I really had not intention of starting up the IVM dialog again, but I found this video and it soooooo rocks what I’ve been saying about it.

It’s a total rip off of the PC v. Mac commercials, but it’s good.  And short.  Enjoy.

Sometimes thrill seekers get more than they bargained for, you know?

This is a total rip off (title and everything) from David Phillips, but I just couldn’t help it.

Would you do this?

Seriously, these must be the worst dancers you have EVER seen.

I’ve had some bad experiences in the pulpit – I even preached a Disciple Now Rally with my fly down – but this one has never happened to me.  Yet.

Lord, I beg of You, great and awesome Father, PLEASE don’t let this ever happen to me!

Feel free to share your embarassing moment in the comments.  Anybody brave enough?

These guys are answering the question, “What is Missional?”

Addressed early is the “junk drawer” way that most people throw things they think the church ought to be doing into the “Missional” category.

Also addressed in a GREAT way are the attractional part of the church that is good and evangelism and conversion in the Missional church that has pushed back from instant conversion thing.

At the end of the video, some pretty “evangelical” statements are made by Fitch regarding the social engagement of the church that are striking.  It is not “OK” just to seek justice for the downcast, for “there is no justice without Jesus.”

Good stuff.

PS.  Looking good Ed.  Keep up the Eliptical!  You’re doing great.

Otherwise known as Marty Duren before the barstool.  :)

I think he handles it well.
