Welcome to ISI

I won't be watching any films over the next few days, as I am in Iowa, attending a conferance called Iron Sharpens Iron. I will refrain from making any Iowa jokes. I did some reading in the car today, knocking out Basic Christian Leadership, and was honestly unimpressed. It felt like a bit of a sermon on not worrying about methodologies, because the Gospel is foolishness anyway. I have trouble swallowing that, and I hope I am wrong on what he was saying.

On a brighter note, Ken Daughters spoke on a biblical theology of change. While I don't agree with everything he said, he pointed out that we too often consider traditions in methodology as biblically based, when we have huge amounts of flexability. He said that "Churches that are dying have either changed something that they cannot change, or they refuse to change something that we can change." I could not agree more.
