Carl,
Great song, great post and yes a GREAT GOD! I just watched session 3 on the ‘A Story for the Heart’ DVD & your approach to sharing Jesus is soooooo freeing. Let’s be real about the way He’s touched our heart & forget all the junk of our religion(s).
God Bless
JD

I am new to your blog; however, I wanted to make a comment on the “God is GREAT! Beer is Good,” etc. theme. I find only one problem with your argument; however, it is a very serious flaw, as far as I am concerned, being a Bible believing Christian! It has to do with drinking beer! My problem is this . . . our Muslim friends can’t drink beer with us! :-}

So, there we were in church and the visiting pastor started his wind up with, “Ain’t God Good?”. Our 4.6 year old grandson, with ample country music around the house he’s home schooled in, blurts out correcively and loudly, “No, God is GREAT, beer is good!” True story.

Excellent points Carl! It almost makes me want to become a fan – but wouldn’t that make me a groupie?

Hi Carl, as usual this blog is challenging, inspiring and gets me thinking out of the box! Where I live in East London we have a big Muslim community and many of us in our church have some really good friendships – they’re our neighbours and we want to do what we can to demonstrate Jesus’s love to them. Yesterday one of the young guys from our church took our youth leader along with him to meet a guy from the local mosque. This guy is a British convert to Islam and is apparently very radical. He spent 3 hours last night trying to tell our guys why Islam is the way and asking them for evidence for what they believe. In response they just kept talking about Jesus and about how he’s changed their lives. A group of us are meeting regularly to pray for our community and this guy will feature high on our list now! It’s a challenge to know how to respond to this kind of ‘in your face’, almost aggressive attitude – but all I know is that Jesus has shown us how to love and how to live another way …
By the way, I’m still hoping you’ll be able to fit in visiting our church next summer – we are in the fortunate position of rubbing shoulders with muslim people wherever we go – at work, at school, on the street, in our homes – everywhere! So your input would be really valuable. In the meantime I really appreciate your website as we seek how to love these muslim friends better. With thanks,
Sally
