Do you know where I can get an anatommically correct Hanna Montana love doll? My prayers for the real thing havent yet been answered.

[...] Just a passing note, but I just got word from out local news that 4,200 tickets for the Hanna Montana concert in Lexington, KY sold out in 30 seconds (no, that is not a typo). Looks like more and more Americans have prayed to receive Hanna Montana into their hearts. [...]

I don’t like mullets, but a fresh rainbow trout is absolutely delicious. Ray is definitely a friend of sinners, and Tom did BSU Summer Missions in West Helena, Montana.

You were close enough to get gold star on your paper.

Now that’s funny Bill!

I’m telling on you.

P.S. I haven’t practice deconstruction of late, but does that make you a proponent of mullets, Ray a friend of country singers and sinners, and your brother a fan of Hannah Montana?

Oh, boy…this line of comments has really degenerated (and it didn’t even start with one of Ray’s puns), but I’ve got to “share” at how really small the world is:

Hannah Montana is daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus who was once managed (maybe still is) by a guy named Rendy Lovelady. Rendy’s daughter, Amber attends Union University which is where Ray and I teach. Ray is one of my elders (although he’s much younger), and my brother is Tom Nettles, who was at Trinity when Ray went there, and has been one of Timmy’s profs at SBTS. Now that we’ve connected Hannah Montana to Tom Nettles, does that make her any better…you betcha!!

Mark,

Exactly. Here’s an article that I think addresses what you are saying:

As far as the new new measures, let’s just say that I think Finney would be proud. I am going to write a post on this position on methodology here soon.

Guillaume,

It is against P&P rules to bring up Billy Ray Cyrus without discussing the legacy of his mullet. Yes, there is a dance to the song. You think churches, then, should offer free line-dancing classes? Maybe those with the best mullet and best dance could win the Hannah Montana tickets? Thoughts?

You have to keep them there with what got them there. That is why this bait and switch stuff will either give you a short lived crowd, or will lead a church to compromise faithfulness to truth telling and gospel preaching in favor of more and more entertainment and salesmanship. Both of these alternatives are poor ones.

I don’t know if you had this kind of thing on your list of the new, new measures, but it would surely qualify.
