the new holy crap

Alright, we're going to try to rejuvenate this thing one more fall instead of rashly pulling the plug. Welcome back. Hope everyone had a good summer! Here's the news: We are now welcoming comments from the public. The long-time contributors are still the primary dialogue-thrusters but we are ready to hear from others, should they ever wander by.

So let's remember the ground rules. This is dialogue. Dialogue means respect, humility, grace, and a united commitment to truth that relentlessly involves listening as much as it involves saying your piece. Consider this a good opportunity to learn better what it might mean to speak the truth in love! I don't know about you, but I could certainly use a bit of work with both. May God have mercy, may God bring the holy.

Looking forward to hearing from the old gang of "crappers" and new contributors alike. Welcome to the dialogue! (love, Fear)

Retractions and Epiphanies


Okay, so four and a half topics later and its almost the end of '06. We'll take on a new topic in '07, but lets gather our thoughts. As Trembling alluded to in the last topic, sometimes you have to let a topic simmer. Having had that opportunity, are there any further things you'd like to say? Just state the topic and go for it. If we hammer away at one or glance on all of 'em this month that's fine. I'll throw in a new slant on the media one for the heck of it too. But let's hear about your retractions and forgotten epiphanies!

Hell: Is there a view you can't hold? Is there a view you should hold?

Women: Should women be ordained? Should they be senior pastors? How do you go about seeking change?

SeekerChurch: Are you with Trembling on this one? Why or why not?


Guidance: How does God guide you? Does He go before you or stand behind you and how do you know what He's saying?

Media & Christmas: Is it wrong to dislike the Christmas season? Do Christians need to do something to counter the commercialization of the event or should we ride the hype for all its worth?



Its been great chatting with you all. Looking forward to '07. Until then, let's have a great December and a meaningful Incarnation Day.
