Been mulling over events of the past weekend, and we have it all backwards. By "we", I'm referring to us good evangelicals. Not the emergent folks, who are the spawn of Marc Driscoll and MTV (you know who you are). Back to my point: I love marshmallow peeps. Wait, that was my other point. Real point: we celebrate Holy Week all wrong. Here's the breakdown:
CURRENT EVANGELICAL TRADITION:
Maundy Thursday: Nothing
Good Friday: Believers' service
Holy Saturday: Nothing
Easter Sunday: Open invitation to believers, unbelievers, and nominal believers
WHAT TRADITION SHOULD BE:
Maundy Thursday: Last Supper celebration with a Passover seder/Communion
Good Friday: Unbelievers' service to introduce them to Calvary's cross
Holy Saturday: Worship night/believers' service
Easter Sunday: Believers' service -- celebration of victory
Monday after Easter: Bring me your leftover marshmallow peeps

Sorry brother..the peeps are all mine....
Point one: peeps rock.
Point two: Agree
Introductery thought about "Driscoll and emergent folks". I don't even know where to begin,either, your information is old and uninformed or you like to wave a flag to aggravate, so that you will get comments like this.
