And not saying that there is anything wrong with the post. Just suggesting that this kind of post would probably sit better on John's personal blog instead of here. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it - and the comments. Just don't feel it fits in the context of this blog.

Everybody who blogs (or preaches or writes..) is to some extent sharing their views. What he has posted doesn't seem to be done obnoxiously in any way i can spot to justify a critique that he's throwing his views onto the church. Maybe the glasses bit is a little off topic but the point about contextualization is an important thing to consider for anyone producing Christian content.

Would be good if you kept posts like these refined to your human error blog instead as this has absolutely nothing to do with contextualisation.

I'm a "plus size" Caucasian living in Asia. Some extra large sizes here would pass as a small back home. I feel your pain in regards to sizing. I'm a "plus size" Caucasian living in Asia.

There is a cost if you're going to open your mouth, you see that from beginning to end in the Bible. John the Baptist was a "voice crying out in the wilderness" and his head ended up on a platter. In today's culture you can either pick fame and popularity or you can pick passion and truth. One will get you everywhere and the other will get you where God wants you to be. One thing I forgot to tell you in my email to you yesterday is that I only like to connect to real people. Thank God that He has formed you to be real and not some fake person trying to build his own ministry. We have enough of those people in the church already. Keep on doing what God has called you to do. Anyway, have a great week, I know it is a busy one for you. ~Ben Ya know John, it is always difficult to be a forerunner and a voice into an already structured system.
