As Ryan was talking today about the Emergent church, I thought of something the high school pastor at my church did at a church retreat recently. First, the worship band sang a rendition of Alicia Keys’ “No One” as a worship song, which was fantastic. Then the pastor talked to the kids about the lyrics to the song, which talk about how “No one can get in the way of what I’m feeling… When the rain is pouring down and my heart is hurting, you will always be around…” It was a great example to me of what Ryan was talking about- how we can take cultural signs and re- attribute different meanings to them, blurring the lines between the secular and sacred.

“how we can take cultural signs and re- attribute different meanings to them, blurring the lines between the secular and sacred.” I think this isn’t easy but something that we must do.
Nice work this week.
