I mean, Jesus never used creative story-telling or...oh, wait...never mind. Well, there’s just no room for anything but straight-talk when it comes to thoughts on ministry or God.

I sometimes feel like people cannot understand the place of satire and edginess in provoking thought. Elisha, Thanks.

You have a long way to go, friend. You have no idea how close or how far I am from God. And you're arrogant even to suggest you are onto something. Pathetic. Yes, I am mocking...but not the Savior, but the snoopy, pompous ones who think they have a corner on Jesus. Dave (#3),

You come across as if you are mocking the Holy, Holy, Holy Saviour that I know. Stand back and do a reassessment, you may find out that you are not as close as you think you are. Why not look at what God the Father says of Jesus Christ, and what the Son says of the Father. Always sense the need to have an edge, huh?

I like the way you framed the main point–the substituting of nice morality instead of a robust Gospel. That tragic exchange has devastated the virility of the church.

Why are we so critical of Cheap Grace? Why are we so fearful of the Power of the Gospel to create antinomian chaos? Everytime I hear morality being preached substituting for the Gospel I turn to Christ and hear him laughing and inviting me to that Banquet! Peace.
