The Muses took the A-train

One day I may write blog entries again. For today, however, I will simply give you more links. If you're bored over Christmas break check these articles out:

Why I'm not Emergent. Hilarious.

"Why should Disney, or Switchfoot, or Philip Yancey, or whomever, have to do our work for us?" (I.e., a tract or a movie or a book is not an excuse for you to forgo the sometimes painful process of building a real live relationship with your neighbor.)

Patriotism as idolatry.

Cool words.

Zarathrusta shrugged Maybe your coworker doesn't really care that your connect-the-dots Bible prophecy apologetic makes sense to you.

Thou shalt be cool. C'mon guys, everyone knows that we Christians are inherently nerdy. We don't party, we're bound to some ancient Jewish holy book, and we like to use words like "abstinence," "evangelism," and "sin." So can we just stop trying to be hip? In high school the bookworm geek was always more tolerable, maybe even likeable, when he just recognized that he was a nerd without trying to be cool by piercing his ears and talking about his nunchuks. Besides, the problem with trendy Church is that trends, well, they're just trends. They're ephemeral. Pretty good article by Crouch.

Of wardrobes and potters. Proof that not all Christians are enamored of hysterical conspiracy theories.

Jon, these are phenomenal.
Thanks for sharing the links.
I'd offer comments on each article, but that would take too long. So we can just talk sometime.

Do you read these sites regularly?

I scrounge around these sites every once in a while. I like just about anything by Crouch. Here's a list of his articles in CT.

The first 2 sites I only just discovered.
