An archived blog pertaining to the Church of God (Anderson, Indiana), with the intent of provoking constructive discussion related to our theology and mission, within broad contexts. The intent is to see our emphases on holiness and unity become more meaningful and practical for the complex world in which we live. NOTE: This blog is not associated with a similarly named blog located at www.chogblog.com
“Jesus said he wanted us to be in the world but not of it. The problem is that we have succeeded in neither. We are not in the world, but instead find ourselves in a church subculture removed from it. And inside that subculture we have become worldly.”
Jim Thwaites - Renegotiating the Church Contract P.96
Something needs to change first!

i see this worldly aspect of our subculture / 'bubble culture' (as said by McNeal) most apparent in a visit to your local Christian bookstore.
i now go rarely to such establishments because i usually leave nauseated
