A Retraction

by Thabiti Anyabwile

I'm learning to listen to my wife. It's part of what it means to live with your wife in a considerate or understanding way (1 Pet. 3:7).  And, she is generally correct about things I routinely overlook.

An anonymous visitor to my site didn't find the video I posted there and linked to here re: changes with the national coordinator of Emergent stuff very funny. The video used a movie scene featuring a distraught Adolf Hitler and his advisors in a bunker to parody the Emergent shake up. My wife didn't find it funny either.

So, I've removed the video and the previous post. And, with sincerity, I apologize to all those offended by the video and its use of that scene to poke fun at Emergent leaders and Minnesotans. Please pray that those offended would receive this apology in the spirit in which it's intended, and that I would exercise better discernment.

Grace and peace in Christ Jesus our Lord, who saved us from the holocaust of God's wrath, and made us wretches a holy nation.

Thanks, Thabiti. Thank you for being humble enough to admit your offense. It's humiliating when you have to do those things...been there and done that. But it's good for us pastors!

One of things I appreciate most about my mother, who led me to Christ 50 years ago last Christmas, is that she was big enough to admit mistakes. Sometimes, anyway!

Good on you, Thabiti.

Could someone please publish a guide to how to say your name, which I've never heard, only read?

Thuh-bee-tee

On-yuh-boowee-lee

say the "boowee" fast.

At least, that's how 9marks told me to say his name when I was on the phone with them back in August.
