Frank Viola's "Ultimate Passion"
There are no superstars in Jesus' Revolution, except for the man himself. But there are those who have served as pioneers and innovators, breaking new ground or recovering ancient paths. Because they are fore-runners, they have had an opportunity to uniquely influence many lives. Frank Viola is just such a person. He has been a voice of vision from the infancy of the house church movement and, thourgh his writing, speaking, and ministry experience, has served as a guide in this uncharted territory. I had a chance to interview Frank about his new book God's Ultimate Passion: Unveiling the Purpose Behind Everything .

JESUS, our Covering
In 1971, I enlisted in the army. The next couple of months were some of the toughest I had ever experienced. Basic Training! I took basic training at Ft. Dix, NJ. It was all dry sand and wet sand. We marched and ran and crawled in the sand. The Drill Sergeants made the rules and we kept them to the letter, or we suffered punishment. The punishment consisted of mainly push-ups. If you really messed up, you got to clean the latrine; that?s the toilet, for you who haven?t had the pleasure of being ...

They Like Jesus but Not the Church
Nancy Kennedy wrote an article for her syndicated column that was published by several newspapers. It is always interesting to see what is being published by media. Here is an excerpt: They like Jesus, but not the church. That?s the title of a book I?m reading and it?s also the sentiment of an entire generation.

Distracted, Discouraged, Disabled
Since returning from Chicago I’ve got to be honest with you - it has been hard for me to focus on very much. Even important things, like getting my class readings done, writing posts on this blog, and finding inspiration in my prayer life have just simply not had the same energy attached to them like they normally do. At one level, it might just be me becoming listless - thinking too much about the future and not focusing on where I am right now. I’d say that’s probably part...

| Hmmm..What about this one? | Offensive language: I think my mother taught me
 WARNING: If cussing and offensive language piss you off, excuse my King James, please do not read on because I WILL refer to words that are deeply offensive and yet must be mentioned if we are to have a serious and objective look at the subject of offensive language and the emerging church movement. Interesting conversation going on this week at Monday Morning Insight. Charles Swindoll has been dropped from VCY radio station for using 'vulgar" language [including buns, heck, crap, bal...

| Movement Media (MP3) | The New Perspective(s) on Paul
In this mp3 Pastor Scott Golike wants to answer the following questions: 'Have we been misreading Paul's problem with the Judaism of his day, and along with it what he meant by works of the law and justification by faith?' 'Have we been distorting Paul by reading him through the lens of Augustine's fight with Pelagius, and even more so, Luther's fight with Catholicism?' 'Have we, in fact, been misrepresenting the Gospel all this time?' Leading scholars say yes...

The Jake Book
I am probably the last person left on the planet who had not read So You Do Not Want to Go to Church Anymore by Wayne Jacobsen aka Jake Colsen. I finally tackled it in its entirety last weekend. In case there are one or two of you left who have not read it, it is available online free here. Jacobsen?s tour de force is his ability to deliver crushing blows to religious systems. He may not always give us clear direction into the Promised Land, but he certainly helps free u...
