Although its never that black and white in either case.

When you say "the West" do you mean hemisphere or the Western US? Thanks for the post Paul. When you say “the West” do you mean hemisphere or the Western US?

I tend to agree where you are going with this. I am glad i found this blog...As a youthpastor who was not born in the West, but is now ministering in the west, its hard to convince the market driven church and youth about priorities...anyways thanks for the post, feel free to check out my blog.

I hope you are enjoying it.<br/><br/>Second, to be totally honest, Purpose Driven Church is a disgusting book. It symbolizes a "movement" within the church to find out what people want and are doing and making the church fit into that. Whatever happened to us leading towards God's kingdom? And scariest thought of all... what does a mega-church junkie say about the times when Jesus would say hard things (like eat my flesh and drink my blood) and thousands would leave? I've yet to hear about a mega-church pastor (or really anyone else for that matter) bold enough to bring out those sorts of teachings. I wonder if their theology would lead them to believe Jesus wasn't doing God's will when the crowds left...<br/><br/>Blessings Chuck! And thanks for the last 2 video clips also!

(He referred to a book I wish I could remember but he wished it was on the reading list for Keen's class) Regardless of whether we accomplish the truth with our practice of ethics, we encourage people to look to the Church for this. And when they turn to the Church, maybe whipped cream for dinner isn't exactly what Jesus is serving so I suppose we shouldn't either. Oh man, I love whipped cream!
