I'm sure you don't remember meeting me once at UM back in the day, and I know we have a lot of mutual friends, Matt Blair for one. Anyway I just thought I'd drop a line and say thanks for commenting and let me know if I can help you guys up in Boston somehow. Hey Nathan, thanks for commenting over at my blog.

It's amazing what happens when we operate under God's priorities. Of course, my point in writing all of this is not to literally go step by step. Some of it happens in step-like fashion and sometimes it is simultaneous. The important thing is that we don't go after the speck in a brother's eye until we take care of the log in our own. But that doesn't mean we never help a brother with their speck.Thanks for the comment Jeff. Hey, you've already got step three! It's amazing what happens when we operate under God's priorities.

I think you hit it right. Get yourself going, help your church, allow both those things to transform the culture.
