For years I have wondered about "blogging." Most of my wonder has come from trying to figure out why anyone would want to know what I have to say about...well, about most anything. I have now come to see that blogging can be a way of creating a community of sorts, a community of like-minded types who may agree or disagree on any number of things, but have a good, and (hopefully) mutually edifying time doing it.
I am stepping off a bit of a cliff in my life in endeavoring to do some "Kingdom entrepreneurship" where I live and with others around the country. You see, I am a Christian, and a Presbyterian, and a pastor, and I am concerned with the place of the church in the world today. I know, I know, I'm not the only one; far from it. But rather than offering "10 Steps to Repair the Place of the Church in the World," I have this quaint notion that working one person and one church at a time, those of us who care deeply for The Church and God's people may get some things right, and thereby begin to care not only for ourselves but for what Scripture calls "our descendants after us for the generations to come." (Genesis 17:7) The Church MUST be relevant for, as my friend George Grant says, "The church is God's Plan A and there is no Plan B."
Join me. Let's talk.
