Yes, we are back. Sorry it took so long! Jared and I got really caught up with what we were doing with our jobs and what not that Push had to take a backseat but hopefully we'll be back and up and running more smoothly and frequently as the school year gets closer to starting.
Anyway, I put up a post for a couple of reasons. The first reason is because I just wanted to make sure you all knew we were still alive and that Push is also still alive.
The second reason is because I was thinking that we never really got the type of community interaction we were looking for. Like we've said from the very beginning, we want you guys to submit things to us whether it's on Facebook or email. That way we can make them actual posts and give you credit to your ideas and make this a "community" type of blog as opposed to just two guys that blab the whole time. So with that said, please add some style to the blog! Add some of your creativity and thoughts! Let's try to mix things up a bit that way Jared and I don't feel like we have to come up with something new and awesome every week or whatever.
The third and last reason I made a post was because I wanted to share something that I read that really hit my heart and I'm not going to go into detail about what I think about it. I'm just going to share it and I'd like to know you're first reactions and thoughts and hopefully it will spark a discussion. My first reaction was sympathy for the man that said it, shame for the church, and a sudden determination to make that type of alienation terminate forever.
What I read was from the book What's So Amazing About Grace? by Phillip Yancey and in this book he (Yancey) was talking to a gay man for awhile and then he turned to Yancey and said, "It's easier for me to find sex on the street than it is to get a hug in a church?"
What do you think about that?

We are Push. Not me. Not you. We. As a common people, we have the potential to push ourselves, our communities, and our world into a new direction. The future is shaped by the hands of today. Well, it's time for those hands to get to workin'. Push exists to do just that. Push.

its not cool and i can see how this can tug at you, and while i do think that church should be made available to everyone, church is, has always been, and always will be a place meant for christians to grow with eachother...thats what church is supposed to be, a body of believers keeping eachother accountable with a pastor preaching the word of God. It is easier for a gay man to get sex than get a hug in church and thats not ok, because we as christians should be loving and SEMI-tolerable but at some point the immoral are to be expelled from the church....i didnt write it, i am just reporting it! -matt stine
