A quote seen at Challies:
As to breach of unity, nothing has ever more largely promoted the union of the true than the break with the false. —C.H. Spurgeon
I’ve thought about expanding that into a blog post but haven’t had time this week. But there is a lot there in that quote.
Seen after a series of links — I can’t remember what led to it — but this article is very insightful:
Not About the Dream. Veggie Tales creator Phil Vischer realized, “I looked back at the previous 10 years and realized I had spent 10 years trying to convince kids to behave Christianly without actually teaching them Christianity” and “We’re drinking a cocktail that’s a mix of the Protestant work ethic, the American dream, and the gospel. And we’ve intertwined them so completely that we can’t tell them apart anymore. Our gospel has become a gospel of following your dreams and being good so God will make all your dreams come true. It’s the Oprah god. So I had to peel that apart. I realized I’m not supposed to be pursuing impact, I’m supposed to be pursuing God. And when I pursue God I will have exactly as much impact as He wants me to have.”
A sign seen at our old town this week:
If you can’t make it out, the words in the red section say, “Meet Zombies from The Walking Dead.” I don’t know how safe it is to have zombies at your gun and knife show!

I saw the Veggie Tales article too and it made a big impression on me. Too often we confuse morality with Christianity, but there’s a big difference…i.e. Jesus.
Thanks for sharing extra links (you’ve inspired me to do it a little more again). A lot of times I’ll see something during the week, but won’t take time to read it, but by the weekend, I’ll catch it again here and will hop over to read it.
Oh, I am SO glad you linked up to the Phil Vischer article. I had heard about it, but had not yet read it (and wanted to). That is an excellent article. Definitely inspired some thoughts there!
