How do we measure what God’s Spirit is up to? Who could be bold enough to posit such an equation that might capture the depth and breadth of this sacred mystery? During the past year and a half, I have come to appreciate the explosive, timeless truth Jesus spoke in John 16:12-15: “I have more to say to you, more than you can now bear…”

Is the emerging church a fad? What does it mean? As a pastor, what should I be doing about it? Is D.A. Carson right? What about Chuck Smith, Sr.? Is the emerging church a sign of the end? Is it a forerunner of last days apostacy? Has Slice sliced it correctly? Has Pyro burnt it appropriately? Is Mark Driscoll the poster child for the EC, or is Spencer Burke?

They held to a custom called Corban. Corban was a convoluted practice whereby sons and daughters would dedicate to God their earnings, though they could still use them. These funds could not be used to support their parents. They were sacred by a law that allowed the sons and daughters to declare they had no means to support their mothers and fathers thus protecting the funds. Consequently, the parents were cast upon the welfare system of the time, begging alms and seeking provisions from generous people, while their children lived in wealth and security.
