Got a Poster of Bono in Your Office?
I told someone that all pastors should have a poster of Bono in their office and in their foyer! Read the lyrics to his songs. Listen to his story. Look what he's doing in Africa. The church has never been a place for him. Until the church is a place where people like Bono can engage, we're missing out.
It's a sad state when we celebrate theology that is lined up to the letter, but a life that does little. Give me a person who knows little theology but wants to learn as he or she goes. A person who wants to live it, a person who wants to make a difference in society—and that person will change the world.

I pray that the Church will hear and receive this word!
Psalm 127
Laboring and Prospering with the Lord
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.
1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one's youth.
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
