So often I have found myself lamenting over these features that are so prevalent in Christianity today. Your points rang particularly true to me - that we've replaced the Biblical role of pastor/shepherd/elder with businessman or woman ... (and the one that stings most) that "hiring" has become a surrogate for intentional recognition of, raising up and releasing of 'sons to become fathers' and 'daughters to become mothers.' Beautiful vision for the future. <br /><br />P.s. I'm in Dallas now ... if you're ever in town, please let me know. I am 15 minutes from the airport.<br /><br /> Matthew McKinneynoreply@blogger.com
