In Romans 3 we read about the wages of sin being death. And we are rightfully taught that this refers to spiritual death and in some cases physical death. But when I've ever heard teaching on spiritual death, it always seems like this is happening after we die. But lately I've been thinking that this is happening all around us (sometimes in us) all the time. And, that this spiritual death process

What might it look like if we lived-out love? Imagine a group of Christians blessed with very pure hearts with a burning desire to live-out love as taught in Scripture. Also imagine that these folks are also blessed with wisdom and intelligence for developing an approach/method that is effective, sustainable, and sensible. A group of Christians, working together, living for Jesus in the

As I was reading this morning, a few thoughts crossed my mind. It's about the New Testament and what is not there. In Acts we have the record of how the Church began and grew with specific examples of notable conversions. While the disciples were gathered in the upper room, the Spirit blew in and got things started. Then we have the message to the Jews that was preached at Pentecost in which the

I've really been engaged by the message of 1 John. Scott has been doing a great job of leading discussions of the text on Sunday nights.One idea has drawn my attention. This point is not the main point of 1 John, but I think it is a critical secondary point. It is the idea that evil has a mind. By "mind," I am getting at the idea of evil as an intelligent and organized force that is actively at

We have dear friends that we traveled with to adopt our daughters from China back in 2007. They are currently adopting again. This time, a son, from China. I am thrilled to give you the chance to get involved in helping another child come home to where they belong.....in a Christian family that lives in a free country! You have the ability to take part in something incredible and of God.

And I'm still learning in many ways that I cannot trust myself, and so what follows in this post is a lesson from the broken road that I trust will lead to a life God intended for me. I hope this

This morning, God spoke to me about something I had never thought about before. I was reminded of the price that was paid for the removal of my sin, but then I was given the thought that someone had to set that price......the price that each of us is worth.....the price set in advance so we could be bought back.

Tonight in Bible study, Jason made an excellent point: we've got to understand that the United States and the Kingdom of God are not the same thing. I believe that at this point in history, many of us will soon come to realize just that, if we have not already.I've enjoyed reading through various parts of the Old Testament for Wednesday night classes because my eyes are opening to some things I

I have been throughly enjoying Richard Beck's blog series, "The Varieties & Illusions of Religious Experience." I have wanted to link to it many times; however, one needs to read the whole series to appreciate the context of Richard's assertions. The series wrestles with how religious belief functions in the life of the believer as she goes about the management of her life. This approach is in

I heard yesterday about the military coup in Honduras - how the military overthrew a corrupt president. And how our president, Obama made a statement in support of the overthrown leader. Of course our government would come down on the side of the corrupt. After being in Honduras, I'm pretty sure our culture could learn a thing or two from some of their overly simple practices. Over throwing a

As you can see, the main idea that I've expressed is really very simple. Most folks with whom I've talked agree with the sentiment. At least it can be said that most of us would agree that we must constantly guard against "missing the forest for the trees."What is unusual is that I have labeled the pursuit of right doctrine as a constraint to understanding the concept of God's kingdom.

What is meant when it is said that doctrine is not an end? I asserted this in a sermon a week ago last Sunday evening. Consider this possibility: A person can be doctrinally sound yet spiritually inept. Doctrine can be likened to law. We certainly understand what is meant by the difference in speaking of "the letter of the law" versus "the spirit of the law."Religion must, at bare minimum,

I hope you read this post from Mike Cope: 1989 and Churches of Christ.I had not previously given much thought of that year being significant for our brotherhood. In 1989, I graduated from high school and made my way to Harding University. I very quickly embraced the manner of thinking expressed by the books mentioned (published in 1989 or soon thereafter). There is good reason for this. Prior to

How are we going to not only survive, but, be productive in this present age of ours? My answer is this - we must figure out how to firmly embrace conviction and humility simultaneously. By humility, I am specifically indicating a humility with regard to my own inner confidence about my convictions. In other words, I am attempting to be a man of conviction while simultaneously remaining mindful

A couple weeks ago, I was talking with Mike Anderson about one of his conversations with David Lewis years ago about some passages in John's Gospel and the reason for Jesus's miracles."Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent." - John 6:29"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his

One of my friends visited last Sunday - she's looking for a church. I wanted to say thank you to everyone who made her feel welcome. I'm proud of our church and that any given Sunday/Wednesday people can hear the undiluted Word coupled with kindness.

