Sunday’s Coming
Not that we’re ever guilty of being formulaic or, you know, emotionally manipulative … but we are big on growtivation.
Following Jesus, by N. T. Wright
I bought this one with my very own money – and it was money very well spent. Following Jesus was first published in 1994. It doesn’t offer hugely powerful new theology. Rather, it offers excellent, insightful introductions to several New … Continue reading
Clergy & Laity: Further Thoughts on: And he wants Mondays off?! (Part 2)
[This is a bit rambling, but I'm fighting a virus and that's how the thoughts flow, you know.] I’d add a fourth incontrovertible principle – 4. We ask the wrong things from our members, and so we ask the wrong … Continue reading

Clergy & Laity: And he wants Mondays off?!
If you want to hear some strong opinions from elders, don’t ask about instrumental music or speaking in tongues; ask about the preacher’s weekday day off. It’s becoming customary for ministers to expect a day off during the Monday through … Continue reading
The Holy Spirit: The Synoptic Gospels, Part 2
The baptism of Jesus (Mat 3:15-17 ESV) 15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. 16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from … Continue reading
