Prodigal John has a fun post over on his blog, Stuff Christians Like about Christians smuggling John Mayer into our camp. I think the original title of the post compared Mayer to Christian artist Chris Tomlin.
I think in some ways, John Mayer has snuck inside the Christian circle like a ninja. Or maybe we smuggled him in, I’m not sure. The point is, he’s here, and Christians have embraced him in a surprising way.
I’m personally a fan of John Mayer’s music. Haven’t seen him live (other than on TV) but I hear his concerts are great as well.
Along with his post, Prodigal John offers up this quiz for all. The list below is 15 quotes either from The Message Bible or John Mayer. See if you can tell which is which.
1. Then they get in all their shopping sprees. At day’s end I’m ready for sound sleep,
2. Belief is a beautiful armor, but makes for the heaviest sword
3. Now we see everything that’s going wrong, with the world and those who lead it
4. I dare to believe that the luckless will get lucky someday.
5. She takes you in with your crying eyes, then all at once you have to say goodbye
6. You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes, it brought me back to life

12. He comes up empty. A string of zeros.
13. Someday I’ll fly, someday I’ll soar
