Jesus Came to Save Grimace and Hamburglar
Kevin DeYoung, one of the authors of "Why We're Not Emergent" responds to this McDonald's ad on his blog, taking a swat at today's hipster church culture in a way us country folk can appreciate:
"So much that passes for spirituality these days is nothing more than middle class, 20something coffee culture. If you like jazz, soul patches, earth tone furniture, and lattes, that's cool. But this culture is no holier than the McNugget, Hi-C, Value City, football culture that most people live in. Why does incarnational ministry usually mean hanging out at Starbucks instead of McDonalds?
Jesus came to save Grimace and Hamburglar too. "

Doug, you call yourself country folk yet you work at Starbucks! That's the pinnacle of "cool". Maybe we should start meeting at McD's from now on.
Hah! I didn't consider the irony of my comments. You got me there.
