I believe these..."Wander off into myths"<br /><br />I believe these would be called "Meta-Narratives" by the PoMo. Yet they are the largest fans of mythology! :)<br /><br />I believe the overaching myth since say about 1860's would be, "Chance x Long Time = Order!" Yet, many consider that myth unassailable!<br /><br />And today we hear "Mother Earth" being praised (hopefully not by the PoMo but you never know these days).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-87061086251679356602012-02-28T17:59:51.852-08:002012-02-28T17:59:51.852-08:00"Oh great more change at Blogger.

A question that has been on my heart is: Do we then pursue those dropouts? How do we pursue them? Is it the pastor's job? Is it the congregations job? Is it the close friend's job?<br />Also, where is the middle ground (not the standard emergent church with couches and latte's, but a true outreach) for the seeker who may have grown completely out of touch with God?<br />I am not saying that the Spirit cannot work in any space, but I am simply wondering how far God wants us to reach out to those who need accesibility and relevance?<br /><br />Blessings on the Pyro's.<br />And I would greatly appreciate feedback from anyone - I am doing a college Apologetics project on this stuff and I need deeper understanding.<br /><br />AndrewAM Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09130972399716001987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-60716520920221206542012-02-27T17:45:37.754-08:002012-02-27T17:45:37.754-08:00Hmm...9 comments.

If you go and tell the world that Homosexuals are sinning, and speak out against the whole "homo-marriage" thing, you will not be received to say the least.<br />And this isn't a hate statement, but just the opposite:-it's because we want others to see the truth, and ask our Savior to save them.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for the good post.donsandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665794015011057098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-51874145587038101932012-02-27T12:58:04.042-08:002012-02-27T12:58:04.042-08:00Oh great.

Preachers don't have an excuse to preach nonsense or avoid Biblical terminology just because the people in the pews don't want to deal with the truth. The rock star gives the audience what they want. The preacher should give them what they need.mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944721261850361610noreply@blogger.com
