Ike and Jerry need their say!

Welcome to "Jerry and Ike's Pages" (for "Jeremiah" and "Isaiah"), a page of thoughts, challenges, and hopefully some truth for God's people.

I'm sure there's nothing new in this blog. What this hopefully will be is just a little island in the church storm, where we can cut the crap and talk about uncomfortable truths.

Well, let's be honest, not where "we" can talk, but where I can talk.

I believe in God, and in His Kingdom. The church? Not so sure. I see more boneheaded decisions based on fear than I see loving boldness and determination. I see splitting hairs on cultural minutae while "the people perish" for lack of vision. I see justified "TV campuses" that are a-geographical, a-contextual, yet accepted by the smiling crowds.

So this is a place. I will "push" my thoughts and opinions, no bones about it. I've worked in the largest churches in North America, 10 person church plants, and everything in between. I've seen the best that the Kingdom has to offer, and the worst.

So welcome. Here we go...
