I read this today on a Linkedin feed and I nearly spewed my coffee: Church goals must be continually repeated and reinforced. Once isn’t enough. People forget. To outperform you must overinform. I have questions: Who ever said the church needs “goals“? Seriously!? The church has adopted business language and has swallowed it hook line and sinker. The fisherman’s intentions are not good. Is “must” high on your list of personal motivators? When your church uses words like “repeat“, does... Read more

These are the three key spiritual/ intellectual transitions in my life: Question the Authority: I am the oldest of 5 children. I never challenged my father. I still have great difficulty challenging authority figures. However, through my many years in the church in so many of its manifestations, my experience with authority figures has been profoundly negative. I let myself be restricted, controlled or abused until I can take no more and finally have to speak up. The costs have... Read more

Darrin, who I met through this blog, commented on this morning’s cartoon “Goodbye?”: Honesty is a lonely trail sometimes. Keep up the good work. And you do go too far sometimes! LOL. So do we all though! Maybe for many people in the church Dave you simply pronounce shibbóleth the wrong way and they then won’t let you cross into places they don’t want you to be. But those places are home for you and where your voice is most... Read more

The mythical story of Babel in Genesis teaches that language is a powerful unifier, but that it is also a powerful divider. Sometimes we make efforts to get another person to subscribe to our language because it makes us more comfortable. We can finally categorize that person as either in agreement with us or in disagreement and put them in their proper place in relation to us. We will talk and talk and talk in efforts to get the other... Read more
