We survived the drive to Chicago early this morning, through traffic, road construction and toll booths. I’ll update this later, but wanted to point out that we (myself and a team member) made the cut and are shown on Willow Creek’s Flickr account worshiping earlier this morning.
It’s time for dinner – we’re heading to Max and Erma’s. This is my first trip into Chicago, and my first experience at Willow Creek. So far so good!

Have you ever been to Willow Creek Community Church? I’m guessing not. Do you know anyone who serves there as a volunteer or as a staff member? Again, I’d bet not. You can certainly nit pick portions of their methodology, but you can do that about any church that probably isn’t “your” church. Willow has been open and honest about their short comings, but they also deserve credit for having been part of the transformation of thousands upon thousands of people’s eternities. How’s your church doing on that, or more specifically, how are YOU doing on that? God will be the judge, Bill Hybels will have to answer for himself, but how about you? It’s easy to swing at windmills on a blog, but when the rubber hits the road that’s entirely different. I don’t agree with Bill Hybels on a number of things, but I will cheer for him and his church’s success to the glory of God. I don’t have time to waste being a hater.
