A Hip Intro?
The formal stuff follows, but how do I expressed this? I'm just a young man who believes that the Lord Jesus has put troubling in my soul, piercing thoughts in my mind, and a revelation in my Spirit that leads me to venture to be cruciformed.
By that I simply mean: canonically communicating , charismatically serving, critically thinking, communion receiving and community participating.
Anybody who prays in the Spirit, but prays with their mind, is my kind of person. Anyone who believes God created us, but hasn't stopped taking medications is my kind of person. Anybody who loves the learnin', but has gotta have the burnin' is my kind of person. Anybody that belives real holiness is not simply personal, but most importantly social, is my kind of person.
Anybody who is sufficiently cosmopolitan to chat and chew about Jesus in the public square of postmodernism, feminist theory, deconstruction, reconstruction, pluralism and relativism, and still hold their convictions is my kind of person. Anybody that thinks its still holy to sing Gospel before fighting oppression is my kinda person. This is just an attempt for me to broaden my horizons and conceptions of ministry (and friendship :-) and be challenged by all the great folks whose pages I have already perused on myspace. So holla at me!
