On Friday I wrote about note takers and made a passing comment about the idea of people returning to their notes and reviewing. I think it is only fair to suggest that many never achieve that goal, even if they have it. But even if they do, it raises an issue. Is my goal to make my listeners need my outline in order to navigate their way through a passage? Certainly this is better than being lost in a passage. But personally I would rather preach so as to motivate people to go back to the passage, not my outline. Furthermore, I would rather preach to equip people to get the main thrust of the passage and know how to apply the text and respond to the God who inspired the text.

Despite remarkable popularity and obsessive fans not seen since the head Deadhead died, Insane Clown Posse manages to attract little attention from music critics or cultural commentators. (For the uninitiated, look upon their wikipedia , ye mighty, and despair.) But despite the amazingly off-putting profanity and sexual imagery of Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope’s horrorcore lyrics, clearly these two rappers have a powerful ability to connect with what I think it’s fair to characterize as an alienated and disaffected fan base.

All together now, let’s say the words of wisdom that I learned as a Baylor University undergraduate: No non-NoZe knows the no-nonsense, non-NoZe news that the NoZe knows. Let me stress that I was not a member of the NoZe Brotherhood during my years at Jerusalem on the Brazos. I definitely was not cool enough and there was a good chance that my GPA was not high enough (my stab at taking Hebrew was a disaster) — or both.

Only the NoZe knows, you know?
