postmodern sermonizing

q: does the world need another blog?
a: no

q: so, what is the purpose of this one?
a: i have been feeling rather constrained by the traditional sermon format. in any given week, i read a couple hundred pages of theology, biblical critisism, news, and devotions and condense it down to a 15 minute sermon. i fear that the density of this approach causes indigestion to the hearers of the word in the congregation. i hope that this blog can serve as an area where, rather than my role being one who emparts 15 minutes of truth, i can take on the more biblical road of one who is journeying with others as we seek God's will for our community.

q: say again
a: this blog is a log of texts read, sites visited, thoughts thougt, and alleys not pursued in the sermon preparation process.
