Jesus Creed

Kris and I are in Placerville, California, up the road from Sacramento, at a fine little gelato shop that has a Wi-fi. I just got to this response by Allan so I’m posting it a bit late today. Allan Bevere and I have been posting our way through Tom Wright’s new book, Paul in Fresh…

We need to return to the text of yesterday: 1 Peter 2:9-10. This is pure emerging church theology. Peter here does three things: (1) he universalizes election, (2) he privileges the marginalized, and (3) he declares a missional strategy.

Atonement is “the radical newness of the practice of the gospel, as over against the tolerated violence of all other human practices.” Jesus’ death is efficacious, not because it satisfies God… but “because it is the inauguration of the ‘political’ practice of forgiveness … The practice is itself continuing atonement.” Answer: Do you think atonement…

Bart Ehrman, in his new book, Misquoting Jesus, tells his story: how he found an evangelical faith, attended Moody, Wheaton and then Princeton — during which time he came to the conclusion that the Bible is simply a human book. Here’s his story. What did you think of his book?

I just barely got a glimpse of an A1 Steak Sauce commercial, and I’m wondering if you saw what I did. A prisoner covered his name with a death row inmate’s name so he could eat a steak (the death row inmate’s final meal?) with A1 Steak Sauce. Did you see it? Say it ain’t…

From Linda. HOORAY! He was moved to special care today..his own room and no vent! It’s out in the hall! He is still getting a little O2 but is doing the rest all alone. He is much more awake and used his talking valve again today.

Sunday night I was invited to North Park’s Sunday evening Collegelife, a worship gathering for our students. It is student led and orchestrated, but mentored and guided by folks like Brian Wu and Rich Johnson — and probably others.

In Steve Taylor’s book, The Out of Bounds Church?, he suggests Peter performed the DJ role for the emerging churches of Asia Minor: he mixed a few CDS into one fluid sound. (By the way, I missed Taylor’s book in my comment in “Fashion or Fad” [see sidebar] that the emerging movement could make use…

Sunday, March 5, I spoke at Village Church of Gurnee. The pastor is an old friend. Todd Habeggar and we first met on a basketball court: he was the star center at Fort Wayne (now Summit College) and I was a guard at Cornerstone. Todd had pointed elbows, and I learned right away that he…
