Jim Belcher, Francis Chan, N.T. Wright, and Others Leave the Pastorate to Write and Speak | Christianity Today | A Magazine of Evangelical Conviction

Pastors are leaving the pastorate for writing and teaching careers. Is this a good thing or a pejorative path to avoid the difficulties of working with people instead of paper and podiums? I have appreciated Steve Taylor's comments in the comment section on this post. By the way, Peter Rollins as far as I know hasn't moved to the US. He's on a one year visit to speak, write and interact with people who appreciate his writing in the US. A few names to add to this list would be Ravi Zacharias, Ed Stetzer and Alan Hirsch among many others.

...And there was no longer any sea... What is Restoring Pangea?

The World as one still needs to be one in every way - physically ideologically, socially, economically, etc. Pangea Restored is a fully-orbed vision of what the world could be if the borders and barriers that most separate us were removed, literally, and the New World was reborn with Peace reigning. Let His Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven..

Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,

...and there was no longer any sea...

‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away"...He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Revelation 21

Cause vs. Effect

If I couldn't see I'd be more affective If I was careful I wouldn't be here If I was courageous I would still fear If I had a million dollars I'd have a big house in the Bahamas. If I had a dollar I'd have a small house, somewhere in the Saharas. If I didn't own anything, I'd be able to receive everything If I had everything I'd be missing something If this was a song, I'd write it If it was a poem, it doesn't rhyme If i could live any life it would be my own If I could only tell you one thing, it would be, "Come Home"
