Fortuitous Bouncing

Wow what a crazy weekend I have. Yesterday was a day spent with worship ministry staff and leadership going over a DISC personality profile workshop and then a ministry-wide dessert get together. Today I am part of strategic and long term planning for the worship ministry at Sunset. Hoping for a wonderful day with much revelation.

John Piper on President Obama speaking to today’s children on the first day of school. You might be surprised by what he says, I know I was.
So awesome. “An outsider’s guide to the Christian Subculture.”
Yikes, talk about controversial. Check out this post titled: Why Political Conservatism is Dangerous to the Gospel (And to clarify, I link to things I agree with and disagree with. I fully want to encourage us to read things from various perspectives).
Loved this post on liturgy, modern worship, and music in church.
A helpful guide to help you get a handle on your email inbox from Michael Hyatt.

Now that Idol has showed that they are much more of an entertainment show than a talent show with quality music judging, I think I won’t be watching for the first time ever.

Not sure how that pastor is still a pastor either. He’s just a neighborhood away from us here in AZ… he’s got like 40 people coming to his services, 80 reporters, and 100 picketers.

I first found out about Steven Anderson when I saw a video of him preaching against Perry Noble and NewSpring Church. Turns out Noble was just one of several pastors that Anderson has preached against. Apparently this guy couldn’t generate enough attention by attacking other pastors and churches, so now he’s attacking the president. It’s pretty obvious he’s doing it for the attention/infamy – he wants to be this generation’s Fred Phelps. As for why he’s still a pastor, according to the Faithful Word website, their church is autonomous. So there’s no one to hold him accountable except for those who attend his church.

ultimately, he’s still a pastor b/c this is a free country and he’ll have people that “follow” him defend him…why do cults have the ability to exist? or why do pastors & priests who are dishonest still get to exist? men have their day- and God will have His.

Maybe I’m the only thinking this, but I gotta ask: is it me, or does Steven Anderson have a strong resemblance to actor Luke Wilson?

Someone on twitter mentioned that he looks like a guy on Lost. I don’t watch Lost so I wouldn’t know but Luke Wilson is close too.
