Current Tunage: Skillet – Rest
“Invincible”-era Skillet. Good for the soul and stuff.

My apologies for the delay (Aunt Deb!). Life has a way of throwing me curveballs – the current state of my thoughts concerning the Western church should arrive in fuller form tomorrow but until then here’s a few of my point-form bits to whet the old “eye-petite” (kinda like apetite, only for reading):

Rough Form TOPICS for “THE SECOND REFORMATION”
(or, “How The West Was Won”)
(or, “Some Silly Sinner Seems So Serious”)

1. Positive Accountability: Guilt is a Lousy Motivator
2. Elder-Lead: Voting was never in the Bible, and neither was the Papacy
3. Small Groups: “Of”, not “With”
4. Transparency Without Distraction: Fiscally, Disciplinarily, Doctrinally, etc.
5. “Don’t Expand – Plant!”: Growth by Multiplication, not Migration
6. The Only Way to be Jesus-centric is to be Bible-centric: The Word
7. Worship in Song: Meaningful and Solemn, Energetic and Impassioned

…and that’s all that comes to mind off the top of my head. There might even be more once I get started.

So, even as I’m looking over that, this will probably be less a One Post Wonder™ and more likely a Multi Post Series™. I’m really looking forward to it, hang on tight.
