Jesus Creed

The theme of James 1:9-11, as we tried to show yesterday, is reversal. The current oppressive conditions of the poor will be overturned by an act of God and the oppressors will be brought before the bar of the Lord and they will be found wanting. The poor will be vindicated. Hence: 9 The brother in…

Romans 5:12-21 is a great passage – and at the center of the passage is the achievement of Jesus through his death and resurrection. In his commentary on Romans NT Wright notes: Though the word “cross” is not mentioned, and though Jesus’ own death is not spoken of explicitly, we should not miss the fact…

Scott thanks for all your comments and push back. Always appreciated. Clearly we’re playing with semantics here. I don’t say that dismissively. Semantics matter–some times more than other times. I’ll let others judge whether it matters here. It may be that we agree after all. First, my language in the video was less nuanced than…

Shane Hipps got this ball rolling, then I weighed in, and now Anne Jackson has weighed in. (And she’s pulled the plug on internetting during Lent so she might not weigh back in until April 13 or later.) And Shane has responded yet again, and it will appear in a few minutes above this post……

Abisomeone has asked us to re-shape this discussion. If you listen to him and like him, tell us what you like about Rush.

In November 2006, the bishops of the United States issued a pastoral document entitled “Happy Are Those Who Are Called to His Supper” which addressed this…

Reversal is one of James’ convictions. He’s looking at and like his brother on this one too. What is reversal? That the present conditions are unjust; that the conditions are contrary to God’s design; that God will (soon?) step in to reverse things so that things will be put to rights. So that justice will…

We begin today a new series. For now, we are calling it “Behind the Scenes.” We will have all kinds of discussions about this topic (below) and I won’t give any more away so here goes … a new series … and one I think will make a difference in the Church. There are a…

In a recent Out of Ur Blog, JI Packer weighed in on whether communion is open or not. Here are the first bits and I’m curious as to what you think. (The rest of his piece is at that link.) Do you believe that access to the Lord’s Table should be restricted, and if so,…
