Bono and the Irresistible Revolution
I just finished reading Shane Claiborne’s book “The Irresistible Revolution – living as an ordinary radical.”
It was a great read. Inspiring and insightful and I would argue like Brandt Russo – its a must read for any and all who want to find new meaning in what it means to follow Jesus Christ.
Towards the end [...]

Been chewing on this idea and quote from Shane Claiborne’s book “The Irresistible Revolution”
Thought I’d do some quick word art (with my favorite font currently – sketch rockwell) to illustrate it.
Anyone seen this play out in their own life?

What is emergent? A generous orthodoxy
Read the introduction: What is emergent?
“I offer this book with the heartiest sentiments to all the jolly people who hate what I write, and regard it (very justly, for all I know), as a piece of poor clowning or a single tiresome joke.” – G.K. Chesterson (Orthodoxy (Moody Classics))
I came into the emergent conversation probably [...]

Tuesday Briefs
highlight(s) of the week ::
We completed the Tour of Dallas Saturday, riding 20 miles in roughly an hour and a half.
Laurie impressed me throughout the race. She smoked me everytime we went down hill and was often several lengths ahead of me as she weaved in and out of the other riders.
Also, turns out she [...]

44/365 a revolution

a revolution
“‘What a strange way to start a revolution… and a strange way to finish a world tour.’ We worship the seed that died. The revolution will not be televised. It will not be brought to you by Fox News with commercial interruptions… It will not be sandwiched between ads [...]

The youth of a nation
Rene Marshall shared a great reflection on the recent violence in Jos, Nigeria and the youth that were involved.
Isaiah – a youth being cared for by ECWA that I met while in Jos
“The spiritual decision I made this year in camp was not to steal, no fighting, and no lying. May God give me understanding [...]

Shane Claiborne on Buy Nothing Day & Black Friday
Shane Claiborne posted a guest blog entry on the Sojourner blog today and recapped his thoughts on Black Friday and Buy Nothing Day. Loved this story ::
I love the story of one pastor who got fed up with all the decorations and clutter. He began to see that we are in danger of losing the [...]

Crazy times
I gave in and joined a couple discussion on Facebook over the weekend about faith and politics.
Several folks whom I consider good friends (and still do) made comments that basically said if you vote for any candidate that supports abortion, you need to really question your salvation and faith.
That really bothers me. But I [...]

How would Jesus vote?
This book arrived a little late for me to read (as I had hoped to) before the Oct 27th review deadline.
But it’s still on my stack to read ASAP. I’m wondering if anyone out there has read it and what your thoughts are. I’m still digging Shane Claiborne and Chris Haw’s comment that its [...]

Tim and/or Rebecca (probably the former ) share this on their family blog today. I think its a fitting prayer for me right now.
The prayer comes from John Piper’s book Taste and See
O Lord, by the truth of your Word, and the power of your Spirit and the ministry of your body, build us [...]
