Usually when someone says “I’ve changed my mind” we can take the shift as a passing matter. It depends on context, of course, but changes of mind are common. I might say, for instance, “I know I said I can meet for coffee at ten but I’ve changed my mind because of a deadline I’m …
What if a relatively simple misunderstanding were to lead to significant missteps in dealing with important situations? A newspaper article was passed to me last week that suggests just such a misunderstanding was the cause of failure in economic help provided to the fallen Soviet Union, failure in provision for post-Saddam Iraq, failure in the …
Jesus said that a sign of his nearing return would include an increase in lawlessness with the result that “the love of many will grow cold” [Matt. 24:12]. It’s not that a loss of love for God is only found in the end times. The problem was also cited in Ephesus where, although true doctrine …
We are two weeks into the full-time programme at Cor Deo. It has been a privilege to be part of the group and I’m really looking forward to the weeks ahead. One of the central and defining features of what we do together is to really saturate in the Word of God. This week we …
Let me offer a nice bit of theo-jargon here—“anthropopathism”—for anyone who doesn’t already know the term. I’ll then comment on it and invite any responses. An anthropopathism is the emotional and less-well-known cousin of anthropomorphism. The latter term refers to human descriptions of God that use bodily terms—as in the Father having arms or legs …
If you didn’t know today is Valentine’s Day, then you obviously haven’t been shopping lately. It’s a marketing mini-fest before the easter eggs hit the shelves in earnest. It is fashionable to be dismissive of Valentine’s Day, of course. I was asked last night at church, “do you do Valentine’s Day?” with a jesting tone …
Let me return to one of my drumbeat issues: sin. Augustine’s fifth century debate with Pelagius had much to do with defining sin as moral privation (Latin “privatio”): an absence of righteousness in human conduct. Let me offer a snapshot of what Augustine was saying and then invite comments from readers. The problem of evil …
Yesterday I finished up a series of eight messages on the Bible. I wanted to offer a panoramic vista of the whole Bible in a single message. So what themes should I emphasize? Or what verses could serve as an anchor point for the whole? Rather than going with John 3:16, or something similarly familiar, …
The troubled man scarcely bothered to take a breath as he poured out his unhappiness over his host of issues. He was a true victim and wanted me and others to share in his pain. And, yes, it was painful! What I knew from many earlier conversations was that the present 30 minute survey of …
My wife and I have been listening to some teaching that continually refers to our calling to “take dominion.” The term is used in reference to influencing society in every sphere: legislation, politics, family life, education, morality. While we see some helpful biblical content in other elements of the teaching, we are also troubled by …
