Jesus Creed

Studies are now serious about the position we assume most of the day. What do you do? What have you learned? What works best for you? Are our sedentary life styles so pernicious that we need to rethink the current office culture — for example, switch to standing desks or exercise stations or change our…

One of our students at North Park University, Drew Daniels, went homeless for 40 days in Chicago. He did a documentary about his experience, which was a powerful learning experience for him, and I want to announce to folks on the West Coast — from Seattle down to San Diego, that Drew will be on…

I became melancholic when I read the opening words of the postscript to John Stott’s newest (and last) book: “As I lay down my pen for the last time… at the age of eighty-eight…” (136). This from his “Farewell!” to The Radical Disciple: Some Neglected Aspects of Our Calling . This book is his last. …

Church names are getting more and more creative, and one has to wonder when the trend will reverse and we’ll go back to “The Church in Colosse.” Anyway, this from Out of Ur blog and I clipped the top thirteen … it goes to over 100 creative names. [By the way, one denomination gave itself…

The Volcano at the Eyjafjallajokull glacier (Why do folks give glaciers names like that?) Link of the week: The Wheaton Theology conference lectures. Good post by Jana Riess. And another one by Wade Hodges. Excellent sketch of Together for the Gospel conference and Wheaton Theology conference by perhaps the only person who attended both: Brett…

Arizona has passed a bill that hopes to tighten up immigration offenses and protect the citizens of Arizona.  What do you think? We’d love to hear from the folks in Arizona. Here’s a clip from CNN.com, followed by Jim Wallis’ statement:   Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed a state bill Friday that requires police to…

MOVIE REVIEW: Jesus Walked the “Green Mile” (1999) by Jeremy Berg www.jeremyberg.org And now for a throwback movie you maybe never thought of as a good Easter time tale with powerful echoes of the passion of Christ and the message of redemption.   It’s already been 11 years since the release of The Green Mile (1999). The…

For some reason we weren’t getting channel 53, CLTV (Chicagoland TV), about two weeks ago. Which is fine except the Cubs broadcast some of their games on CLTV. The odd thing is that we used to get CLTV and then — whoosh — the channel disappeared. I gave good ol’ Comcast a little call to…
