Replanting a Denomination: Leadership during Stability, Decline, and Death
In The Life Cycle in Congregations, Arlin J. Rothauge advises churches on how to cope with stability, decline, and death. During decline or death, we are aware that there’s a problem, but when we’re plateaued, we tend to figure that … Continue reading
Surprised by Hope: 2 Peter 3:10-13 — Re-translating Peter
So if the creation is to be redeemed and freed in a way that gives it expectancy and even a groaning in anticipation of the end of time, how can it melt, be destroyed, and disappear? What if we were … Continue reading
Replanting a Denomination: In Reply to Hank
Hank asked, As a “Neo-Conservative” (dubbed that by a leading progressive), who is trying to follow along, I have to ask what is meant exactly in saying that we need to change? Take, for example, the typical old school “sound” … Continue reading

Surprised by Hope: 2 Peter 3:10-13 — A Hypothesis
It would be really cool — nice and symmetrical — if the creation were to be redeemed much as God redeems his people. After all, our becoming new creations means that the old passes away, but not that there’s no … Continue reading
Surprised by Hope: Shining Like Stars
Alan S. and Bob Harry made some very insightful comments in the preceding post of this series. Alan S. wrote, Are you saying that we can expect to be resurrected with a body similar to what Jesus had when he … Continue reading
