So Tuesday was all set up to be a normal day; some work on writing some stuff for the church in the morning, lunch with Herschel (my church planting coach), followed by some work on a web proposal later in the afternoon….so a fairly lazy day and one without much surprise. As a result of [...]

And I’ve got it right here.
Moving First

So this morning during our gathering at THE REFINERY, we were discussing Matthew 5:21-26 where Jesus, in his famous Sermon on the Mount, is giving a new dimension to the laws prohibiting murder. He takes the normal stance of not purposing to cause someone physical harm in the midst of one’s anger, and goes five [...]
Fundamentalism as a Temperament
Posted in Church Planting, General Items, Theology on March 30, 2007 | 9 Comments »
In the June 24, 1957 issue of Christianity Today, editor Carl Henry gave a sadly timeless critique of Fundamentalism. Keep in mind, the following was written fifty years ago. The real bankruptcy of fundamentalism has resulted not so much from a reactionary spirit – lamentable as this was – as from a harsh temperament, a [...]
White Knuckle is My Middle Name

Well, I took a leap today. I should get accustomed to this experience by now, but it’s never that easy. I turned in my notice of intent to resign today. In other words, in two weeks, I will no longer work at my current place of employment. Reasons are long and complicated and with this [...]

The Scandal of the Kingdom (continued)
Posted in Church Planting, General Items, Theology on March 13, 2007 | 6 Comments »
So, to continue my thoughts about this scandal of the openness of the Kingdom of God, I made a comment (that, to be honest, was made in quite a throw-away fashion) that this discussion we had on Sunday was dangerous. That was, more or less, an instinctual comment, but I stand by it nonetheless. After [...]
The Scandal of the Kingdom
Posted in Church Planting, General Items, Theology on March 12, 2007 | 6 Comments »
This morning at The Refinery, we had a dangerous discussion about the nature of the availability of the Kingdom of God. Our text was Matthew 5, the Beatitudes. This passage has been probably one of the most universally beloved and still widely misunderstood at the same time. We tend to take this list of “blesseds” [...]
Strange Days Have Found Us…
Posted in Church Planting, General Items on March 7, 2007 | 6 Comments »
Can’t say how just yet, or when, but things are changing again. Church is going well, it’s nothing dismal on that front. But let’s just say that when God makes it clear he’s ready to move, sometimes you have two choices: either dig in your heels and put up a fight, or grab the bumper [...]
