Every Good Band Deserves Fudge: Procrastination

When Necessary, Use Money

The typical church atmosphere today is such that attendees are conditioned to put money into an offering plate and consider this to be a pretty decent way to spread the Gospel. hether intended or not, this method of helping, if it is the primary focus, keeps the average church-attender from actually meeting and connecting to needy people and it tells him that money is his best gift or good deed.

De-Powering the Name of Jesus

In the old days, Superman could move planets. As if that weren't enough, he could move multiple planets at once. Heck, he could even do this as a teenager! Somewhere along the line, the writers decided that this just wasn't believable enough, I guess, so they brought his powers down to a more realistic ensemble. You know, flying, heat vision, super-cold breath... the more normal things.

The Noise and Impact of Worship

How many fellowships are apathetic and complacent, perched in the middle of hurting communities and not lifting a finger to help, but instead singing songs one day a week about how good it is not to be a part of the riff-raff on the outside? Isn't it time we redeemed ourselves by our actions?

Good Deeds and Contradictions

When we're challenged or confronted with an argument about contradiction in Scripture, sometimes we can be taken completely off-guard. One of the worst responses in this kind of situation is simply to say, "I just take the Bible on faith," and dismiss the challenge as being made by an ignorant Christian-hater. The fact is, most of the time it's not the Bible we're taking on faith. Often it's the teaching of someone who pieced together some verses to bolster a themed speech.

This evening my family will be in Jonesboro, GA to see comedian Tim Hawkins. Yes, we love him THAT much!

Not really. But he is funny.

We intended to see him when he came to Huntsville, AL (my daughter is a huge fan and months in advance we promised her we'd go) but we procrastinated on getting tickets -- difficult to believe, I realize -- and the event sold out. We took the opportunity to catch his performance at the next closest city. Five hours away. The great thing is that it's quite close to my wife's cousin's house, so we enjoyed the weekend chilling with Matt, his wife Cat, and their little daughter Emery.

No moral to the story today. Not even an interesting tale of anything nutty that happened this weekend. Just wanted to share.

By the way, my in-laws are house-sitting.
