Reading through it and the forum, it's done by some of the same folks who brought you LandoverBaptistChurch.com and MissPoppy.com. Another stab and 'funnymentalism' from some of the reprobate who KNOW they're reprobate and glory in it.....<BR/><BR/>Good post, Phil. As always. :) Your recent posts and your boss' recent broadcasts along with a recent experience have inspired (no, really inspired, not <I>theopneustos</I>) a blog entry I made recently called <A HREF="http://www.theologicallycorrect.com/webmaster/blogs/index.php?p=173&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1" REL="nofollow">Discernment, Doxology, The Deity of Christ and eDating.</A> In a nutshell, I've been floating around on eHarmony.com and it's been interesting how many of the folks on there (women) who've said that their main life influence was OPRAH. Professing evangelical women. My delete button got some exercise with their profiles in my in-box. IMO, it shows an extreme LACK of discernment if your major life influence comes from a person whose entire life philosophy is built on anti-God, anti-Christian principles which presuppose the autonomy of man. And it's these same philosophies that have lead to seeker-sensitive churches, eBiblezines for teens and other evanjellyfish fads over the years.<BR/><BR/>*sigh*<BR/><BR/>Maranatha.BlackCalvinist aka G.R.A.C.E.

You know, short hair, suit and tie, clean cut. <BR/><BR/>Now, I like some Christian Contemporary music, and I do not eschew those that adopt cultural idiosyncrasies in a missions environment. There is some room for legitimate application here. But I find a lot of it is just people that enjoy their earrings, or tattoos, or whatever and use the "reach them" meme as a covering for their lifestyle choices that have nothing to do with "reaching" anyone.<BR/><BR/>Even Jesus gets into the act, at least <A HREF="http://www.catholicshopper.com/products/inspirational_sport_statues.html" REL="nofollow">these guys</A> are trying to portray him as such.<BR/><BR/>And then of course there is <A HREF="http://hometown.aol.co.uk/buddychristintl/" REL="nofollow">this classic</A>.Away From The Brinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437744242086239050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1128110131869753752005-09-30T12:55:00.000-07:002005-09-30T12:55:00.000-07:00I didn't make the cut this time either!Sad.

I think missionary strategizing (and theologizing) became an unwitting enabler of this, and when American Evangelicals took the energy of Wesley, the appeal of Spurgeon and ran it through the Finney machine....you got something vewy vewy bad.<BR/><BR/>Now....you really do have evangelical culture running a group of strange operations.<BR/><BR/>1) About 2-3 years behind any trend, here come evangelicals, doing it for Jesus.<BR/><BR/>2) They have developed the ability to tolerate ANYTHING if done for Jesus.<BR/><BR/>3) Highly enculturated Christian SUBCULTURES- like TBN, Mountain Holiness folks, Prophecy types, etc etc.- are often really bizarre...and no one is allowed to say so. I have no problem with bizarre. Jesus loves bizarre. Some of my reaction is just my culture. But bizaare is still bizarre.Michael Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341176614241094480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1128085809176106162005-09-30T06:10:00.000-07:002005-09-30T06:10:00.000-07:00Just for fun, I attempted the whole blogspotting c...Just for fun, I attempted the whole blogspotting concept a few weeks back, and what I came up with was a list of links that had your blog in every other link. I thought "hmmm.. if I post this, Phil will think I'm vainly attempting a blogspotting lure!" I posted it anyway, I thought it was funny, the most blogspotting links I had, were from here.<BR/><BR/>Oh well, it could be worse, the majority of links could have been coming from the Saddleback fan club or something.Carla Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395062089776262435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1128083147747294152005-09-30T05:25:00.000-07:002005-09-30T05:25:00.000-07:00Heh, heh.

More like encouraging doubts about trends and the things of this world...<BR/><BR/>Actually, I got a little concerned that I might have my definition of "redoubtable" wrong, and so I went to the dictionary. Here it is (from the Concise Oxford Dictionary - The Queen's English, which Spurgeon would have used):<BR/><BR/>REDOUBTABLE a. (Of opponent, warrior, controversialist, etc.) formidable.<BR/><BR/>Now, the next term in the dictionary really puts an interesting light on the word, as applied to you:<BR/><BR/>REDOUBTED a. (arch.) Dreaded.<BR/><BR/>In short, I'm glad you're on our side.
