On a Mission: Worship SHIFT: Why the Word “Blended” Scares Me as a Worship Style

http://hibbles.blogspot.com/2010/02/worship-shift-why-word-blended-scares.html

The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny Him with their lifestyle.". Wednesday, February 03, 2010. Worship SHIFT: Why the Word “Blended” Scares Me as a Worship Style. Churches suffer for many reasons. In some cases, they are subject to moral failure, to stubbornness or to attacks from the devil. But, nothing kills a church or ministry faster than the greatest devil of them all: ambiguity. 8221; and the con...

On a Mission: On Location

http://hibbles.blogspot.com/2009/02/on-location.html

The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny Him with their lifestyle.". Wednesday, February 11, 2009. Fair warning: I'm re-reading the book " The Shaping of Things to Come. One of my favorites, and many of the concepts of these posts will be mental nuggets, agreement or argument with that book, even though I may not directly reference it. Saying is that the location of the church determines its missional natu...

Worship SHIFT: Piano As the Golden Calf. Yes, its all true! This is something Ive also observed over the last decade and youve described it dead on. Great post. Well said Mark. Im going to Twitter your blog if thats okay. Its hard in my situation where I am extremely limited as far as talented players. Lat...

http://hibbles.blogspot.com/2009/02/and-oscar-goes-to.html

The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny Him with their lifestyle.". Monday, February 23, 2009. And the Oscar Goes To. So, I'm watching the Oscars on TV and it strikes me - movies and churches have a lot in common. Bare with me here. You ever notice how all these no-name tech people and foreign film directors get awards for the first 2/3 of the night and nobody really cares? For many people, church. My wif...

On a Mission: December 2007

http://hibbles.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html

The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny Him with their lifestyle.". Monday, December 10, 2007. Postmodern Christianity: Part I. There's 25 churches in this zip code, after all! This is the "don't-let-the-door-hit-you-on-the-way-out" approach. In fact, it might even have a nice ecumenical face: we're all part of the body of Christ, but this part has its own way of doing things. They have a point. Many peop...

On a Mission: WORSHIP SHIFT: The No-Band Band

http://hibbles.blogspot.com/2010/02/worship-shift-no-band-band.html

The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny Him with their lifestyle.". Thursday, February 18, 2010. WORSHIP SHIFT: The No-Band Band. Find it or fake it. How about a drummer? Guitar players are more difficult, but the same rule from above apples - no one who can't keep a rhythm, which excludes more people than you think - rhythm is rarely learned. Can they clap on the beat - even complex beats? S is also hard...

On a Mission: November 2008

http://hibbles.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny Him with their lifestyle.". Friday, November 28, 2008. As I write this blog entry, I'm watching "The Tony Peace Gospel Hour" on TCT. I've found myself strangely drawn to TCT. Recently, asking myself the simple question: what is it about these stations that feel so wrong. Have my churches inculturated. Is there anything inherently wrong with Benny Hinn. Uneasy in wor...
