Editor’s note: Before you read this discussion of Robert Farrar Capon’s Between Noon and Three: Romance, Law, and the Outrage of Grace, I urge you to read, or re-read, Michael Spencer’s essay titled Our Problem With Grace. Michael and I talked often about how Christians struggle with the concept of receiving our salvation freely fromContinue reading “Writers’ Roundtable Discussion Of Robert Capon’s Between Noon And Three”

Note: We really are planning a discussion of Robert Capon’s Between Noon And Three. No, really we are. Still waiting responses from a couple of writers.

Saturday Ramblings 9.4.10
“Why is it,” I was asked while in England, “that you call it ‘Labor Day,’ but it is a day off?” I don’t know. If it makes you feel better, I’ll be working that day. So, why do you refer to Fridays as POETS day? “Push Off Early, Tomorrow’s Saturday.” I like it. I likeContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 9.4.10”

Difficult Scriptures: Matthew 22:14
14 “For many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14, NLT) In last week’s Difficult Scriptures, many of you thought the passage too easy. Or, perhaps, you didn’t care to dig deeply enough. There was a lot of meat left on that bone, monks. This week’s verse is a head-scratcher. Who are those whoContinue reading “Difficult Scriptures: Matthew 22:14”
Saturday Ramblings 8.14.10
Well Rambling fans, it’s packing time here at the iMonastery. I am taking flight tomorrow for a week in England.

Difficult Scriptures: Luke 18: 1-8
1 One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. 2 “There was a judge in a certain city,†he said, “who neither feared God nor cared about people. 3 A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, ‘Give me justice in thisContinue reading “Difficult Scriptures: Luke 18: 1-8”
