My soul resounds with a hearty Amen David. Can't wait to read it... Thanks for all you do.

Nice post Greg. Love it.

Love it. Great post David.

Oh gosh. Good post. Thank you so much David.

Agreed completely... can't wait for next month as well!

Good to hear your "voice" Stephen... we'll have to catch up soon :)

Man we here in Denver couldn't agree more w/ that last statement. We're not "attractional" in the least in terms of overall strategy... and while we find that angry post-Christendomers won't come to church, we've found that a lot of people... since they're SO post-Christendom... don't have the church as a reference point at all... good or bad... and since they're used to going to public events to experience things/hear ideas, going to a church gathering makes a lot of sense... there are lots of onramps into life in Christ for people at Bloom... relationships with others... house churches... etc... and our public gathering is one of them b/c of the LACK of church a point of reference for some

Will be there... and looking forward to it!

That is an awesome idea!

I loved this.. "We are not going to the gathering in order make a connection to God in worship. We are going to submit, quiet ourselves, and practice with others living in the presence of God so that our sensibilities are properly trained to continue in His presence the rest of the week. It’s a spiritual discipline that continues into the rest of the week not a point of contact to live off of the rest of the week." Couldn't agree more. I'll be re-posting this. Thanks Dave.

Dave -

Incredible thoughts. Well stated. Reminds me of many things JPII said in Evangelium Vitae. These are SUCH hard matters. God give us grace to live a vision of human sexuality that transfigures and heals.

Peace.
