Tucker came home the other day and said, “we can’t play Rock-Paper-Scissors at preschool.” Now, I’m sure there is a good reason for this. Maybe it causes a lot of arguments and it’s not just that game that is banned from the classroom. It could be that it wasn’t an complete ban of the game from the entire school–maybe just the classroom. But, if Tucker is any indication, it has been banned from the school because the boy simply doesn’t know the rules and gets mad at his brother and just punches him in the gut!! Read more

Will The “Real” Rob Bell Please Stand Up

I’m sure you have seen all of the mess with the upcoming book from Rob Bell. An interesting facet of the whole thing is the Twitter handle of this Rob Bell is @realrobbell. John Piper, et. al. bid this Rob Bell (@robbell and web guy in the UK) farewell a couple of weeks ago!

First of all, let’s be nice, right? Second of all, if you are going to bid a man “farewell” from “the faith,” make sure you are talking to the right guy! Unbelievable.

Rachel Held Evans interviewed the web designer Rob Bell last week on her blog. What a picture of how late to the party the church has been in communicating the love and grace of God…WITH GRACE and LOVE!

I have been watching this controversy over Rob Bell, the preacher and founding pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church, Nooma guy, and now freshly thrown under the evangelical bus, “heretic” guy. The controversy is that several evangelicals (one began the firestorm and others tweeted the Amen) have come out and called Bell a heretic because of his book that is coming out next Tuesday–next Tuesday no less. In this world of 24/7 news cycle, Twitter, blogs, etc.; we can form our opinion now BEFORE the evidence is fully on the table, I guess! Well, SOME of the evidence was on the table. Read more

A Mission Trip for Creatives

Just saw this cool opportunity that came across my Google reader this morning.  I absolutely love the idea that ANYONE can be used to advance the Gospel all around the world–no matter your gifts, passions, or occupation! I just talked with my students and adults last night in the Rock about the Disciple’s Mission from Matthew 9:35-10:4. Read more
