As I do a little spring cleaning this afternoon, I
thought I’d pass on a few links I’d found interesting.
These are things I thought I might someday do a blog post on, but at this point…the
odds aren't looking too promising.
First, here’s an article on contextualization
entitled, “Don’t Throw Out Your Nice Suit Just Yet.” It argues that just because you’re reaching one “demographic slice of the
current generation” with trendy (fill-in-the-blank) church trappings, it doesn't mean you’re reaching an entire generation—much less
those of other generations.
In an increasingly diverse culture, each decision
we make seems to “target” one demographic and “alienate” another. There are
important ramifications for gospel ministry as we try to help one strive for a unity that not only
goes beyond our shared preferences
but demands we die to our insistence church be done our way.
Second, here is a crazy website many of you have
probably seen before. If you like graphs, you’ll love this site. http://knowmore.washingtonpost.com/
Some of them are not only colorful but enlightening....
Some of them are...well, some of them are about facial hair....
Finally, Song Lyrics in Chart Form also uses graphs, but
in a slightly less useful but pretty funny way.
Here are some examples:
Hope you found that enlightening. Have a great week!
