Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, that is. For those who may not yet be aware, that’s the church that’s pastored by Rob “Jesus’ Dad Was Larry!” Bell, author of Velvet Elvis and Sex God, and Exhibit A for what’s wrong with the EmergENT side of the ECM.
Yes, yes, yes…I know, he’s not really Emergent.
Because he says he’s not.

I didn’t think people in our world had a problem being creative?! An issue to consider might be using our creativity in ways that glorify God and spread the gospel. Teaching people about creativity is kind of like the logic employed in our elementary and pre-elementary education these days in teaching young kids social skills. They are born with those, its their parents that have lost them… Good links Mike!
