“Shema statements” – such a brilliant way of describing a social tactic of testing the waters of communication for a good moment where the Holy Spirit might act.

This will travel.

Even church planters telling the creation story at a cross-roads spot ask permission to share their story about how the world began after asking those gathered to share their stories of creation. That's conversing, not just broadcasting! John Paul,

Good distinction. Even church planters telling the creation story at a cross-roads spot ask permission to share their story about how the world began after asking those gathered to share their stories of creation. That’s conversing, not just broadcasting!

I felt the same after #Jesus started trending a couple of days ago on Twitter simply by a bunch of Christians wanting Jesus to go to the trending topics. For me, this is close to "spamming" communication. Its just bullhorns in cyberspace. The message is that we're more about shouting and proclaiming than explaining. Christians tend to take a lot of the "common sense" of what they believe for granted. That's dangerous, especially when what we believe is "foolishness" to those who are perishing. That’s solid.
