Jesus Creed

Once again, the mission of the church, the mission of Paul and the mission of Christians today is the mission of God — the Book of Acts records for us the works/acts of God in this world through the earliest followers of Jesus. One of whom was Saul, who is now on record as Paul…

Today I’m departing some from offering basic economic concepts and interjecting a sociological element into our discussion.  There is considerable energy to today around the idea that Christians need to resist impersonal capitalism and Western individualism. The most common characterization of relationships in the church in the New Testament is family so the conclusion is…

In our series on young Christian authors, it’s a bit unfair to include Margaret Feinberg — not because she’s not young, which she is, but because she’s written already a bundle of good books. Her newest book is a treat. It’s called Scouting the Divine: My Search for God in Wine, Wool, and Wild Honey…

From Christianity Today: Some Christians today are fasting during Ramadan as an act of solidarity with Muslims.  What do you think about this? “Christians may fast alongside Muslim friends, either as a gesture of friendship or in order to open dialogue, but not as part of Ramadan itself.

Acts 13:4-12 clarifies what that work is: 13:4 So Barnabas and Saul, sent out by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed…

John Franke, in his new and exciting book Manifold Witness: The Plurality of Truth (Living Theology) addresses the topic of truth.  No one speaks entirely for the emerging conversation, but many speak against the emerging conversation as if it can be narrowed to one point of view. This is why it is important for critics to…

The pilots say they weren’t arguing or sleeping.  So, what are the Top Ten suggestions of what the pilots were doing?  (No report, yet, that they were reciting Jesus Creed followed by rapid repetitions of the Jesus Prayer.)

The Book of Acts, in Acts 13, turns once again toward Paul and from here out it is mostly about Paul and Paul’s missional work. The opening verses of Acts 13 are fitting beginning for the week because it is about God’s anointing: 13:1 Now there were these prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch:…

Tim Keller, pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian in NYC, is perhaps the most balanced pastor, theologian, cultural critic and evangelist in the American scene today. His newest book, Counterfeit Gods: The Empty Promises of Money, Sex, and Power, and the Only Hope that Matters , is no exception to his approach. The book addresses what its…
