Jesus Creed

Perhaps because I teach college students who frequently bring up what they will do for work when they leave college, perhaps because of some of my Anabaptist convictions, or perhaps because I love what “work” I do — and probably for each of these and more — a recent publication by Darrell Cosden, The Heavenly…

One of my friends and a former colleague, Dan de Roulet, used to urge me to read some piece of fiction. He just knew I needed to do this, but deep inside I had to admit that I simply didn’t know how to read fiction. One day Dan suggested I read Flannery O’Connor’s great piece,…

“Whoever does these commandments [of Jesus’] and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 5:19). The word “great” is here redefined by Jesus and it is defined by the Jesus Creed.

As some of you may know, we will be in Rustenburg South Africa for Pentecost with the Dutch Reformed Church. I will be speaking on Sunday morning and then each evening through Thursday (May 4-8) in a series on Pentecost. Alongside these Pentecost sermons, there will be plenty more opportunity for teaching.

Praise God! ?and many thanks for the prayers for my son, his girlfriend, and the many other students at this conference. The kids returned this afternoon and we have found out that my son and his girlfriend have made a commitment to give their all to following Jesus. While I am overjoyed with this information,…

On our iBook G4, when on the internet with Firefox, sometimes the down scroll arrow at the bottom right of the screen appears but more often it does not appear. All that appears most of the time is the upscroll arrow, not the downscroll arrow. Anyone know how to restore it?

My friend and one of our seminary students, Chris Ridgeway, gave me a pound of a new coffee: Espresso Royale. I ground it just right on the first try — which is not common for me with a new bean — and, though I thought its taste at first a smidgeon sharp, I was wrong…
