There are exciting things going on in our church these days. Much ado about the "tribe known as Christians" (Jewish historian Josephus' phrase, which I really like) and how we are to interact with our world.

One thing we'd better be ready for is how those we are going to interact with look at us. An excellent article from GQ magazine (that I know has been around a bit) worth everyone's time to read can be found through K Life Ministries resource page. It's a long article, but you won't regret reading it.

Just to get your curiosity flowing, here's the tag before the article: WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?
BUT MORE, IMPORTANT, WHAT WERE JESUS' FINTNESS SECRETS? IF YOU WERE ONE OF THE GROWING MILLIONS OF AMERICANS LIVING IN THE MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR CHRISTIAN ALTERNACULTURE—IN WHICH EVERYTHING IN MAINSTREAM CULTURE GETS CLONED AND THEN BLEACHED OF "SINFUL" CONTENT—YOU'D KNOW. WALTER KIRN SPENDS SEVEN STRANGE DAYS WALKING IN THE SHOES OF THE FAITHFUL.

Just a warning for those of you who don't get The Simpson's view of our Tribe, either: The article is a satire. And it stings when it's on target. Pay attention, class. And take notes...our peaceful "alternaculture" is at risk. Thank God.
