It would be naive to not realize that in mindset and practice we are often denominational. Theologically, however, I am happy to be in a place where I can still say simply that I am a Christian. That still means a great deal to me. If that is naive, at least, for me, it is intentional. I have never commented before, so let me say that if there is a Top Ten for blogs, yours belongs in it for its thoughtfulness, openness, consistancy, grace, and spirit.

I always like his perspective and would be interested to hear what it is on Churches of Christ. Thanks. If anyone, ANYONE, could find a copy of this speech by Campolo, I would greatly appreciate it.

I listened to it once through and enjoyed it very much. I was thankful that your message was straight-forward and full of scripture. You articulated your thoughts is a humble fasion. I was wondering if you could point me to a link or a bookstore that carries the Osborne book that you quoted from. Or if possible could you email me a list of the books and study material you and Highland used as you made your decisions ragarding this subject. Thank you for your heart. <a HREF="http://www.michealfelker.com" rel="nofollow">Micheal Felker</A> michealfelker@gmail.com Mike-

It was good to talk with you while you were getting "wired-up" to speak on Friday evening at Tulsa. Your message was excellent -- very inspiring. When Wade introduced you, he used the word "authentic." I think that is an apt description. When I talked with on Friday, I found you to be the same person I occasionally talked with in Searcy when I was a student at H.U. in the mid-eighties. I know this is off-topic. Sorry. I'm just thinking out loud. Jeff Hi Mike.

I loved it the first time around and I love it even more this time. I even love the word "wonder". I'll put this into practice this morning myself. I'm excited to see the wonderful things ahead for this morning! I’m glad you posted this again too, Mike. I loved it the first time around and I love it even more this time.

I needed to take a second look at it. The first time I found myself caught up in the first half of the post - Tony's comments and all. I found myself mad at "the church" and "their" blindness. When I read it tonight it was the second half of the post that waged war in my soul. I found myself mad at, well, "myself" and "my" blindness. The line that pierced the body armor of my pride was, "Some have lost a sense of wonder and mystery as they plow through life getting tasks done." Good night! Could you have been any more right on? Tonight our family was doing this Easter activity and I found myself looking around our table at my family in total amazement. It was like I had been out of town for a long time and had just come back. Like the lights were off and then they came on again. Tears fought to jump out of my eyes and my heart was overflowing with joy. It was an amazing moment! As I walked from Emily's room (evening prayers and good night kisses) through the unusually quiet house, past the beautiful fire in the fireplace, I paused and wondered to myself, "how many other amazing moments have I missed this week?" As I was about to shut my laptop down for the night I felt prompted to check you blog and God brought me a word through you brother. I'm glad I didn't miss that either. Love you bro. Mike,
