This is a “must read”…but I didn’t write it.

i’ve been inspired by a lot of different authors…a lot of different books and articles and sermons.

some i expect.   others are unsuspecting little surprises.   such was the case in this article.   here’s a small quote to excite your spiritual taste buds:

I want a church that includes fussy kids, old liturgy, bad sound, weird congregants  and—brace yourself—painfully amateur “special music” now and then.Why?Well, for one thing, when the Gospel story is accompanied by a fog machine and light show, I always get this creeped-out feeling like someone’s trying to sell me something. It’s as though we’re all compensating for the fact that Christianity’s not good enough to stand on its own so we’re adding snacks. But more importantly, I want to be part of an uncool church because I want to be part of a community that shares the reputation of Jesus. Like it or not, Jesus’ favorite people in the world were not cool. They were mostly sinners, misfits, outcasts, weirdos, poor people, sick people and crazy people. 

you need to read the whole article.   it’s really short.   it’s really profound.   it will make your day.   here it is:   “is your church too cool?”

we’ll talk about it some more tomorrow.
