practicing theology : Has the Church Lost its Flippin' Mind?

You bring up a good point. It seems to me that many of these places will be museums if American culture continues to trend in the direction where people do not want anything to do with church.

$5 million a year to support these facilities is not too far off. Just think of how much that could help some needy people. I know a church in Irving (a big one) that spends a huge portion of their yearly budget on facilities and payroll. And people wonder why para church ministries exist? They exist because so much of the money that could be used to actually help people is spent on so much frivolous crap!

You may be right. But I wonder if someone disagrees and is too embarrassed to actually call me out on it. Ha!

Did a woman actually call in and say that racism is stirred in her?

Wooooo. Great comment! I like how you bring to light the humanity of those get abortions or perform abortions. It's so easy to just focus on the act and miss the "person" performing the act. It's the same thing with gays. We are so quick to pass judgment against them and distance ourselves as if they are contagious. But they are human just like we are. Thanks for the feedback.

I agree with Jonathan on this one. Hopefully we can get more perspectives like this on this site. I think a lot of people go into marriage thinking it will be a fairy tale. Hopefully this article will help someone get some perspective.

One of these days I am going to be in church while someone is holding their baby and dancing and they will drop the kid. Then I will laugh, point my finger at them and say, "That's what you get!" Just kidding. (maybe) People who pray out loud while someone on stage is praying are pretty distracting too.

I really love your analysis of Ephesians 5:24-26 an dhow you connected that with a guy taking the risk to ask a girl out. That is good stuff. I will have to use that one in the future.

The idea of a church Technology strategist is really key in my opinion. Especially for church plants (of which I am a part of). Technology has a significant influence on how we exist in community with one another and having someone who at least understands this impact will go a long way towards helping churches determine where to best spend their technology dollars.
