A lot better at talking than walking, and now...

Gee, I guess we're in this mood today.  Joel Belz (HT WorldMagBlog):

Now Mr. Barna and his number crunchers say that a whole lot of Christians aren't even bothering to talk with all that much seriousness. His recent survey focuses on what kinds of goals parents are setting for their children—not, mind you, on how well they're doing achieving those goals—but just describing the goals themselves. Even on that front, Christians come across as timid and flabby.

...wouldn't you think that people who have tasted...mercy for themselves would list as a primary goal for their children that very same experience? The fact that they don't makes you wonder how real their own experience of God's goodness has really been.
