I just realized that I missed the 100th post. I guess I wasted it on a news article about a man who grunts too much.

Yeah!

Scientology?

Here is a link to a report on Scientology from RollingStone Mag.

It seems to be a fair article, asking what is it and why would it make Tom Cruise so nutty. It definitely answers a lot of questions about what it is and what they believe.

What were they thinking?

Another TIME Mag article on youth ministry

How to Get Teens Excited About God
Youth ministers are seeking clues in the results of a new survey of teens and the church, which shows a spiritual longing that is often not fulfilled

In Touch With Jesus

Sugarcoated, MTV-style youth ministry is so over. Bible-based worship is packing teens in pews now.

A ban on all religion?

"From my point of view, I would ban religion completely. Organized religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into really hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate." - Elton John

You can read more of Elton John's statement HERE.

I'm a little torn by the comments made by Sir Elton. While I think it's pretty shortsighted and intolerant of him to not allow a person of faith to have the opinion that homosexuality is wrong, I wonder if this reaction is due to the unloving response Christians have shown the gay community.

It's hard to live a response like Jesus' because Jesus never encounter a homosexual in the scriptures. But we do know that Jesus loved sinners and responded to sinners with demonstrations of love. And we know that Jesus was stern and confronting in the way he addressed believers who did not demonstrate love.

I am not in anyway condoning homosexuality. Just like I wouldn't condone any kind of sexual immorality. But I do believe we need to be a people who love the unlovably...just like God loved us.

Go Green

For those of you who find yourself concerned about the enviroment and the future of our earth. Personally I'm not a fanatic, because if this world were to die it would mean Jesus' return was imminent, but I do feel that one of the core responsibilities of men and women is to care for our world. I think that's what God assigned to Adam and Eve.

Anyways if your concerned here is a helpful, useful website:

a beautiful blog tribute

Here is a blog entry by a guy named Bob Carlton in tribute to Mike Yaconelli. Yaconelli was a guru of sorts in youth minister/ministry circles. He was definitely someone who helped me catch a glimpse of the wreckless love of God through his teaching, writings and life.

Blog Entry Here.
