So Rick responded to my post about Brian McLaren. And he said:

Is this question worth while: "If you could know God, would you want to know Him?"

I like this question, because in some ways it takes me to where I'm headed. So I guess Rick is the co-pilot or the manual. ;) LOL Anyway, the one thing I don't understand in what I heard from Brian McLaren is how he see evangelism. I guess because of being in an SBC for awhile and being heavly influnced by William Carey Inst., the IMB, the NAMB, and various other things, I find it hard to accept some of the "unorthoxdox" practice. I find it in some ways just as fake as what I learned through PDC and the others. I know in my mind we should "reach people right where they are at", but I feel that should be some structure to it. Is evangelism a purposeful thing in Emergent lifestyle? (I say Emergent Lifestyle, because I'm not sure how else to define it) I find myself confused and even find myself in some what of a box. I feel unsure how to come out of it. As someone who is focused on missions or used to be, I'm not sure how this "lifestyle" fits. I feel that if I asked the above question Rick proposed to a "lost person" the answer would still be "no" and to be honest in my "lost state" I have said "no". So does this make sense to anyone? Can any of y'all help me define what I'm getting at? Interested to hear some thoughts on where I'm going with this. I admit there is some marketing, modernism still left in me. So I cry "HELP".
