Want to know if you are preaching right?

I wouldn't call this exactly scientific, but...


I love dropping sermons into Wordle.net. Tells me if I'm keeping the main thing the main thing. 

This week, I think I managed to as we walked through John 3 and the story of Nicodemus...

Oooh, I like that. I'd never heard of Woordle before but I think we're going to be good friends!

Perhaps we've finally found an objective source for accountability in what we preach/teach/write!

Hadn't thought of this application of Wordle, but I like it. :)

This is a beautiful tool. I plugged in my wife's thesis and the result was so beautiful that after a bit of tweaking, we had it printed and framed it. Thanks!

The Productive Uncomfortability of Worship... When I was in junior high or high school, I memorized Gal 2:20 (at camp, to a song which I still remember no less): "I have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me, and gave Himself up for me." And even though I memorized that verse 25 years ago I think I can honestly say that it's only in the last couple of months that I've really begun to understand it. I had always read that verse as one of those "theological reality" pieces that describe the "essence" of who we are as followers of Jesus. We are the ones who have been identified with the death (and resurrection) of Jesus. Cool- got it. Not by my works, as he tells the Galatians. But by Jesus' work. Got it. But what if Paul isn't speaking (just) theologically? What if he's speaking experientially? What if this thought, written probably 20 years after he began, describes not just the reality of what happened to Paul when he started following Jesus-...
