Happy Mother's Day from Mr. T

I'm posting this a little early so that email subscribers will have it in their inboxes in time for Mother's Day.

Now pay attention: This is Mr. T, the baddest of the bad. Click play, and he will rap his message to "Treat Your Mother Right". I pity the fool who says anything bad about his mother!

You are now inspired to share this goodness with the mothers in your life. Happy Mother's Day!

Jesus on Facebook

You've seen "25 Random Things" done by Jesus, so you know he's on Facebook, right? Glancing at his profile, it looks like there were updates on his wall during Holy Week  (click to view):

Note: Unlike a regular Facebook wall, the most recent stuff is at the bottom, so read from the top down.

25 Random Things by Jesus of Nazareth

If you're on Facebook, at least one of your friends has done the latest craze "25 Things About Me", listing twenty-five random things. It's a fun way to learn things about someone that you wouldn't normally discover. It's gone so viral that TIME Magazine and Newsweek's blog have written about it.

And now there's even one by Jesus of Nazareth!

Update: In fact, you can now see Jesus's Facebook page.

Sprinkler Rainbow Conspiracy

I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Church Basement Roadshow review

I fumbled with my words when inviting people to the Church Basement Roadshow, because even as the local organizer, I had little idea of what to expect. But having seen it last night -- how do I describe it? I think I have to fall back on Doctor Dolittle: "You've never seen anything like it in your life!"

Honestly, that video matches the feel of the show. It's old-timey. It's zany. It's also deeply meaningful. The show clips along and does not stay in any one place for very long.

Since it is hard to describe what the show is like, parents will ask, should I bring the kids? If they are teenagers, definitely. Even pre-teens will enjoy it, as long as you don't mind them hearing Mark toning down two quotes to (literally) "effed" and "effing", and references to drug use in a quite negative light.

It's fun for whole family -- bring grandma, too! I don't know how to say it without sounding like I am exaggerating. Find a show near you and go. How can anything be so much fun, and so meaningful, at the same time? I've never seen anything like it in my life!

Automatic rapture email

My, my, my. Hat tip to my childhood buddy Jim for finding this gem: youvebeenleftbehind.com

Our purpose is to get one last message to the lost, at a time, when they might just be willing to hear it for the first and last time.

MESSAGES SENT OUT 6 DAYS AFTER THE RAPTURE

Imagine how taken back they will be by the millions of missing Christians and devastation at the rapture. They will know it was true and that they have blown it. There will be a small window of time where they might be reached for the Kingdom of God. We have made it possible for you to send them a letter of love and a plea to receive Christ one last time. You can also send information based on scripture as to what will happen next. Each fulfilled prophecy will cause your letter and plea to be remembered and a decision to be made.

Technology for safe worship

For AWESOME worship, you need the latest in music technology: Now you can respond to the leading of the Spirit in spontaneous arrangements without worrying about wrong notes, because "all discordant chords and sour notes have been programmed out"! Comes pre-loaded with seven Chris Tomlin worship songs!

Competitive pro worship

Oh gosh. After you watch it, you have to go back and see the stuff you didn't notice at the very beginning.

After you're done laughing (or crying), I'd like to hear what you think. How close does this hit home? Share your thoughts below!
