not so much. But paid guys I can be merciless.
