What’s with that? Has that happened to anyone else?

We shouldn’t be switching churches,
we should be enriching churches”

In some ways I wish there was one church to a town like there used to be in the earliest days of the country’s formation. One couldn’t walk across to the congregation across the street to escape their problems with the community. They had to work out their problems like they were in a real relationship!

The name Larry Burkett seems to have been resurrected and is being mixed with a little Hal Lindsey. Hmm . . . didn’t both of them miss the dates? Why are Christians still listening to them? Why study economics or history when you can have a Gnostic (but stupid) answer at the snap of your finger?

I really like the way that Mark A. Noll stated it in The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind:

The evangelical predilection, when faced with a world crisis, to use the Bible as a crystal ball instead of a guide for sorting out the complex tangles of international morality was nowhere more evident than in the responses to the Gulf War (Gulf War I) in 1991. Neither through the publishing of books nor through focused consideration in periodicals did evangelicals engage in significant discussions on the morality of the war, the use of the United Nations in the wake of the collapse of Communism, the significance of oil for job creation or wealth formation throughout the world, the history of Western efforts at intervention in the Middle East, or other topics fairly crying out for serious Christian analysis. Instead, evangelicals gobbled up more that half a million copies each of several self-assured, populist explanations of how the Gulf crisis was fulfilling the details of obscure biblical prophecies.
