courage...

I'm not sure I have ever seen a late-night comedian show this much repentance... or courage.

I saw this when it happened. What an honest story, and it almost sad it is so rare.

Yeah, I converted from Conan to Craig Ferguson about 9 months ago. He used his monologue as a eulogy for his father, who had just passed. He's really funny, but I love a guy who isn't afraid to NOT be funny.

Also, check out the video of Ferguson cutting off Bill Maher mid-interview for making light of Michael Jackson and child molestation.

Question for you Southern Baptists out there... Okay- I recognize that I tend to defend the Emerging Church a lot... as well as critique the status quo in American Evangelicalism. I do so for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that while flawed, the emerging church is important. It represents an important voice in the never-ending conversation of how we contextualize the Gospel and live faithfully as followers of Jesus in our day and age... questions which others, among them some prominent Southern Baptists seem to be actively resisting. I maintain that in a more free-form movement like the emerging church, I can actively disagree with my fellow emerging brothers and sisters, not necessarily buy everything they say, and yet still claim a seat at the "emerging table." It seems to me that when you talk about things like denominations or political parties, however, the freedom to do something like that is fairly restricted, if not absolutely gone. In other words, how does one continue, day after day, week after week, year after year continue to belong to any group which stands for the opposite of what one stands for? For example, I ceased to be a Republican (I'm now a "no party...

Hide the beer the (SB) Pastor's here... I want to thank everyone who has participated in the comments in yesterday's blog post-even those who (strongly!) disagreed with me. Pretty amazing thread of comments. Please understand that when I push back, it's not personal... I feel strongly about this as an issue (legalism being written into the core resolutions and practices of one of the largest denominations in America), so.. Just for the record: I'm not against rules. (I'm a parent, after all!) I'm against making anything a condition for leadership in any church structure that I can't see clearly laid out in Scripture. And the absolute, undeniable fact is that the Scriptures not only do not mandate abstaining from alcohol for the one following Christ, but Jesus and other New Testament writers both by word and deed commended the practice. It's not a "cross" to give up alcohol so I can be a (funded) pastor in the SBC or in denominational leadership- it's a ridiculous man-made rule with no basis in Scripture. So this issue for me is less about alcohol and more about how a HUGE denomination is misusing power. In Colossians 2, Paul says "So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or...
