Wednesday, May 4th, 2005I’ve thought long and hard about the best way to blog about ANKOC, beyond the random comments for several weeks now, and I think letting McLaren speak for himself is a good place to start. So I’m going to begin with one of his softball (sarcasm alert) notions that I have to believe riled a [...]
Bittersweet
Monday, April 18th, 2005Today is bittersweet for the Vecchione clan. Nonna is being released from the hospital after surviving several life scares last week — the good news. But she returns home with a pancreatic cancer diagnosis and the textbook prognosis of 0-6 months to live. The impact of the news gripped me last Thursday. Hearing the MercyMe [...]
Why not fruit salad?
Friday, April 8th, 2005A youth ministry friend of mine has become something of a muse for me recently. He inspired this article last month, and now this post after a series of emails about the nature of partnerships. He made a great point about how difficult it is to prioritize working with groups whose missions contrast with our [...]
R.I.P. Holy Father
Tuesday, April 5th, 2005Three things have struck me about the passing of Pope John Paul II on Saturday. First, the extraordinary love Catholics and nonCatholics worldwide feel for this man. The concensus of those he touched on a personal level seems to be that he genuinely cared about them and wasn’t afraid to meet them on their terms. [...]
A journey or a destination?
Monday, April 4th, 2005Jesus invited the disciples to, “Come, follow me.” He never really said where, just spoke vaguely about the Kingdom of Heaven. God told Abraham to leave Ur and “Go,” but, again, refused to say where exactly. Moses followed a cloud by day and pillar of fire by night, but after 400 years of Egyptian slavery, [...]
He chopped her body into 12 pieces
Wednesday, March 30th, 2005Anyone else tired of the goofy ways we try to make sense of Scripture’s more outrageous stories that contradict our theology and customs? Consider Judges 19-20: But the men would not listen to him. So the man took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the [...]
Judah’s latest
Monday, March 14th, 2005Judah’s laying in my bed composing yet another original song. Here’s the chorus: “In my little heart, I know about my God … and I never forget about Him.”
Discipleship as Reality TV?
Saturday, March 5th, 2005As if throwing him on stage to preach to 10,000 people and then parading him in front of the media spotlight weren’t enough pressure for former Korn guitarist Brian Welch’s emerging faith, now he wants to “make TV history” by doing a so-called reality TV show to document his “life change.” Four months ago, Welch [...]
Too much too soon?
Tuesday, March 1st, 2005Former Korn guitarist Brian “Head” Welch quit the multi-plantinum metal band last week, 2 months after receiving Christ into his life, due to conflicts over their videos and lyrics. This weekend, he shared his testimony at a southern California church to an estimated 10,000 church goers. MTV has been all over this story for the [...]
Join the Club
Thursday, February 24th, 2005In response to an earlier post about Brian McLaren, Matt Kruse (a Boston-area church planter) and I have decided to read A New Kind of Christian together and compare notes online. Anyone else want to join our pseudo book club experience?
