the rubicon

Stunning site: the rubicon.org. Fabulous stuff. Thou shouldst vist it.
A must read article by Geoff Ryan about the Salvation Army as a prophetic movement, and just read another by Dion Oxford called Redemptive Theology of Salvation. Which is also along the lines of my last couple of blogs I guess. Here is a poem I pinched from that very same bloke and that very same article, to enticeth you:

I Wonder

A man once said that the man who lives in hope
dies starving
A girl once told me she’s so alone
She sells her body to feel loved

I wonder what could have gone so wrong
to be so wrong

Someone on Yonge Street begs for money
to buy crack
He says that when people give him money
They put another nail in his coffin but he doesn’t want to die

and I wonder what could have gone so wrong
to be so wrong

The world spins away towards yesterday
and we keep on worshipping money and sacrificing the weak
to appease our god
And only complain when the price of gas goes up or when our stocks go down

and I wonder what could have gone so wrong
to be so wrong
