So I’ve been thinking a fair bit about possibly the central thing we do as pastors – at least in terms of time spent on any single thing (research, preparation and delivery). We would take a half-day as a preaching team to work through a message, then I would take a day to write it and then about another half day spent marinating on it before delivery. So all up we’re looking at about fifteen hours of preparation and delivery for one message. Which I think is probably about average.

Recently I read Pagan Christianity by Viola and Barna, which was a really good read and instrumental in helping the church move beyond its institutionalization. They claim that preaching was never central to the church until a couple hundred years after Christ and really came into primacy with Luther who claimed it was the central part of the sunday service. He changed the term “priest” to “preacher”. Understandably preaching the word for Luther, who was putting reformed theology into the hands of hungry hordes of protesting catholics departing the catholic church in utter ignorance, was of utmost importance.

Viola claims that preaching in the NT was only done by apostles – church planters/workers in the process of establishing churches and on special occasions (Solomon’s temple etc.). They also claim that the office of Pastor is not an office, but a function and pastors didn’t preach.

I kinda disagree. I think pastors did preach because I believe Timothy was a pastor (Viola suggests he was “apostolic” because he obviously wasn’t an apostle, but his theory about pastors would fall over) and Timothy was urged by Paul to preach. Furthermore in Acts where it says the early disciples met from house to house and in the temple, would suggest it was a weekly occurrence.

Here’s where I get really creative now. Try and keep up.

Public teaching was done in the synagogue for centuries, so was embedded in Jewish culture. Furthermore, rhetoric was one of the most popular of entertainment of the day among the Greeks. Rhetoricians were public speakers who became famous and well paid for speaking eloquently (subject matter was inconsequential). So culturally in Judea, public speaking was the best form of communication and entertainment – infotainment would be a good word to describe it in today’s parlance. So it seems Jesus and his followers were using the best and most modern forms of communication that was most effective for their culture and the people of the day – preaching and teaching.

Translate that into today’s culture which is neither Greek nor Jewish. Preaching like we live in 100 A.D. in Judea simply isn’t cutting it. I even had trouble remembering what I preached the week before let alone thinking anyone else remembered (and I’m a good preacher). Which is why I resorted to The Big Idea which is simply one singular idea that I wanted people to leave the building with (there were other reasons to adopt it, primarily to use a preaching team and being able to keep a multi-site church moving in the same direction). I mean, how many sermons have you heard and actually implemented? It’s a completely modernist idea to think that simply giving people information will change their lives. We all know it doesn’t work like that, yet we continue doing it because it’s part of the consumer contract we have with our congregants (search this blog for consumerism).

Researchers on adult eduction have found that while teaching children “by rote” – in other words, I tell-you listen-you learn works, it doesn’t work with adults. And because preachers have all been to school and know nothing about educating adults, we use the only model we’ve known. Adult education doesn’t work like that. In fact when it comes down to it, experts concede that adult educators can only “facilitate” another adults learning. I won’t go into all the reasons for that. But bottom line, you can’t teach someone anything until they are ready to learn it. Kinda sounds like that old chinese saying “when the student is ready, the master will appear” – except we’re not masters… but you get the point.

The other thing that complicates the issue is that we live in the information age. No-one knows how vast the internet is. It’s not measurable. That’s how much information is out there. I can download the best preachers in the world hours after they deliver the sermon. And they’re way better communicators that you or I. I can download theology, christian books, magazines and blogs. I can even check the lexicons and commentaries while you’re preaching to see if your exegesis and hermeneutics are up to scratch. So that’s what we’re up against. So if we’re going to trade in information, I guarantee you, your congregation can get better information any day of the week.

So where does that leave us? It leaves us reaching for the best communication forms available to us for today’s culture and not simply dishing out information because adults don’t learn like that (and neither do you by the way so don’t be surprised that no-one else does either), but rather facilitating an experience. How’s that for radical? I’ll let you think about that for a bit, and I’ll unpack my conclusions later.

It’s intense. Actually it depends on the day, and the mood of the owner (Krystalynn Miles) and her hot lady friends that keep the place hoppin. This is for the naughty sort of avatar. Most of the time it’s just a bunch of perverted people discussing most harmless thing.. though somehow a butt plug always gets tossed into the mix. It’s a pretty close-knit group, so it may take a few visits to really experience its awesome. The girls often grace the crowd with “intense” live performances (the kind perverted people really like to hear) And fear not ladies… gentleman perform too. I have yet to witness one.. but if you’re looking for people who like to get on over voice.. this is the group to join. Entry is 500… which is about 2 and half bucks for interactive porn. Not bad.. not bad at all.

