Yes, my peeps. Today is my b-day and my 27th anniversary. And I'm still oh so young. How can it be? Ha!

...but place frog in warm water and slowly heat and we have frog legs for dinner; we've been slowly cooked into irrelevance

My fear - western Christians are like the frog in the kettle; boil the water and throw in the frog and he hops out...

and, rather than reform our systems, let's revolutionize of our systems.

...let's adopt Christian church techniques of our Asian and African brothers/sisters that are proving effective for church planting/growth;

...let's declare the U.S. a non/post-Christian; let's look at ourselves as a foreign country under atheistic/agnostic rule...more to come...

How to respond to our slide morally and spiritually in the U.S. and the West in general? More in next post...

There is nothing new under the sun, as the good Book says; we make much ado about nothing. Only God remains the singular joy of life.

Co-author John Pisciotta and I are planning a book release event at Inglewood Baptist Church, Sunday evening, June 28th, 6:30 p.m. Come!

Tpday is the mid-point of VBS week. We will survive.
