Blessed are you…
A modern telling of the B-attitudes.. 140 characters at a time:
Blessed are those who don’t have it all together.
Blessed are those who have run out of strength, ideas, will power, resolve, or energy.
Blessed are those who ache because of how severely out of whack the world is.
Blessed are those stumble, trip, and fall in [...]

A new humanity in Christ
A while back I edited down a few minutes from one of Rob Bell’s message at Mars Hill. I refer back to it from time to time and have also added it in a semi-regular rotation on OrangeNoiseRadio.
The message comes from his series on Philippians and its always a great encouragement to me to just [...]

The Gospel According to Rob Bell
God wants to put it all back together…
Be the resurrection!
A great reminder.
“If people only had your life and they were asked, “Has Jesus risen from the dead?” How would they answer?
HT to Jonathan Brink.

What is emergent? Missional
Read Part 2 :: What is emergent? Centered set
While there seem to be countless folks in the Church who are more than happy to avoid being labeled emergent, the exact opposite seems to be true for the term missional. More and more folks are rushing to use the term to define their ministries. Some have [...]

re: Tribal faith
Listening to Rob Bell share some great thoughts and ideas on Tribes (taken from Phil 3).
A great thought ::
“Sometimes when some people say ‘the gospel’ they’re really talking about tribal identity masquerading as the gospel… and Jesus is bigger than any tribe.”
“Beware of dem dawgs!”
Don’t let the tribe come between you and The Gospel [...]

Brian McLaren speaks at Mars Hill
Former pastor and author Brian McLaren spoke at Brian McLaren’s church, Mars Hill, this past week.
He spoke on the six different narratives we find ourselves trapped in from time to time.
Much of it is similar to what he writes in “Everything Must Change.”
Very good stuff.
Our Father, above us and all around us,
May your unspeakable [...]

A New Humanity
Just finished listening to Rob Bell’s message, “One Mind” focused on Phil 2:1-4.
Excellent.
I could probably write a lot about it but I may use some of it for our community group tonight so I’ll save it for now.
I edited down the ending though. It’s about a 10 minute clip and well worth the listen [...]

anti-human = anti-God
This morning at the men’s What-a-Study we talked about labeling.
We’ve all done it. Whether it’s a group of guys standing by their lockers and rating the girls that walk by… “I give that a 3.” “I give that an 8.” “I give that a 15.”
Or it’s labeling someone because of their nationality… “Well all Hispanics [...]

Understanding the Gospel
Josh sent me this via e-mail over the weekend. I’m assuming it was written or spoken by Rob Bell – but I can’t guarantee it was since I no longer subscribe to the magazine. Either way – love this… love it!
“We understand the Gospel to be how you are going to break yourself open and [...]

Sex God
My sister-in-law Jen bought me a copy of Rob Bell’s Sex God for Christmas, apparently Laurie may have given her a hint or two .
I’m loving it!
I know some people who are turned off by the title, turned off by the table of contents and turned off by the idea of Christians selling books [...]
