Jesus Creed

My favorite blog-photographer is Steve McCoy, a pastor in our area. I hope you visit his photography stream. Great stuff and I picked this one for a winter scene. I’m hoping the road of this winter is coming to an end sometime soon. Enough already. As you look down this wintry road toward Lent, I…

What will you be doing during the Inauguration of our next President, Barack Obama? Here’s a link to WP’s Inauguration Central.

We need to string together a few texts from Paul’s letter to the Philippians. 2: 22 But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel. 4:2 I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to agree with each other…

Recently at Out of Ur blog I posted something about “maestro” Bible readers and I received a letter from a “Red Letter Christian.” Here is a clipped paragraph: I understand completely when you say that when Jesus is made Maestro it “leads to violence against Paul and Peter and James and Hebrews etc..”  So maybe…

I recently read Andy Crouch’s new book, Culture-Making, a winding book on culture and how Christians can be cultivators of culture. Andy’s favorite letter is “C” — and he’s got more C’s in this book than any book I’ve seen. But, he’s not being cute. The C’s are genuine and they make the book more…

If Ephesians emphasized the word “peace,” Philippians emphasizes “Christ.” These are not alternatives but different ways of saying the same thing: the “peace” of Ephesians is the union of Jews and Gentiles in Christ and the “Christ” of Philippians is…

Karl Giberson in his recent book Saving Darwin: How to Be a Christian and Believe in Evolution has devoted several chapters to discussion of Darwin’s dark companions and to the history that has led to the culture war we find today.  This discussion is particularly relevant in light of Ben Stein’s recent expos? Expelled: No…

George Eliot was Mary Ann Evans (1819-1880), and a famous novelist. She is the subject of David Hempton’s first study in how artists struggle with the evangelical faith ( Evangelical Disenchantment: Nine Portraits of Faith and Doubt ). Eliot’s most famous novels were Adam Bede, Silas Marner, and MIddlemarch. Hempton focuses on two major writing…

Just saw this … what do you think? Any responses? Forget about cutting back on cable and pricey cappuccinos. For some couples, a shaky economy means putting plans to grow or start a family on hold. The economy is a leading source of worry for many Americans, with 80 percent saying they feel stress about…
