Riffs: 4:30:07: Daily Sex With Pastor Mark

UPDATE: TSK goes through the rumor mill and separates fact from fiction from bullxxxt. (If I was in Seattle I could say that.) I listened to Mark Driscoll’s “Banned Video” presentation, wrote two posts, scraped both, and then tried to figure out what’s bothering me. I finally think I have it. If you haven’t watchedContinue reading “Riffs: 4:30:07: Daily Sex With Pastor Mark”

Five Questions for Noel Heikkinen on the Mark Driscoll “Confessional.”

One of the most talked about posts in the blogosphere this week is Mark Driscoll’s report on his exhaustion, health problems and current explosive growth church situation. Reformed Catholicism and others wrote excellent responses. When I read Driscoll’s post, I decided I wanted to get the reaction of one of the pastors of one ofContinue reading “Five Questions for Noel Heikkinen on the Mark Driscoll “Confessional.””

An Example of Much-Needed Integrity: Biblical Requirements for Leadership

The issue of integrity is going to be huge in the Southern Baptist Convention in the next couple of decades. More and more younger leaders are calling for true integrity in commitment to what the Bible says, what we say and do, and what we declare is the will of God. Those battles for integrityContinue reading “An Example of Much-Needed Integrity: Biblical Requirements for Leadership”

Mark Devine on Karl Barth

In 2001, Southern Seminary Ph.d and Midwestern Seminary theology professor Mark Devine delivered a paper to ETS on evangelicals and Karl Barth. The article is found here, or in pdf from the same site. At the Fide-o watchblog, I’ve been accused of being a liberal heretic like Karl Barth. Among the comments from Scott HillContinue reading “Mark Devine on Karl Barth”

In the Study: Christianity For Beginners (7 Sermons)

My goal is to provide models of evangelistic, apologetic proclamation to those who might be engaged in similar ministry. Every year I do a sermon series with the purpose of layingContinue reading “In the Study: Christianity For Beginners (7 Sermons)”

Evangelical Anxieties 5: The End of the World

There’s not a lot that I like about the Appalachian mountain version of Christianity that surrounds me here in southeastern Kentucky, but at the top of a short list is their attitude toward the end of the world. They aren’t afraid of it. They have a good idea what’s going to go on. They believeContinue reading “Evangelical Anxieties 5: The End of the World”

Ten Propositions on Certainty and Theology + a Breather

Enjoy Aaron Ghiloni’s Ten Propositions on Certainty and Theology. It’s good. I’m taking a couple of days off from answering mail and reading blogs. I’ll post some new content here in the Evangelical Anxieties series soon. (The End Times is up next.) It’s surreal to know the world is continually hearing that I don’t believeContinue reading “Ten Propositions on Certainty and Theology + a Breather”

Five Reasons + Two Resources

Five Reasons I Don’t Use The Term Inerrancy: 1. Inerrancy is a term that requires too many intelligent, honest Christians to violate their consciences over what they read in the text of the Bible, and no amount of “Resolving Bible Difficulties” resources can solve these issues. The result- those who are convinced shouting derision atContinue reading “Five Reasons + Two Resources”
