This is better Re-imagining than I ever Re-imagined was possible!
Lord, PLEASE Make this Happen!"

AMEN and AMEN!
My prayer is for all Christian leaders to turn themselves and their flocks in this direction.

- Think outside of the bricks and mortar box. The Universal church has no walls, no congregational separations.
The simple, clear message of Christ is the Giving of, and the receiving of, Grace. Use all He has placed in your trust, including human logic, to share, and not scare, people with this Good News.

Since we now…

WHY SHOULD GOD BLESS AMERICA?
God bless America. That is the poorest excuse for a prayer I’ve ever heard.
Americans bark out that demand hundreds of times every minute of every day. That phrase has no humility. That phrase has no confession of need. That phrase offers no supplication.
Issuing this command to God is blasphemous.
