Jesus Creed

After a losing fight with a porcupine, this dog is doing fine, and now that we know it’s fine … what does this picture bring to mind? Who is this dog’s analogy in our world? Which Church leader feels like this?

We skip in Romans from Romans 2 to Romans 10 to find the next use of “gospel.”  There are two uses of “gospel/gospeling” in Romans 10:15-16 and I have provided additional verses to exhibit the context:

Some Christians are functional deists: they believe in God but their God has very little to do with this world. He’s the clockmaker God; made this place and then let it run.

I’ve recently been brewing a few different coffees, including Strada coffee from Africa and some wonderful new stuff from the great place called Burnsville, Minnesota.

A few weeks back we flew to Boston and back. We booked our return flight about 4pm … confirmed, the whole nine yards. We were set. Then they notified us, via e-mail, that we had been pushed back to the 5:30pm flight. Kris, who handles our flights, assumed United had canceled the 4:00pm flight. Lo…

Adam Hamilton asks if there will be Hindus in heaven in the 12th chp of his book, Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White: Thoughts on Religion, Morality, and Politics. He opens this chapter with a widely-known (at the time) statement by arch-evangelical John Stott who said he’d never been able to conjure…

What do you think is going through Peter Lonard’s (the golfer’s) mind?
