A person happened to be reading the email over my shoulder (that's not allowed!), and exclaimed, "Whoa, you're a pastor now??" Hahaha, little kids are so funny.
Well nope, I'm not nearly as wise as Pastor Matt, but here's something he said that I thought was really interesting, not something we think about every day:
"How radical is this:
"If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied."
A lot of Christian leaders have said the opposite over the years--that if it turns out there is no God and no resurrection, that living the Christian life still brings great fulfillment, etc. But the Bible says, no, it brings pain and suffering, and we are most to be pitied if we're deluded."

hi matt! its sharon :]
hi Pastor Matt!
oh wait... wrong guy =P
This point is great to raise, since it reflects, more or less (I think), the heart of the Gospel. I've actually shared this with some of my non-Christian friends over the past year or two, and it makes sense to them. We are the stupidest people in all of human history if we believe Christianity's claims and they turn out to be false.
HAHA i know who said that...
erm, mom says she read your bloggies and she thought they were very PHILOSOPHICAL and DEEP and that you think more than other guys... (translation: YOU ARE A WEIRDO)
well, i suppose to some people that might be true. hehe.
ummm. okay well that is my comment for now.
