Issue: Should NE Patriots’ Fans be Excommunicated?

January 21, 2012 by Dave Miller

One of the issues in the church in recent years has been the necessity of church discipline.  You may find tomorrow that your church is confronted by a serious moral quandary.  Can your church permit members who cheer for the NE Comrades to remain in full fellowship? It's a difficult issue.  Certainly, cheering for the spawn of Belichick is evil   - we all know that.  But is it the kind of evil we should divide over and institute church discipline because of? Ultimately, the question is, how can light partner with darkness?  How can good cheer for evil? So, I hope that each of you who … [Read more...] about Issue: Should NE Patriots’ Fans be Excommunicated?

Does Malachi 2:16 Condemn All Divorce?

January 20, 2012 by Dave Miller

NOTE: I have just released a book which compiles (and edits and expands) these posts. It is called "Disqualified? What the Bible Says about Divorce, Remarriage and Ministry."   It is available on Amazon.com. The Kindle version will be released in the next couple of days - not sure what the hold-up is there. This book reviews the biblical evidence on divorce and remarriage, beginning with the cornerstone in the Old Testament - the twin principles of God's intent of marriage as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman and the understanding of the brokenness caused by sin. It then lays the … [Read more...] about Does Malachi 2:16 Condemn All Divorce?

Who Knew Good Seminaries Could Be So Dangerous?

January 19, 2012 by Tony Kummer

I spend almost 8 years in a very good Seminary & Bible College. I am greatly blessed by the correct information I received. But when I look back there was some dangerous lessons that never made the official syllabus. Who I am supposed to admire... What I am supposed to believe... Where I am supposed to find answers … Why I am supposed to think a certain way ... How I am supposed to deal with impossible questions... I had very good training for a ministry without risk. I've got heroes to emulate, mantras to disseminate, the right books to mediate, theological systems to … [Read more...] about Who Knew Good Seminaries Could Be So Dangerous?

Does Intent Trump Impact?

January 19, 2012 by Jeremy Parks

Ever watch a bunch of cows jammed into a pen before an auction, branding, or health check?  Too many bovines packed into too little real estate; the crowding makes it easier to direct them all out the one-cow gate and down the chute.  It’d be fine if they didn’t all weigh 2,000 pounds and didn’t go around manuring all over the place while having large pointed weapons on their heads.  Invariably, one steer will back into another.  Somebody gets poked in an unpleasant place and before you know it, a large four-legged steak is lying on his rump roast wondering what in blue blazes just … [Read more...] about Does Intent Trump Impact?

Five For Fighting

January 19, 2012 by Rick

With apologies to John Ondrasik's band of the same name, and in response to Dave Miller's humble yet impassioned plea for content, I introduce five "short" topics for your consideration. No, these ideas are not developed into full-length feature articles. Is that always necessary? I re-read Jack London's "To Build a Fire" this morning, appreciating both his master storytelling and his brevity. Why take forever to say something if you can say it briefly? 1.  Rooftop Sex in the Bible So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of … [Read more...] about Five For Fighting

What about Followership?

January 18, 2012 by Dan

It's election time, and all the candidates are talking about leadership.  Leadership in the buzz word in business, organizations and there is no shortage of people talking about leadership in the church.  I have half a dozen books within eye shot that deal exclusively with the issue of leadership.  We talk about leadership a lot, but I want to talk about something a little different.  Followership. I heard from Chris Tomlin once where he was talking about leading worship.  He talked about how often time worship leaders spend a great deal of energy trying to get the congregation to worship, … [Read more...] about What about Followership?

Rainy Day Planning – Wise or Disobedient?

January 18, 2012 by Anthony Russo

In his famous and wonderful devotional book My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers warns “Do Not Calculate Without God”. So often we make our plans and neglect to honestly factor God and His will first and foremost in them. By contrast Chambers lists three points in his devotional for July 5th (I was flipping through and came across it). First, the obvious, “Don’t calculate without God.” Second, “Don’t calculate with evil in view”; we know there is evil in the world, but we ought to live and plan in ways that don’t exhibit a guardedness because the world is evil. Third, “Don’t calculate … [Read more...] about Rainy Day Planning – Wise or Disobedient?
