Overkill

So my set of Christian coasters is on its way (set of 4 for $11.95). My wife thinks they are tacky, but I told her as I held my Bible in hand, imprinted with the WWJD logo (I need the reminder), that we were going to be different from "the world". I stood there sullen in my Amazing grace laced lyric filled tie and proclaimed to my family that we were going to FROG (you know, Fully Rely on God). If we were going to see God do amazing things we have to start Praying the Prayer of Jabez (pocket sized book of course or just the bookmark). I took out my FISH labeled wallet, tightened my fish labeled belt buckle, grabbed my fish labeled coffee mug and headed to my car that, as you guessed it, is complete with the fish bumper stickers (even baby fishys for my three kids). I drove over to the Christian bookstore to get the latest 40 Days of Your Life Will Be Different After You Read My Book , A Journey Like You've Never Been On Before...Really. Then I realized that it wasn't enough to just PUSH (Pray Until Something Happens - late 90's I think) myself and my family I had to TGIF (Thank God I'm Forgiven) and change my church. So I convinced them to get all the Christian paraphernalia they could afford, because when you KNOW GOD,NO FEAR, but NO GOD, KNOW FEAR (thank God for the mid 90's complete with rockin' metallic look) and begin a new church paradigm. We were going to EMERGE (notice there is a difference between Emerging and Emergent, I have a 45 minute message on the difference, really I do) in an ORGANIC way, with a MISSIONAL heart and a PURPOSE DRIVEN structure...the answer is no longer big buildings, big crowds, house churches, traditional, contemporary (which no longer means contemporary - that means you are ony ten years behind the current rate of culture instead of the Traditional 20-30 years) we were going to be RELAVANT (monthly subscription only $3.50 a month). Get ready to download YOU VERSION for your Iphones or Droids and see God do amazing things...like He is in Asia (where they don't have any of this stuff).
