I recently reflected on some of the main spiritual pathways found among evangelicals today. Let me identify three broad sectors and offer a brief commentary on each. It’s still a preliminary work of reflection and readers are invited to look over my shoulder to offer comments. We need a starting point so let me suggest …
I was just reading through Helmut Thielicke’s little classic, A Little Exercise for Young Theologians. This 41-page booklet should be required reading for everyone that studies, reads or talks theology. He writes of the tension created in the adolescent theologian between truth and love. (Adolescent is not determined by physical age, incidentally.) The danger of …
Let me raise a vision issue I’ve considered before in my Spreading Goodness site. It invites a revisit. Post-modern thought begins with a simple and seemingly obvious insight: we all view life from a unique vantage point. This claim, when applied, is called perspectivalism. We all look at everything with unique points of view. Having …
Last week the first season of Cor Deo’s full-time programme drew to a close. We have been so encouraged by these twenty weeks together as ten men standing shoulder to shoulder and responding to God. Highlights have included significant levels of soaking in God’s Word together, plunging into parts of church history to see the …
I heard recently that one of my former seminary students married a non-Christian. Despite my grimace-of-heart it’s no great surprise: such mismatches (in biblical terms) seem to be on the rise among evangelicals. And, in a separate moral commentary, premarital sexual activity by engaged believers is more and more common—and all but assumed in some …
We had a lively discussion on here some months ago on this subject. I think it is worth raising again, in order to offer a couple of extra thoughts. It is not our job as believers to decide if someone else is truly saved or not. But we mustn’t be naïve, either. The New Testament …
Beauty and jealousy are oil and water words—they aren’t a good match—but in God they come together. God’s beauty is seen in his relational devotion—in his love. Even in our humanity we see beauty in the people who love us well. The wrinkles of a caring grandmother are winsome etchings of love to the eyes …
Last week Ron offered a helpful post on prayer. I appreciated this as I was preaching on prayer this weekend. I thought I’d follow up with a provocative little title and post on the same issue. Here’s the synopsis of my message from Saturday: Who you are talking to influences how you talk to them. …
Terry raised a question about prayer and, separately, Peter has been asked to speak on the same topic next weekend. So here is my own question: should I pray about writing a post on prayer, or should I just do it in response to Terry and as part of my ongoing conversation with Peter? Let …
Last week we shared Glen’s post about which God we worship – is it really the OmniBeing, or is He significantly different to that? On Saturday at Delighted By God, Mike Reeves offered us the God of Arius and the God of Athanasius as our two options (you won’t want to miss that talk, coming …
