Friends,
In light of all the sadness of today, what with Joe M announcing his resignation from CRN.info (I hear he has been tapped to write an intro for Rick Frueh’s forthcoming book), I thought it might be appropriate to learn about an important American tradition. My hope, in posting this video, is that we will learn something valuable about the nature of Christianity.
So, what does ‘noodling’ teach us about Christianity? Most likely nothing, but this is not to say there are no hidden secrets in noodling that might inspire a book. And it was fun, even for a minute, to distract all of you from the important work of being angry with one another. Here’s to friendship! My hope is that someday all of us can go noodling together and enjoy one another’s company. Isn’t that what noodling is really about? Friendship?
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 How good and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in unity!
2 It is like precious oil poured on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down on Aaron’s beard,
down upon the collar of his robes.
3 It is as if the dew of Hermon
were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the LORD bestows his blessing,
even life forevermore.
Soli Deo Gloria!

They do that here in Oklahoma, it’s real man fishin up in hyar!
LOL….I would never…ever…well yes I would. I would gladly do that lol.
However I approach the subject I still cannot reconcile how God would ever lead a believer to look for and search for published reports of the sins and shortcomings of others. What possible benefit could that ever serve? All of us become well aware of fallen brothers and sisters in our own experience without treasure hunting around the country for the detailed accounts of others.
How many Christians are “noodling” for the sins of others instead of “noodling” for all the fathomless treasures of the Risen Christ? To walk through this life with a sense of spiritual and doctrinal superiority is an affront to the Christ we are supposed to emulate.
The greatest battlefield upon which to contend for the faith once delivered to the saints, is, in my own experience, in my own heart.
Aw, thanks! I like noodles!
