I actually Googled to check. But despite my initial disbelief, it’s not.
“Guitar Praise lets you play along with your favourite Christian bands. Add a second guitar and rock out with a friend. Shred the riffs, thump the bass and blast that solid Christian rock.”
Here’s the link, just in case you want [...]

This is scary. Sad. Hilarious. Weird. I don’t know.
WARNING: Put down the drink before watching this video. Your keyboard will thank you.
I love the leaps of logic here: “So just like Moses, as a sign of honour, as a sign that you are removing the things that separate you from the [...]

I’m close enough to the bottom of my Google Reader that I can finally draft this post. That is an accomplishment in itself seeing that a couple of weeks ago my reader ominously proclaimed 1000+ items.
So here goes:
Glenn Hager tackles the difficult topic of addressing his problems with the institutional church.
Barb contextualises good news to [...]

…that I thought were worth a mention.
As you’ve probably already heard, Todd Bentley (he of Lakeland Revival/Florida Outpouring fame) has bitten the dust. Big time, and in an extremely spectacular but sad fashion. There are enough people who have weighed in with their opinions, so all I will say is this:
The whole thing saddens me. Yes, [...]

Sonja at Calacirian has been making mosaics, and it looked like fun!
Here’s how it’s done:
———
a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
b. Using only the first page, pick an image.
c. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fd’s mosaic maker.
The questions:
1. What is your first name?
2. [...]

Some people have been Wordling this week.
I’m probably horribly behind, but I’d never discovered Wordle before. I like!
Since I felt compelled to play, here is my effort, based around Community. Enjoy! Or ridicule. Whatever.
Oh, and for the record, I did mine before I saw Jamie’s and Cindy’s, but after I saw Makeesha’s and [...]
Sorry I’ve been rather quiet this week. My life has been a little crazy, for several reasons.
1. I have decided to start my own business, doing design of websites, logos, etc. More details to come, but I sent in a form to the relevant authority yesterday to register a business name. Sooooooo excited!
2. I spent several days [...]
Oh this sooooooo illustrates my last post. Just imagine the funnels are baby bottles
Jon @ Asbo Jesus is a legend.

I’ve been tagged by Barry to write about what a good church should look like. I had to think about it long and hard. I’m not much of a visionary.
However, what I came up with was this:
1. Church should be fundamentally and foundationally missional. We are a sent people, every single one of us. The entire [...]

Dear Church – Letters From a Disillousioned Generation
I found this website today (via Honest Faith) and found it very interesting. Similar to the Dear God website, it allows readers to submit their own letter, this time directed to the church.
Some of the letters there are poignant, some terribly sad, some hopeful.
Here are some excerpts of [...]

There is so much great stuff floating around at the moment I just had to share some of it.
Jeff wrote a fantastic post about religion vs grace. Please go read that one if you haven’t already.
David (the NakedPastor) brings up the importance of rest.
Sara talks about a glaring inequality in Kampala.
Barb gives us a good list [...]

Today is the Oak Tree Foundation’s End Child Slavery day.
Although we won’t be able to attend, my thoughts and prayers are with this little group of young people who are out to change the world. First it was Melbourne’s Make Poverty History concert, where Bono dropped in. Now they’re tackling the massive problem of child slavery.
From [...]

Abmo over at Windblown Hope has obviously been reading my posts rather deeply, because he’s come up with a meme about one! See here for my original post and here for Abmo’s.
He wants us to think about what would actually happen if a city was “taken for Christ” – if everybody in my city were Christians.
I only [...]

Barry has tagged me to participate in the Six Word Memoir meme:
So here is my memoir: (drum roll please)
Learning life in the junk drawer.
(see this post for explanation)
The fine print:
1. Write the title to your own memoir using 6 words.
2. Post it on your blog.
3. Link to the person that tagged you.
4. Tag five more [...]

A post over at The Boar’s Head Tavern (found via iMonk) got me thinking yet again about institutional church. Oh, that and a post by Jeff McQuilkin.
It is all starting to seem a little unnecessary to me, this ‘My Church, Your Church’ denominational stuff, even to the point of questioning the need for the Institutional Church [...]

Not really, but thank you so much to Jeff McQuilkin for bestowing upon me the honour of the Subversive Blogger Award.
For those who are unaware, Subversive bloggers are unsatisfied with the status quo, whether in church, politics, economics or any other power-laden institution, and they are searching for (and blogging about) what is new (or [...]

This is referencing an old post, I know, but I was re-reading it and realised anew the importance of learning from the past. The Blind Beggar warns of the pitfalls of the Jesus Movement in the 60’s, and catalogues some of their mistakes that he hopes the emerging church doesn’t make. Excellent reading.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted links on what other bloggers are doing around the place.
Brother Maynard talks about the “Worship Movement” (great description of it, by the way).
Michael Spencer discusses Christless preaching. I have heard enough of that myself to understand exactly where he’s coming from.
Jamie Arpin-Ricci talks about sexuality, and provides a [...]

This was the title (and substance) of a fantastic question posed by Jon over at Something Else.
It got me thinking more. Which got me commenting. Then Ruth suggested I blog about it.
My comment was:
I’ve actually been thinking a bit about this lately. Where does freedom in Christ cross over to an excuse to do our [...]

I didn’t think it was possible! I spent $3 on my latte this morning, and here I find Nathan and Laura doing a very intriguing experiment where they are eating with a dollar a day for just over a month.
Yes, I’m very late to the party. They’re up to day 30 already, but [...]
