I really like the fake church sign in this article from Lark News. Thanks to Church Marketing Sucks for noticing the story.

Dialectic
One of my students (stage name Dialectic) just released a rap album. You can preview it at MySpace. Or as we hip-hoppers like to call it, MySchizzle.
How Not To Be Holy
I just read a great little meditation on holiness called Whack-a-mole and Sin Management in Leadership Journal. When I checked to see if it was online I discovered that the author has a blog.
Jesus Is Quantum
There is no observation without participation. Alternatively: there is no investigation with interaction, there is no analysis without alteration, and there is no looking without changing.

Mark Driscoll just began offering his sermons on Google Video fast food nation movie download . Great idea–they handle the storage and the bandwidth!
