Paul F.M. Zahl: On Grace and “Last Signal To The Carpathia”
UPDATE: This is the mother load of Zahl sermons and forums. Great stuff here. I’ve been listening all day. I’ve discovered Paul F. M. Zahl, and I’m beside myself with enthusiasim for his writing on grace and the church. The only problem is that there’s not much of it, and that is truly a loss.Continue reading “Paul F.M. Zahl: On Grace and “Last Signal To The Carpathia””

Hold The Light For Me
UPDATE: As usual, David Hayward brilliantly gets it right. It’s been a long year like a long sleepless night Jacob wrestled the angel but I’m too tired to fight every Wednesday for two years we’ve met I’ve showed you all my anger, my doubts and bitterness there was no judgment in your eyes just theContinue reading “Hold The Light For Me”
Liturgical Gangstas 13: Projector Please?!
Update: I’ve had some strange mail on this one. Let me respond to one: This is NOT a debate between churches. If you want to have that and you can’t find it on the net, your hands must not work. Welcome to IM’s popular feature, “The Liturgical Gangstas,” a panel discussion among different liturgical traditionsContinue reading “Liturgical Gangstas 13: Projector Please?!”
Jared Wilson: The Internet Monk Interview
Jared Wilson is the author Your Jesus Is Too Safe and the blogmeister at Gospeldrivenchurch.com. 1. You’re obviously influenced by the rhetorical style of someone like Driscoll, in that you are communicating intensely, but with humor and pop-culture to counter-balance. Yet, you’ve managed to put the emphasis on the Biblical content, not on the styleContinue reading “Jared Wilson: The Internet Monk Interview”
Riffs: Conrad Hyers on Creationism, Genesis and Science
Presbyterian minister and Biblical language scholar Conrad Hyers has been the primary help for me on issues of the Bible and Science. I’m sorry so little of Hyers is on the web. His book, The Meaning of Creation, is a mandatory read for those interested in this subject. Hyers’ simplicity and amazing respect for theContinue reading “Riffs: Conrad Hyers on Creationism, Genesis and Science”
Evangelicals In the Star Trek Universe
For those of you keeping score, we gave up the television about 4 months ago. We discovered that, for $60 a month, we were watching one episode of House, M.D. a week and I was watching baseball. Not worth it, especially with MLB.com and Hulu. Everyone is fine, we’re using Netflix, buying some DVDs andContinue reading “Evangelicals In the Star Trek Universe”
Recommendation and Review: Your Jesus Is Too Safe by Jared C. Wilson
I’ve never met Jared Wilson. We spoke on the phone once because, frankly, I’m desperate for friends. He doesn’t owe me money. We don’t have a book review treaty signed. He’s not going to like my book nearly as much as I’ve enjoyed his, and that’s OK. Jared isn’t a well-known author or megachurch pastor.Continue reading “Recommendation and Review: Your Jesus Is Too Safe by Jared C. Wilson”
Why So Serious?: Considering A Short List of Gospel Contradictions
I was reminded this week of how dangerous it is to use the word “Gospel” around evangelicals and expect that you are speaking the same language, so if you need a short version, I’m on a Lutheran Confessions kick. Let’s try this: The Gospel, however, is that doctrine which teaches what a man should believeContinue reading “Why So Serious?: Considering A Short List of Gospel Contradictions”
