Our church had a wonderful carol service – except for someone's attempt to "improve" upon Joy to the World by omitting a few verses about Jesus and interposing banal repetitive bleatings about the excitement of being excited! </p> <p>SURELY Christmas is the ONE time of the year when we can focus on Jesus, instead of our precious feelings about our precious feelings. SURELY the carols that have been sung for several hundred years, and as we have sung them all our lives, are GOOD ENOUGH as they are! Surely Jesus is a worthy enough topic to deserve the full attention of a song, AT LEAST for one week of the year!</p> <p>Turns out the culprit was Chris Tomlin. He could not leave well enough alone, but had to “tag” a masterpiece by spray-painting his banal, inane, GODLESS graffiti across it. </p> <p>The deity of humanism is humanity, in its capacity for religious feelings. Humanism is a totally immanent faith, with no transcendent dimension. The old carols and hymns of the church were about God, about Jesus, about doctrine, and about real-world implications. </p> <p>Trite humanistic ditties are about me, precious me, and how I FEEL at the moment. </p> <p>And now, this greatest of Christmas carols, this exuberant and defiant anthem of the event that changed history forever, is no longer focused on Jesus, and what He did, but on a new deity, me and how I feel. </p> <p>O please, on the day that commemorates the ultimate miracle, the Word made flesh, PLEASE, on THIS day, could we sing about JESUS? We can sing about our oh, so precious selves and our oh, so precious religious experiences the other 51 weeks of the year! </p> http://www.kpic.org/forum/topic.php?id=35#post-52 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 23:54:18 +0000 Cole 52@http://www.kpic.org/forum/ <p>Hey guys!

Due to circumstances beyond her control, KPIC member is having to give up apartment and be out by the end of February. She is able and willing to help out with child care, elder care, etc., and of course housekeeping chores and cooking. Monthly expense amounts negotiable, although resources at this time are extremely limited - which is part of the problem.

As I would put it, "It is a sin to render unto Caesar that which is God's -- the children entrusted to our care." </p> <p>All education is religious education. Who is supreme in your universe, Christ or Caesar? Your decision about the education of your children loudly proclaims your answer to that question. </p> http://www.kpic.org/forum/topic.php?id=27#post-40 Mon, 29 Nov 2010 17:02:20 +0000 rjr.fan 40@http://www.kpic.org/forum/ <p>"More like a Victoria Secrets than a sports bar."

It has been a prayer burden for some years, now; <em>what do we need to do to make KPIC a man-friendly church?</em></p> <p>If we can engage the men, the ladies will get engaged. </p> <p>I remember how masculine the Jesus Freak guys tended to be, especially in contrast to the wimpy "church Christians," who were the products of a popular christian culture that confused spirituality with femininity. </p> http://www.kpic.org/forum/topic.php?id=26#post-38 Sat, 27 Nov 2010 19:53:55 +0000 rjr.fan 38@http://www.kpic.org/forum/ <p>It appears as though my concerns have been taken note of.

At one point, her band deserts her, and "goes secular." It's easy -- "All you have to do is replace the word 'Jesus' with 'Baby.'" </p> <p>A godly scholar, Leon Podles, "wrote the book" on the feminization of the Western church. In fact, that's the title: "The Church Impotent: The Feminization of Christianity." Somehow, Christianity has a reputation for being fey, effete, simpering, suitable for "old ladies of all ages and both sexes." Even our own KPIC campus ministries report having twice as many gals as guys participating.</p> <p>Podles lays the blame at the feet of Bernard of Clarvaux, who applied a corporate metaphor (the church as the Bride of Christ) to the individual worshiper (all of us guys must be sweet little wifeys for Jesus). </p> <p>Could we perhaps reduce the ratio of "Jesus is my girlfriend" worship music? Perhaps add a little testosterone, and some brains, to celebrate the objective wonders of the attributes of God?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://www.kpic.org/forum/topic.php?id=15#post-24 Wed, 04 Mar 2009 14:37:44 +0000 mcatron 24@http://www.kpic.org/forum/ <p>Tired of long-term gym contracts?
