DO YOU LIVE UNDER A ROCK? – April 13th (second Wednesday)
As Christians we say we believe in the resurrection but sometimes it seems like we are living under a rock instead of living a resurrected life. As Easter approaches take some time to reflect on what it means to live out the resurrection. Does the resurrection make a difference in the here and now? Have you seen evidence of the resurrection in the land of the living? Would/Could resurrection life change anything/everything in the world/your community? What does it mean to practice resurrection? Join this month’s synchroblog and share your thoughts, reflections, opinions and stories as you consider the question “Do You Live Under A Rock?”
Please plan to submit your name, name of blog, title of post and link in the comment section of the April announcement here on this blog by 6 p.m. EST 4/12/2011 if you would like to be included in this synchroblog. The list of participants will be compiled and posted on 4/13/2011.
So funny.
Yes, I will try to participate.
Jeremy – We are so glad it made you smile!! :>) And happy you will be participating!
I’m planning on participating, it’s been the thing that’s touched me most on my retreat.

This is a satirical post on one of our great “under the rock” tendencies in Evangelical Christianity – a satire on apocalyptic date setting prophecies.
Thanks, Phil!
I assume this is where we post our responses?

It’s an old post but I believe fits nicely with your question: Do you live under a rock?
