Popped in on the BodSquad tonight as they were watching Rob Bell and Megaphone Man. Incredible teaching that drives home something very dear to my heart. Rob was talking about the preacher man on the corner with his megaphone telling people to repent. Jake experienced this last year on campus at the UofA. Preacher guy yelling at students walking by... looking like a fool. Him I mean. He became a joke. IRRELEVANT. Shame. Another blow to our cause. People are sick and tired of being preached at and told they are going to hell. The reality is most, at least according to polls, believe in hell and don't really want to go. They also believe in God. The problem is that legalistic religion creates huge barriers between these folks and God. Let's try a fresh approach... Let your life be the megaphone and your message be love and grace. We'll let the Holy Spirit do the convicting and rely on God for results. We'll work like it all depends on us and have faith that it all depends on God. Love and grace... LOVE AND GRACE...LOVE AND GRACE...LOVE AND GRACE...
