The Church Needs Prophets, But It Wants Lawyers

I’m writing this newsletter in the aftermath of a very disconcerting Christmas in Nashville. In the early morning hours, police responded to a "shots fired" call on 2nd Avenue, downtown close to the Cumberland River. Instead of an active shooting scene they came upon an RV parked in front of an AT&T telecommunications building. The RV began loudly broadcasting, "Evacuate now. There is a bomb. A bomb is in this vehicle and will explode."
