    • This new technology presents wild new possibilities for attractional church ministry—and raises some challenging questions, as well.

Or is this just the ultimate elevation of the "rock star pastor"?

    • Really, seriously, what are we supposed to say about this?


      What can we say about a God who asks a father to sacrifice his son? What can we say about a father who agrees? How do we not turn this into further violence by saying God later does the same thing to God’s own son, except without the providing-an-alternate-thing-to-slaughter bit?

    • If we could ask God for just one thing, it'd be this: We want superpowers like people in the Bible had.




      Is that too much to ask? We could do a lot with our powers, some of it good. So why not? It used to happen quite a bit, the Bible is full of people who God infused with powers that would put most of the Marvel and DC lineup to shame.
