Warm Fuzzy to Start the Week
We heard this story from Rick Reilly's Sports Illustrated column as part of a great sermon on Sunday. It made us cry, twice. Read it for some much needed heart warming.
Walmart and french fries are not the only things to supersize in the last decade. Churches have gone mega, Christian businesses are booming and crashing, you can track the number of souls you have saved on your iPhone, and celebrity pastors regularly hold court on the New York Times bestseller list. Sacred or secular, do these labels have any postmodern significance? Is there a genuine cultural distinction or is it a case branding with different logos?
