YouTube - Leo Lapore asks a not so stupid question.

I’ve lived most of my professional career operating under the following guideline:

‘Our methods may change, but our message never will.’

It really sounds good doesn’t it? Being able to say with conviction that we’ll use exciting new methods while keeping our theological heritage intact. It’s a great way to say something we all think.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t make it true.

Do you ever wonder if the world would be more interested in the Church if it didn’t seem like we were against everything?

How amazing would it be if we were not known as pro-life or anti-choice, but as people who loved and cared for unwed mothers and their children? What if we were known not as middle class WASPs, but as generous people sacrificing to help others? And what if we were known not as homophobes, but rather as people who loved the gay community and did everything we could to introduce them to Jesus. And not just so they’d stop being gay. After all, a Christian struggling with homosexuality is no different than a Christian struggling with pride. We all need to deal with our sin. We’re all broken.

We often define ourselves as for or against certain moral frameworks. But God did not call us to morality; He’s called us to himself. If I convince someone to become pro-life or straight and they never meet God then we’ve only gotten part-way (and not the most important part).

…dangerous. I’ve spent much of my life living by the following assumption: “The methods may change, but the message never will.” Unfortunately, this is false. No technology is neutral. Every technology will change you, no matter what you use it to say. Too often we presume to know what a technology will do to use in the church, and too often we accept technology without proper thought. Technology can be leveraged to great heights, but never without change in our message…and never without change in us.

So if you’ve ever noticed on my site, when I modified the template for my uses I’m unable to click the header to load the homepage anymore. I’m really new to PHP so I can’t figure out how to get that to work.

Here’s the code I’m using in the header to display the image (and the search box):

<div class=”logohead”><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>

Here’s the code for class logohead:

.logohead{

margin: 0px 0 0 0;

padding: 5px 0 0 20px;

width:978px;

height:100px;

background: url(images/logoHEADER3.png)no-repeat;

border:1px solid #fff; }

So that’s it guys. How can I take that code and make it a link to the homepage of my site?
