How Much Do You Have to Hate Someone Not to Proselytize?

Francis Schaeffer on the Origins of Relativism in the Church

Words to Remember

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

On Alton Brown

Well, I found out that Alton Brown, of "Good Eats" fame, is apparently a Baptist, apparently a Southern Baptist, at that.

Now, knowing how intimately being a Southern Baptist and cooking are related, I can't help but wonder how his membership at a Southern Baptist church has affected the dynamics there. I mean, who would want to compete against Alton Brown in the annual church chili cook-off (and if your church doesn't have an annual chili cook-off, I guess something's wrong with your church. Just my opinion, of course)?

    Oh, I'd bet he wouldn't be competing, but judging instead!
