"Membership in the family of God is neither inconsequential or something to be casually ignored. The church is God's agenda for the world. Jesus said, "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The church is indestructable and will exist for eternity. It will outlive this universe, and so will your role in it."

I don't have many original thoughts, so I thought I'd post this one that I stole from Jared's Facebook status:
The silversmiths and idol-makers rioted in Ephesus over lost business not because Christians picketed and protested their industry but because the spread of the Christian faith meant that people had tasted and seen that the Lord is good and therefore just lost their taste for idols.I'm neither a culture warrior or a culture war pacifist. I'm not sure what the right balance is.
But I think the quote above is an excellent observation, and something to ponder . . . deeply.

You are right, Bill. Something to ponder deeply.
I'll say it again, WOW.
This is pure awesomeness.
