In The Details

I'd love some discussion here (and tonight) on this quote:

"A change is a change and, contrary to belief, has to start with the details, the breeding ground of any truly existential experience."

Unbelievable

Chris H left this quote as a comment a few days back, and I'd love to hear more response to it:

"The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, and walk out the door, and deny Him with their lifestyle. This is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable."

Eeyore's Birthday or Face to Face Pt. 2

Yesterday a group of us headed out to Pease Park for Eeyore's Birthday. For those of you who have never been, this is a 45 year old Austin event that brings out an eclectic mix of Austinites and finds its center, if in anything, in community.

In other words, there is music and food and drinking and costumes and drum circles and walking around and laying on the grass and getting high, but the event isn't committed to any one of these things in particular. Which is its genius, and I wouldn't want to change it.

But I couldn't help thinking about what these thousands of people could accomplish were they all to get behind...something. So, here's my question, if you had some charisma and face to face time with those assembled at Pease Park, what might you inspire them to do?

Church

Church should always be an engagement with the real world, not a separation from it.
