Jesus Creed

My post, Seven Habits of Successful Emerging Discussions, generated enough suggestions that I thought it would be good to post today on how Emerging Movement folk (EMers) might better converse with evangelicals. Just as I don’t assume to speak for all EMers, neither do I speak for all evangelicals. I apologize for the length, but…

Kris and I, along with my colleague Boaz Johnson and his wife Sarita, went tonight to a theatre to see Narnia. By common consent, we fell in love with Lucy and Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, and of course Aslan was awesome. I don’t know what Linux is nor do I understand how those folks can…

Lots of blogs in my blogs of the week. The very top of my blog list this week is Karen Spears Zacharias’ funny stories on her blog, Sit and Spit. Her experience with the friend who calls it “E-Rac” and the doctor thinking it was “wreck” — well, you read it.

Time to vote. Who do you think was the most outstanding athlete/sportsperson of the year? This poll is for the male athletes, my next one will be for female. Too hard to mix them up.

Christmas for Mary meant learning what to teach her kids (Luke 1:46-55). Those of you who have read my Jesus Creed will know that I think Mary had a hand in teaching Jesus a thing or two about kingdom mission. I hold it as a minimum that what Mary experience in the Magnificat and what…

Why talk about this again? One simple reason: too many continue to use the terms inaccurately, so I thought I’d post a little blog on how to use these terms a little more accurately. I’ve tired of hearing us talk around one another and so I’m asking, especially for our critics, to listen long enough…

This must be the best dancer ever, or there is some funky stuff going on with a video camera, but as my son reminds me, watch the tape long enough to see the guy in orange.

There has been a flurry of blogging about (mostly) mega-churches that have opted not to have a Sunday service in light of their attention to Christmas Eve services. Most of the blogging has been negative, some of it sharply so. Iâ??m thinking here of Ben Witheringtonâ??s blog â?? and Ben is a friend and a…

For Mary, Christmas end the beginning of the end for systemic violence (1:51-55). A student told me the other day that Christians don’t believe James 1:26-27 (pure religion is taking care of widows and orphans). In my mind, I went to Mary who was the mother of James and she was a widow, and his…

This post will summarize Eugene Peterson’s Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places, chp. 1 pp. 85-108. This is a short section, but it is better than biting off too big of a chunk that extends to nearly 50 pages and ends with great reflections on Sabbath and Wonder (next week). Whether you’ve read the book…
