A Whole New Bag of Burdensome, Self-Righteous Judgment

This is the money quote from a deliciously rambling piece by Matt Self:

In my quest to unpack all the burdensome, self-righteous Christian culture I had acquired in my 20s, I suppose I have packed a whole new bag of burdensome, self-righteous judgment of those who have somehow maintained a functional relationship with Christ while listening to the mind-dulling positive, encouraging tones of CCM and soul-robbing venom of talk radio.

“A whole new bag of burdensome, self-righteous judgment.” Exactly.

Help Me Welcome Matt Self Back to the Blogophere

I first started dipping my toes in the blog waters back in 2005. I don’t remember how, but I soon stumbled across Matt Self’s blog. At the time he was writing some of the most original and inspired commentary on life and faith I’d found anywhere.

Quite a lot has happened since then in Matt’s life that caused him to stop blogging in 2007 2006. I won’t get into that here because it’s not my story to tell, but his absence has been more than understandable. Still, perhaps selfishly, I’ve missed his voice and I’m sure others have too.

Today Matt decided to tentatively start writing online again and he’s looking for dialogue partners. Do me a favor: put him in your RSS reader or bookmark his address (click here). And comment from time to time. You won’t be sorry.
