Look honey, they've only got one arm and they're all bow-legged; you can take them.

I'm sure the invitation said "Missional Dinner."

Is this what they meant by Tribal wedding ceremony?

It this a Priest's collar? Oh no...this means I'm now fully available *wink wink*

Next time we're going on a cruise and forgetting the denominational missions vision trip

Maybe we can forgo that "Wait until marriage" thing!

And then I said, "Let's collect the offering after the sermon..."

"I wonder if they ate a chicken would they say it tastes like human?"

"Honey, are you sure you are called to missions?"

So this is what people do to you when they see a Brian McLaren book on your shelf.

So honey, how do you think the mission trip is going so far?

"You just had to quote Frank Viola and 'Pagan Christianity' in the elders meeting, didn't you ..."

I guess using a "seeker-sensitive" approach is not the best for the Stained-glass tribe.

When I preached on the importance of not boiling a kid in its mother's milk, I didn't think they'd look for alternatives...

'Enough of calling me Pastor...just call me Stew...'

I am beginning to rethink my pre-trib theology

This hot water is nothing compared to the time I asked the choir to sing that new praise song.

Well, look at the bright side...at least they finally agreed on something!

I should have known better than to preach on "old time religion."

So it's obvious I've underestimated just how tribal these 'Emergents' can be...

Well, honey, you're the one who said you wanted a "small country church."

It's not as bad as it seems...

The upside is I've finally gotten the congregation to agree on something...

Did you remember to wash your hands?

My dear, in this culture there is a difference between covered dish and pot luck!

This must be what they meant by baptism by fire.

I never though the YouTube ad that said, "Come work where other people vacation", would lead to this!

"I knew we should have put in stained glass windows. But who knew they were so passionate about themselves."

"I'm rethinking how I contextualized 'So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth...'"

"... even their virtues were being burned away."

"Forgive them Father, for they know not what they eat."

Honey, I'm not sure I want our relationship to heat up this much.

Sweetheart... it may not be the best time to bring up your objections to the policy on women in the ministry during elder meetings.

Maple Grove Christian Church
Charlottesville, VA

And all I asked was: Can we consider CHANGING the time of the morning Service?

Honey, honest! I didn't know this is what the board had in mind when they said they would be giving us our OWN hot tub for Christmas!

"Don't look at me Pastor, you invited them to our Missionary Conference."
