Meltdowns

8/27/2007 – 4:20 pm

Update: changed from an “aside” to a full-blown post.
Do female church leaders of various kinds fall in groups of threes? Maybe. Today I’ve heard about Mother Teresa, Paula White, and Juanita Bynum. (I know, “fall” in the usual sense doesn’t apply to any of them, but it says something when divorce [...]

A chance to die

8/23/2007 – 1:16 pm

The following is a poem from that dearest sister in Christ, Amy Carmichael, which I too would humbly echo in prayer:
From prayer that asks that I may be
Sheltered from winds that beat on Thee,
From fearing when I should aspire,
From faltering when I should climb higher,
From silken self, O Captain, free
Thy soldier who would follow Thee.
From [...]

Theological diversity

8/22/2007 – 2:03 pm

Steve Hays: “Is there too much theological diversity in Christendom? Undoubtedly. But I’d much rather have a healthy dose of theological competition than allow a doctrinal or ecclesiastical monopoly to go unchecked until it perfects a false premise or optimizes a primitive corruption—leaving us fettered and shackled in a dungeon of dogmatic decadence.”

Driving you to victory

8/8/2007 – 8:36 am

Daniel at Doulogos does it again: “So if you have a habit of letting besetting sin cripple your prayers, it is because you imagine that God runs away from you during your struggles instead of runs towards you during them. You have a wrong understanding of God. God doesn’t abandon us when struggles come, [...]

Friendship and the gospel

8/7/2007 – 10:12 am

James White: “Friendship that includes a common commitment to the gospel is something completely different than friendship without it. I may have cordial relationships with non Christians, but I cannot think of anyone I would call a true friend who is not a fellow believer in Christ. And I could never call a man [...]
