Jesus Camp

So last night our family watched "Jesus Camp", the documentary that is up f or an Academy Award this year. Several things were a bummer for me on this. First of all, it confirmed the absolute cluelessness within so many conservative Christians as to the heart of the Lord for the lost. The us vs. them theme came through strong. The documentary revolves around a lady who is a Children's evangelist/prophetess. Her entire training focuses on a militaristic attitude towards non-Christians. The right wing focus on changing government/politics is the key m.o. for "changing" the world. The other serious mistake they made was to allow the filming of children speaking in tongues, etc.; a clear scriptural violation where Paul points out that when unbelievers or unlearned are present then you must keep the prayer gift to yourself and to God.

Im Alive

I have not posted in a few days because I am scrambling like mad. Our family is packing the Texas house to make the move back to Missouri. We close the sale on this house on February 15 and hit the road for "home". At the same time, my partnership/website project with Alan Hirsch is rocking along. You guys are going to love what this site will do. There is nothing out there like it. After much debate, research, etc. the site will be called The Shapevine. The idea is that this will be a place for kingdom thinking and learning to happen that shapes all involved. The vine part represents the organic network aspect.
The logo you see here is just an early concept, our guy is working on several more.

Had a great visit with Bob Roberts yesterday. You guys need to get his newest book, Glocalization. No one (that I am aware of) understands and communicates it like Bob does. This is a must read.