Search “Vocal Intensity” in the group search. Make sure to click your mature and adult content boxes… while “mature” may be debatable this group is definitely “adult”. Me-ow!

Two voices, one male and one female, overheard on a plane:

"I think everyone’s asleep, let’s go."

"This one’s empty…no-one is looking… you go in first."

"It’s a bit cramped – let me sit down!"

"Have you got the condom? Quick – put it on."

Sniff, sniff, "Ah perfume – you think of everything!"

"This is great…" (long sigh)

Static on the loud speaker, then a new voice: "This is the captain speaking, to those two people in the rear toilet. We know what you’re doing, and it is expressly forbidden by this airline’s regulations. Now hear this: put out those cigarettes and take the condom off the smoke detector."

Do you ever have moments where you step back and reflect, “Wow, my kids are going to have memories of the holidays that are done this way, with me as the mother.” It sounds like a very obvious statement, but there is something really strange about it, when you allow yourself to fully inhabit this reality. We all grew up with our own family traditions, and we associate the holidays with how we were raised to celebrate them. But as adults, it is not always possible, or even desirable, to recreate or continue these family traditions when we now have in-laws, distance, divorce, or other factors that change the way we do things. So I stop this Thanksgiving and take a look around me: this is the way, so far at least, my kids will remember this holiday.

And I am the adult in this picture. Somehow when I think about Thanksgiving, I still picture myself as the child, sitting in the backseat for the long drive to my grandmother’s house, running around with my cousins and putting on plays, eating lots of dessert and passing out on the way home. I am lucky to have nice memories of this holiday, and I will always treasure them. But now it’s my kids’ turn. It is truly amazing to try to step into my children’s shoes– see the world through their eyes. Wow, I think, they are just taking this all in, going along with whatever plans we have made, finding their place in the way of things. What an incredible experience, to be a child. You never know what’s going to happen next, not really. You understand some, but not all, of what goes on around you, and while you can’t articulate exactly how you feel, you know when you feel complete and happy.

Maybe it’s not so different from being an adult after all.

The difference, though, is that now we do have some choices, which, of course, come with many responsibilities. My intent is to not get lost in all these responsibilities, but to still feel the wonder I felt as a child, realizing again and again that, wow, we are really the actors on somebody else’s stage, not only the central character of our own.

Not only are you women who decide to go Lesbian/Bi-sexual because some man broke your heart impostors but you’re stupid as well. Running into a woman’s arm because you’re probably the reason why he left you isn’t going to make you feel better to the least. You’re being laughed at heterosexual and homosexual women alike.

If you aren’t naturally attracted to females you’re a hoax, an idiot if you will. It pisses me off for a female to tell me that they’re trying females out because some man cheated on them with her best friend. Honestly, check the company you keep don’t go running to a chick like things will get better. Women cheat as well and they are in fact more conniving and drama driven; I should know, majority of my family are females.

You’re really stupid telling someone you’re bitter towards all men because of one fuck-up. If you think you’re getting back at all men because of one fuck-up by going Lesbian then you’re pathetic. Go ahead and try to convince yourself that a woman is what you want and you’ll be sadly mistaken.

The hypocrisy of it all is getting a lesbian that dresses and act like a dude. I honestly had to laugh at that. Getting a woman that wants to be a man isn’t doing anything for your self-esteem.  You’re not being true to yourself getting yourself involved in something that you have no experience in all because of some man kicked you in the twat. I’ll never understand why a woman would go from straight to lesbian in 2.2 nano seconds because of a man. Remember what you’re getting yourself into; they bleed once/twice a month just like you do. Unless they went that far and got a sex change; then again, is that even possible yet?

Its a bunch of hypocritical shit going on with lesbianism. Especially those that get sex changes. Its not those that get the sex changes its the ones that fancy themselves with someone who has gotten a sex change. My point is, why leave a real dick for a fake one? It goes in the same hole(s). Okay I’m done, I’m getting sick to my stomach.

Ok so I’m not a fan of Sade’s yet but I havent heard her music to disprove her, however that wasn’t the reason why I posted this. I was browsing one of my regular sites when I came across this picture, at first I thought it was art then I found out it was an album cover, instantly I loved it. This picture is the cover art for Sade’s new LP ”Soldier of Love”. I havent heard anything from it yet but it’s due out on February 8th 2010, I’ll be on the look out now as I love this.
