A New Member to the Family!

I (Jonathan) haven't discussed this with Charley yet, but I am sure he will be on board. I am trying to expand the 12enough network with other like-minded thinkers just so we don't feel so lonely. So I will start plugging other blogs, podcasts, etc. I'm going to leave it up to Charley and me to make decisions so the criteria will be subjective and anything but consistant. heh

With all that said, let me offer to you our first blog in the 12enough network: Revdrod

Admittedly, he needs to work on the title, but the contant is pretty good. In his three most recent posts Darin uses one of my favorite theologians: McClendon. He also uses Hauerwas and pulls in the NCAA. That is pretty darn impressive. You will also find a good investigation of scripture - something that I admit I am not very strong with. So take a look at Darin's blog, leave him comments, and let me know if there is anything or anyone you would like Charley and me to consider adding to our 12enough network.

There is your plug, Darin, now you have to keep posting.

It Won't Work, Will It?

Jonathan is considering a different approach to evangelism (outreach). He may actually invite people to approach him - weird, right? Is evangelism something that pastors should be doing? What is evangelism; what is the purpose of evangelism?

In his blog Jonathan does not say anything about sharing Christ, but instead inviting people to pray with him (or offering his prayers to others). Is this evangelism or is it a cheap counseling service? How can he be assured that God will be experienced by whoever he is talking to?

Hmm...

Tell him what you think.
