fire or fire?

In our reflection today, Debs and I read 1 Peter 1 which has so much to say about the connection between suffering and sanctification. The mystery of joy, of being saved, in the midst of sometimes severe suffering is surely the mark of a saint. But on reflecting on how many [...]

frost on fire

Here is a video of my co-conspirator Frosty, talking about missional church, missional God. Mike is one of the best public communicators alive today. Enjoy…

woody allen on meaning and meaninglessness

 

It is impossible to experience one’s own death objectively and still carry a tune
Eternal nothingness is OK if you’re dressed for it
The universe is merely a fleeting idea in God’s mind–a pretty uncomfortable thought, particularly if you’ve just made a down payment on a house

quotes and their meanings

“In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king” - Erasmus
I am starting a series of some favourite quotes. Feel free to interpret them. This one is particularly open-ended.

the twilight of atheism

acting our way into a new way of thinking

As should be obvious by now, we need to develop our ways of knowing God to be able to be true disciples. But it goes beyond just adding right actions and feelings to the equation of right knowledge, I believe the place for us to start is by focusing on the action piece [...]

the full monty (…of discipleship)

Not forgetting Orthodoxy: Having noted that orthodoxy (right belief) is not enough, I am not suggesting that it is not important. Far from it! Right belief is an irreplaceable element of any discipleship in the way of Jesus. However the church nearly always sees orthodoxy narrowly,  as a commitment to propositional truth, assuming [...]
