There is some heavy stuff in the blogosphere that I wish to call to your attention. First, Steve Camp presents one of the finest articles on the emergents and dealing with them that I've read yet. You can read it here, but remember to use your back arrow when you're finished to read the rest of the hot blog posts from this week.
Dan at Cerulean Sanctum, has posted 7 questions that I also believe are necessary to ask. However, IMO we need better answers than are currently being given from the emergent churches. Dan quotes the first 6 questions from another blog and then adds a 7th which he thinks is very important too. Read his entire post here.
This post at Resurgence has some of the best analysis of churches in community ministry that I've seen. It's by JD GReer and is found here.
My favorite blog, Slice of Laodicea has some good ones this week and both are pretty shocking, but you need to know what is going on out there in evangelical land. In the first post Ingrid tells us about the proliferation of sextopics in evangelical churches. And these are designed to titillate. She discuss it here.
She also predicts that actual sex will be shown on church platforms. Why would she predict this? Find out here.
And in the last post I present to you today, are the New Christian Left leaders really Marxists? This is really revealing IMO. Read it here.

Wow I had no idea. I am a abstinence educator and the truth is that most people have between 6-10 sex partners before they marry today. The problem is sexual addiction. People need more and more wierd spiritual?/new agey stimulus. Why ? Because they have too much information in their frontal lobe so they get bored to be honest. New adult christians don't know this and the people that are supposed to be teaching them either honestly don't know or they think they have to be 'hip' to reach this generation.
The folks I work with in rescue missions or teen challenge 'type' ministrys don't go this route. They fall on their face in repentence.Some may never marry. Gasp the thought. No sex ever again. I'm celebate. It's the hardest thing in the world if your single but I'm not that desperate to marry someone who carrys around that much baggage without properly looking at it and renewing their mind which is few people IMO. Sad. I forsee a day when the truly remnant/elect will be forced into hiding because of the filth and persecution. It get glimpses of it now in liberal churches. I'm the oddball.
Diane,
That quote you ascribe to me (the one that mentions Chris Rock) is not mine. I don't know where you got it from. Could you correct this, please.
Thanks,
Dan
