For some reason I call Jackson “skid” all of the time. I saw this and thought I should find out what a “skid” really is. I love my Skid, but not the real ones. Definition below.
“Canadian definition: Commonly used to refer to someone who stopped evolving, and bathing, during the 80’s hair band era. Generally can be found wearing AC/DC muscle shirts, leather jackets, and sporting a mullet. The term “skid” is in part derived from “skid row”, which is both a band enjoyed by those the term refers to, as well as their address.”

Great Band, great video.
Lately I have been challenged to figure out my faith for myself. It’s so easy to read a book, get caught up in it, and then want to base your beliefs on what that author has to say without really thinking it through for yourself. I’m guilty.
This is one of those topics I have been working through. I’ll just let you read the article for yourself. I have a feeling many of my friends in the ministry will disagree with this article and where I stand. But, that’s alright.
Here is a little bit of the article. Follow the link for the whole shebang.
Please, please, please, if you are enamored with the New Gospel or anything like it, consider if you are really being fair with your fellow Christians in always throwing them under the bus. Consider if you are preaching like Jesus did, who called people, not first of all to a way of life, but to repent and believe (Mark 1:15). And as me and my friends consider if we lack the necessary patience and humility to speak tenderly with non-Christians, consider if your God is a lopsided cartoon God who never takes offense at sin (because sin is more than just un-neighborliness) and never pours out wrath (except for the occasional judgment against the judgmental). Consider if you are giving due attention to the cross and the Lamb of God who died there to take away the sin of the world. Consider if your explanation of the Christian message sounds anything like what we hear from the Apostles in the book of Acts when they engage the world.
This is no small issue. And it is not just a matter of emphasis. The New Gospel will not sustain the church. It cannot change the heart. And it does not save. It is crucial, therefore, that our evangelical schools, camps, conferences, publishing houses, and churches can discern the new gospel from the old.

I just picked this vinyl up at my church’s clothing depot. Who in the world would get rid of a treasure like this?
Sorry if I have posted this before, but it brings a smile to my face every time.
I would take this exit.
