Two books read in three weeks? Yes, it is some kind of record. And this book is not your typical CC history rehash book. You could say that this book goes B.C. – Before Chuck. Little joke there, very little. There is some great stuff in this book. There are 10 chapters. 1-8 are all about everything before CC. Chapter 9 is about the transition into and first few years of CC. Chapter 10 is a great series of nuggets of wisdom from Chuck gleaned from God’s word.

The Washington Post has a very interesting article on a new report that suggests all humans are descended from three “families”. You can head over and read it, or hang here because I’m going to walk through most of it and show how some faulty thinking and bad assumptions lead to bad science and conclusions.

As I may have said in the past, I don’t like to read. I’m a slow reader and easily distracted. So I try to read stuff that is good, stuff I can use. How do I find it? By asking others who are readers. In this case the recommendation comes from Sarah Yardley who runs the show over at Calvary Distribution. She did not disappoint. The book is called, Ministry in the Image of God – The Trinitarian Shape of Christian Service by Stephen Seamands. Had I known the denominational background of the author in advance I might not have even bothered. Sometimes our own prejudices, justified or not, get in the way of God trying to say something because He sure has something to say through this book. I imagine the Lord had the same problem with Peter. I guess I’m in good company!

This is more of one of those funny observations than anything else.
Coming from a primarily Calvary Chapel background and hearing about the history of the moment, I would have to characterize the vibe of things as gentle. After all, it was mostly a hippie generation. Peace, love, groovy, far out, right on. Just listening to Chuck Smith and his slow paced baritone voice mellowed you right out. The music reflected this. The people reflected this. The churches reflected this.
For the past year or so I’ve been listening to stuff from Acts 29. Now, this isn’t intended to be a slam of any kind on these guys or those involved, but I have to be honest about this. Everyone sounds angry.
