U2 was just on Saturday Night Live.

They played “Vertigo”, and “Sometimes you can’t make it on your own” (I called it, ask Paul). It was amazing. I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album live.

They are still the greatest rock band on earth.

That is all.

This should be interesting :)

First of all, we’ve got to learn as a church to support artists who are respectfully engaging culture with good art. I think one of the reasons the church in this country is irrelevant in a lot of circles is because our art is bad—and it’s always been a primary way of how the church has engaged with culture. Great artists can engage culture, not by getting up on a box and reading off all sorts of laws, but by making tremendous art, doing that work with excellence where the world would be intrigued and engaged with that. Nowadays, we’re not building bridges to culture. We’re building escalators up and down the floors of our own little world. We’re all just trying to get popular and secure our own little living for ourselves, and that’s not kingdom thinking. You have to get beyond all that and think, As an artist, what is my role in culture? How do the decisions I make as an artist really effect eternity? Derek Webb – Caedmon’s Call

Well, as you may guess, we made it back safely from Orlando. As expected, it was an amazing time. When was the last time YOU’VE heard A sermon about gluttony? Ya, me neither.

Well, I spoke again at The Rock in a follow up to my message on World Religions.

As with last time, I’d welcome any feedback and constructive criticism. I’m a newbie to the whole “preaching” thing.
