I find myself increasingly saying, when he talks, "Speak for yourself, buddy."

Yes, he needs to go: he is not professing orthodoxy while living differently; he is insisting upon his rights.

Glad to hear it has been recovered.

Maturity beats the enthusiasm of the newbie; our culture's fixation on the novel is the source for at least some of the tension between pastor and people. At the bottom, though, it's old Adam vs. new, the age old battle that rages not only in congregations but in our souls.

So much for being bigger than Jesus Christ. Perhaps our children's children will not know His name either.

A humble confession, and one those of us (mea culpa) who have ever rolled our eyes at the "noise" in church should share.

But the lengthening of the Common Table Prayer (I've seen various versions) perhaps bespeaks some guilt and a desire for more "meat" (ha ha).

As an entertainer and a demagogue, he uses extreme language to make his points. But this is an age of shouting, and it is hard to express complex points or subtle distinctions to the hard of hearing (thanks to Flannery O'Conner). So hats off to Rush; long may he rant.
