Why Bother?Genesis 17-18 - Will a son be born to a man 100 years old and a woman the age of 90?
Abraham gave the best of what he had . . . Sarah laughed . . .
God is NOT done with us and is continually asking us to birth new, irrational and unexpected things.
What are we being asked to birth?Gladys Burrill, 92

21C Culture ShiftsAuthority and “t”ruth:
from a single source of authority to an open source of discernment.
eg . . . how we explore and discern Scripture, politics, culture, worship, decision making, etc. changes.
SO WHAT? The church must figure integrate new ways of worshipping, discerning and understanding authority.
