Ben Arment posted about going to Rob Bell’s Everything IS Spiritual tour. Rob is doing a cool thing where he is traveling around the nation and doing a talk/sermon/discussion in bars and concert venues. His goal is to communicate to seekers about God in their environment. GREAT idea!

In his post, Ben makes a point that the only problem is that the large majority of the crowd is your typical Christian who wants to hear Rob. I talked to someone I know who went here in Atlanta and he said it was obvious that the large majority of the crowd was Christ followers.

To me that is typical. I am consumed with those who don’t know Christ and it drives me nuts that someone like Rob is out trying to go those who don’t know Christ and share the message in their language and in their turf, yet “feeders” are buying up all the tickets.

Just doesn’t make sense to me….

The sad thing is most of the Christians who went were probably so giddy that they actually went to a concert venue or pub to see Rob. I can just seem the bragging and thinking they are now relevant because of it. Maybe they should try that on a regular basis to see those who don’t know Christ.

But those are just my thoughts.
