Check this out to join a conversation of how to unleash your creativity to serve the world. We need to do more of this. I think our tendency is to say we are not creative and therefore we fail to see the vast potential that lies deep within by virtue of being created by a […]
I have finally found someone who, in writing, is talking about the difference between the Emerging Church and Emergent. I don’t know how many people I have tried to explain this difference to only to receive the, “you are a complete moron� stare.

You may alter the place to which you are going; but you cannot alter the place from which you have come. To the orthodox there must always be a case for revolution; for in the hearts of men God has been put under the feet of Satan. In the upper world hell once rebelled against […]
So about a month ago I happened upon Ben Witherington’s blog. Witherington is a NT scholar who seems to publish endlessly. He’s doing some really great work and so I thought you might be interested in checking out his blog.
He has also written a good book on The Da Vinci Code which is going to […]
