Thoughts bouncing around in my head that may turn into posts someday when I have time.
- Are we (Christians) more concerned with the unrighteousness of others than our own self-righteousness?
- Have we had too simplistic, black-and-white view of the world?
- Do we teach a one-dimensional understanding of the Bible instead of a holistic and profound understanding?
- There seems to be a movement among emerging Christians that there needs to be a maturity in facing the historic and social realities of our "Christian" past. A past that includes anti-Semitism, racism, apartheid, slavery, attempted genocide of native peoples just to name a few.
- Do Christian Boomers (42-60) and Elders (61+) really get that the emerging generations - Mosaics and Busters (18-41) - are growing up in a different culture? With different influences? different pressures? different values? on race? religion? politics? economy? sex? war? money? empire? environment? social justice? the future?
- Why do some Christian Boomers freak-out at the word emerging?
- Do we really get that as Christians we have no liberty to preserve our holiness by escaping from the world or to sacrifice our holiness by conforming to the world?
- How do you create a Christian counterculture without alienating yourself from the very culture you should seek to redeem?
- Is my motivation to redeem the culture in which I live, work and play or do I find myself condemning it?
- Is there really a "mainstream" culture in America? Or isn't it made up more of a mosaic of subcultures?
- Are we more concerned about protecting ourselves from sin then the effects of sin in the lives of others?
