Teens against popular culture
August 25, 2007

One part concert, one part Christian revival, the Aquire the Fire rallies seek to “stage a reverse revolution” against secular popular culture. They have the pull of headlining rock concerts, drawing thousands of people regardless of the region of the country, the month of year or the day of the week.

The Episcopal Church has gone crazy. We’ve become pigs who roll around in our own mud, and when we’ve finished rolling here, we roll there. Perhaps eat a little spiritual food, and then wallow back to the mud. Talk about God, mention Jesus like he’s our best friend, and act exactly like he said not to act.

The wedding itself isn’t what matters; it’s the marriage that comes after that does. But we’ve got practice, now. We’re comfortable. We influence each other. Invisibly. We finish each other’s sentences, and we have a reasonable shot at having 50 years together.
Honest experience

Better just to smell a flower in the garden . . . than to have an unauthentic experience of a much higher value. Better to honestly enjoy the sunshine or some light reading than to claim to be in contact with something that one is not in contact with at all.
