Completely off topic, but I noticed one of your top tags is church planting. I intend to check some of your blogs on the topic, but I’d love it if you could e-mail me with any words of advice. (For the full story on our situation, check my post at http://emergingwomen.blogspot.com/2006/09/startup-faith-communities.html.)

My post may have tended too much toward sarcasm, and not enough toward constructive critique. Maybe I’m even guilty of the same things I accuse him of. But, I do think his critique of out of line. What troubles me is that people DO care what he has to say, and that he his using his position to promote an incomplete understanding of the work of Christ in this world.

Now I am sure many of us (and I know I did) in the midst of this passion did and said things that perhaps on reflection we might not have done and said things quite the way we did.

Perhaps we shouid be thankful to God for a man so willing to serve Christ in such a ’secular’ place. Let’s pray for him, let’s encourage him, let’s remember he is just like us only people seem to care what he says! Thank God nobody pays attention to the stuff I say!!
