Praise the LORD!!! Hello my brother, co-laborer in Christ, my Pastor, and friend! I love you and thank you for ALL the help you are in so many ways to me personally and to all others.
I am praying for you both day and night. I am excited to hear of your time in God’s presence, how He, was waiting for you.
In His sufficient grace,
Mark

Hello “world”?!?!? This sounds very worldly to me. I’m telling Ken Silva… the Discernmentalist Mafia should be arriving shortly.

Definitely looking forward to what you’ll do with this site, and I’m making sure to update my blogroll.

Also just want you to know how helpful your writing is for my own journey, so thank you.

By the way, I think you including links to both Driscoll and Borg in your blogroll might make the internets explode.

Manifesto

Our central lie is in the discrepancy between the language of worship and the actions of worship. We confess “Jesus is Lord” but only submit to the part of Christ’s authority that fits our grand personal designs, doesn’t cause pain, doesn’t disrupt the American dream, doesn’t draw us across ethnic and racial divisions, doesn’t add the pressure of too much guilt, doesn’t mean forgiving as we have been forgiven, doesn’t ask for more than a check to show compassion. We “sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs” expressing our desire to know Jesus, but the Jesus we want to know is the sanitized Jesus that looks a lot like us when we think we are at our best. Despite God’s Word to the contrary, we think we can say that we love God and yet hate our neighbor, neglect the widow, forget the orphan, fail to visit the prisoner, ignore the oppressed. Its the sign of disordered love. When we do this, our worship becomes a lie to God. -Mark Labberton
