easy peasy as my son would say.
It was Baba O’Riley by the WHo.

It is my and my 8 year old son’s favourite WHO track.

It is the opening music to CSI NY as well apparently.

Andrew,
Paul preached the gospel to people who understand the torah and of course in Athens to people who didn’t.

He still preached the Gospel.

nice to be cited, even if my surname is mis-spelt! (D-O-W-S-E-T-T)

re “you simply preach the gospel”…the thing is, if you haven’t connected with the person/culture, you haven’t actually preached the gospel at all; simply made noises.

The gospel, for any given individual or culture, is always contextual - because it is Jesus coming into a particular context and the kingdom transforming the circumstances of that context. I don’t mean that the gospel is something relative; but, if you look at Jesus, the good news in one situation is, you are healed; in another, you are fed. Then comes the challenge: in the light of your experience of the kingdom breaking in, how are you going to respond?

I love “House”…he is calls it as he sees it, is abrasive, rude and has all the diplomacy of a train wreck.

I think we would get along just fine.

agreed house is a great show.

you simply preach the gospel.
sometimes you will be blessed by God and there will be many at other times there will be few.

A successful church plant is not measured by the number of people who become members.
