Christianity, Christian, or Disciple

This comes from Rob Bell in one of his podcasts...I need to do my own research to back it up. So according to Bell's research:

  • The word "Christianity" is not used once to describe the Jesus movement.
  • The word "Christian" is used three times.
  • The word "disciple" 263 times.
What are the implications of this research?
Which one better describes you?
Does a Christian look different from a disciple?

Something to think about.

Help! I'm Going To Jail!

Now don't get too excited. I'm actually going to jail for a good cause. I'm helping out the MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association) of Johnson County to raise money for research. What they are going to do is lock me up until I raise my bail money...so that is where you come in. I need bail money. If you don't know much about MDA, MDA is a national voluntary health agency dedicated to fighting 40 muscle diseases that impact millions of people in our country. In fact probably everyone of you knows at least one person who is affected by some type of muscle disease. If you would be willing to donate some money towards MDA research you would be making a difference in the lives of a lot of people as well as getting the preacher out of jail. And believe me it never looks good to have your preacher in jail for any extended amount of time. If you would like to help me out, you can go to this personal website and donate money there or you can give me a check made out to MDA. I would greatly appreciate it!
