Motivational Posters

I'm sure you've seen the Demotivational posters out there such as:







At Phil Johnson's blog Pyromaniacs I found something similar but geared toward emergents. They call it Emergent-See Po-Motivators. Enjoy.

Some of my favorites:

Anyone reading this blog going?

A friend and I were talking today about some conferences we wanted to attend. I forgot all about this one until I ran across it in a search. I watched the promo video below and got all excited...until I saw the dates-May 24-27. That's this weekend. And yeah I can't go. Maybe next year I can plan accordingly.

If anyone has been I would love to read some feedback about what you liked and what you didn't. Thanks in advance.

that you might be obsessing about Calvinism. I saw this on Poop Is Emergent Too and thought it was pretty funny. Enjoy.

Why We're Not Emergent

There is a fairly new book entitled Why I'm Not Emergent by Two Guys Who Should Be that my pastor/father-in-law passed to me a couple of weeks ago.

I have been slowly reading the book-as if there was any other way I read- and it has been very interesting. It is a mix of sound teaching and information alongside entertaining story telling in regards to the Emergent conversation or movement.

Between Two Worlds has posted some excerpts from a review of this book from Kristen Scharold. You can read the full review here. The conclusion of the review is below along with the most memorable quote from Kristen's review. Enjoy.

"In the end, the authors of Why We’re Not Emergent are not making a case for a new kind of Christianity. They are not trying lure emergent Christians into their fold with a hipper take on things. "We want a story with a climax...And if that story comes with a Guinness and some Coldplay, great. If not, no big deal."They are simply trying to replace the errors of the emergent church—which is, nonetheless, making important contributions to evangelicalism—with scripturally sound theology.

And it should not be so counterintuitive that young evangelicals such as myself prefer theology rooted in tradition to a spirituality waffling in relativism. We want a story with a climax so profound that it leaves us worshiping God, not reducing him to fit into our cultural paradigm. And if that story comes with a Guinness and some Coldplay, great. If not, no big deal."

New Links in the Blogroll

I have added two new links in my blogroll. One is called Contend Earnestly. There is a ton of useful information there. Check it out.

The other if for no other reason than its name alone has been placed in my blogroll. The name of it is Poop is Emergent Too. I'll just go ahead and say that you're probably not going to be as blessed and edified choosing this one over Contend Earnestly. However, if you dig deep enough you can certainly glean some blessings and insights from these guys along with a few laughs. Here is an excerpt from a Benny Hinn post. He references a quote of Benny's in which he has this comment about it. Classic stuff.



"Benny Hinn cracks me up…in a strange sort of way…My favorite part is..where he says he is talking to Jesus, but he is not sure if it is true or not. As if Jesus has a credibility problem. (Come on Jesus, don’t lie to me…) Oh Benny, you are funny, but you should live it up now, cause as I understand it hell is hot."

Paul Washer Project

This guy is an animal. I probably should post a warning that this is not for the faint of heart. You may even get saved. Just pray the prayer he talks about. :)
