Jesus Creed

We had another wonderful day here in Odder, not far from the sea between Jutland and Zealand — and south of Norway and north of Germany. We’ve been given blue skies and cool, lightly breezy evenings. The theme of the week is “Grace for the day: Nåde for i dag.” (The little circle above the…

I wrote this some time ago, but thought posting it while we are in Denmark might be a godo time. House Sparrows, a member of the finch family, may be one of the more “evolved” bird species that exist, but they are stupid. I’m sorry to say this, but they have been driving us nutso…

Is Eat this Book by Eugene Peterson. How do you read the Bible?

We will be spending most of the week in Odder, Denmark, just south of Aarhus, but before we left I did what I could to get some links up for the week.

In Jon Wilson’s fine study, Why Church Matters, we turn this week from “Foundations” to “Renovations” and in his two chps on this topic he speaks first about “Witness.” And his way to put it all together is in this: “Witness as Kingdom Words and Deeds.” Read on.

John La Grou and Len Hjalmarson created the idea of a participatory book, and I confess that I’m not all that sure what happens but I confess that you probably do. Anyway, they asked me to write a piece and I chose to write on the impact of blogs and media on book reviewing and…
