That is only a small portion of the sermon. It's worth getting the whole thin. Yes, Ravi does a great job. I wish I had an accent!

Matt, Thanks again for the quotes. Pastor Rich required all the deacons and pastors to read the 9 marks last year. I really appreciated it (though I was neither a pastor or deacon :)).

Thanks for the quote. I'll have to make sure to get this in the quote book. I However, I fear most pastors, not to mention congregations, have not heard true expository preaching. Now only to practice what we preach!

From reading the first paragraphs, funny it's hard to criticize a movement that hates criticism...

I agree, even in putting it together there does seem to be some bias showing through. As an outsider I'm sure I'd be able to tell you which position the author holds. :)
Anyway, I think it's interesting because I like when people tell me why I'm doing what I'm doing because they often can identify motives or blind spots I cannot.

Very interesting chart, although I can't see its benefit. No matter where someone is pigeonholed, he is most likely going to be proud of it and see the others as the corrupted bad guys. Your thoughts, Matt?

a little follow up...
That Hideous Strength is definately far out. But I love it. I love it because Lewis has a way of painting his allegory beautifully and then expressing his point with a hard hitting explanation. An example:
"Both were young, and if neither loved very much each was still anxious to be admired."

Both are amazing, excellent books.

The Silmarillion is actually five books in one, or five stories in one, rather. It talks about the creation of Middle-Earth (my personal favorite, called Ainulindale), a description of the deities (Valaquenta), The forging of the silmarils (Quenta Silmarillion), and the downfall of Numenor (Akallabeth, would make a great movie!), and a fifth parth that talks about the Rings of Power. Anyway, it's a good read, but really tough and hard to get through. Especially Ainulinadle and Valaquenta are interesting to read. You can't consider them a Christian allegory, since Tolkien despised allegories, but his Christianity definitely comes through.

"That Hideous Strength" is amazing, too. If I recall correctly, it's the last of his Space Trilogy. I think Lewis had some fun playing around with the Arthurian mythology.

Enjoy! They're great reading, unless of course you have homework to be doing . . .

Yeah, I do agree that music communicates. And I'd even say that there are aspects of music that would communicate universally. On the other hand I think there are aspects of music that communicate subjectively based on the recepter. Music cannot be on the same level as language because it cannot be decoded as simply as language. Neither is authorial intent simply determined. It's an expression of emotion which is difficult to codify. I think to say there is always universality in expression is to oversimplify the issue, and worse to go beyond scripture in making moral judgments on it. Does that make sense? In theory, I like Aniol's view, but in actuality in light of the diversity of expression that exists, I don't think it holds up.

That being said, I don't for a second question Voice's heart in the issue. This is truly the first time I've ever seen a hip hop artist not completely consumed with self. He was from all appearances doing what he was doing (his intent) "to the glory of God."

This thread might be appropriate...

What does Voice's music communicate? What does it feel like?

40 words... I don't think I can. McKnight uses four words to describe praxis that all need separate treatment. But here's my attempt to summarize my problem. McKnight said, "praxis shapes theology." This is classic emerging philosophy. McKnight deemphasizes (or eliminates) the role of orthodoxy in orthopraxy. But McKnight is the first person I have EVER read who said that "theology shapes praxis." Statements like that are usually called modern, emperical, and flat-out denied by emerging leaders.

Gotta go...

In 40 words or less what's the major problem with emerging praxis? :)

seriously, I have no idea. I think we'd spend most of our time explaining what it is. But even that would be beneficial I think.

I went home at 4 yesterday, thus the delayed response. I'd like to respond to some of your comments one by one. First, I believe that the praxis river is central to the emerging church, therefore it has most red flags for me. This is also where I placed the emphasis of my study last year.

Second, I have visited Solomon's Porch and "met" Doug Pagitt. Solomon's Porch and Pagitt are the far, far left of the emerging church. Space and time won't permit me to explain it all, but I'd steer clear of him. This is not to say that the body has no place in worship, but Pagitt's reasoning and implementation are problematic, to say the least.
