Although I am not Lutheran, this is funny because it sounds somewhat familiar.

The following video from 100 Huntley Street explores the question “what is the church” and looks at some new and emerging forms of the church. I am especially interested in the section on the FRWY (“free way”), a Salvation Army Church Plant in downtown Hamilton which is built around a Cafe.
This kind of ministry appeals to me, and is a dream I am presently sharing with Crossroads (the church where I pastor).

I love the part where he reflects on the idea that maybe the rich are not so rich afterall, and the poor are not so poor afterall.
What we can learn from each other, if only we would break down the man-made barriers that divide us, and discover our roots in God that unite us!

You may or may not appreciate classical music, but you will probably recognize most of these songs, they were all written by Johann Sebastian Bach. Here the King’s Singers tell a great story of a time when Johann had a problem, he didn’t know how to finish writing a particular “Toccata”. He needs a “Fugue” to end it! He and his wife have a heated discussion. In the end, his gadget saves the day! Enjoy!

Apparently this is not a joke, it is for real. I saw this commercial on TV last night.
I laughed like I haven’t laughed in a long time!!!!!!

Who thought that honouring Obama with the Nobel Peace Prize could be topped, but here we have it; he has been crowned with the highest honour, his crowing glory – A CHIA HEAD!
I can just picture Obama at his desk at the white house, with Chia head on the desk, and his aids silent in awe at this wondrous sight (or biting their lips, daring not to laugh out loud).
What I would say to the makers of this fine product – “Yes you can… but should you???”

Hmm, what “one thing” would Jesus challenge me to give up?

Please tell me what you think?

Having grown up in a tradition that talks a lot about comfort (afterall, ‘what is my only comfort in life and in death’), I wonder whether we’ve become too comfortable?