I've been studying in preparation for leading Sunday evening Bible class during April. The text will be Colossians.I've been looking closely at the openings of Paul's letters. It seems that Paul accepts the life of the "church" itself to be the best evidence of the validity of the gospel message."Too often appeals to the objective truth of the gospel have served as a means for the church to evade

One thing learning about the Old Testament Law will do is open your eyes to the power of Christ's sacrifice. Lat night we were discussing the beginning of the sacrificial system with the errror and death of Aaron's sons- Nadab and Abihu. The incredible amount of blood shed that was required to keep God from annihilating the people due to their sinfulness. Looking backward at this through history

I went for a walk Saturday afternoon back through the hills. The snow and ice had not melted yet - it was beautiful and refreshing to be outdoors climbing through the woods. During this walk I was reminded in simplicity about certain aspects of God's Word.The road I was walking narrowed as I came to the top of the hill, and it forked. Soon the path faded into a small animal trail going through

Realizing that going on about presuppositions, assumptions, and theological paradigms, probably makes little sense to many folks, I would like to provide an example.I've become friends with David Garshaw.

I just recently ran across this blog, BRIDGING THE GRACE DIVIDE. The author, Todd Deaver, explains that he had been a "conservative" church of Christ preacher for 15 yrs. He has come to believe the theological paradigm that undergirds conservative church of Christ assertions is internally flawed. He articulates his reasoning in a book he has authored and on the above referenced blog. Mr. Deaver (

Here's a blog I hope many will check out: Bridging the Grace Divide. Todd Deaver has found the conservative CofC theological paradigm to be problematic. This view puts him at odds with important figures within his own family. He is working to make sense of these issues in a manner that can ultimately promote the good of the CofC brotherhood and, of course, his own family.

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9We've all heard this verse many times and it's been taught to us something like this: we are saved by grace and that our salvation is a gift from God - not based on anything we have done. This application is correct, but I wonder if

Being the aspiring geek that I can sometimes be, I frequently buy books that offer insights into life. Oftentimes, I find it ironic that a lot of those insights (if they are based on solid wisdom) reflect on Biblical truths. In fact, I would dare say that all true knowledge ultimately leads back to God and His truths. I'm a little excited right now, because I've happened onto a title that I think

There can be no doubt that we are a broken people. We try to fix ailing schools with money, we cover loneliness with activity, and we entertain our children to make them behave. We buy ourselves things to feel better. We are working hard for things that will not last while important relationships suffer. And while we grow rich, fat, and entertained, the inner needs of the heart are rarely, if

Of course, it strains credibility for a man under the duress of arrest and false accusations and beatings and the threat of crucifixion to have maintained the presence of mind to focus on the fact that Pilate would be in the clutch of a moral dilemma, and to understand that the moral dilemma would press the voice of conscience upon Pilate in a way that would coincide with Jesus’ mission to bear

If the truth were known, many of us have spent years building up defenses against love. Life has made us afraid. We’ve been hurt too many times. And here we discover one of the major weaknesses of a caring life: We begin to demand that others return our care. If they don’t, we’re crushed . . . and we build a defense. After all, no one is going to run over us! So we’re back to square one:

A while back, I showed Landon Saunders' Night Without Vision on a series of Wednesday nights. I received a lot of positive feedback then. I just recently showed the video to my Wednesday morning study group. This group consists of folks from differing denominational backgrounds. I have been excited to see them embrace the impetus of Landon's message. One member of the group expressed that this is

I noticed the plug in the bulletin regarding the upcoming Leadership Retreat. I get a "difficult to describe" feeling when I think of the retreat. When I became a deacon, one of the things that excited me most was knowing I could now attend the Leadership Retreat. I imagined a weekend of nonstop dialogue about our collective ministry at Sunshine. I assumed we would talk about what's going well,

Please get the sports schedules for your teens to me as soon as you can so I can add the schedules to the calendar on the teen blog. I would like Jr. High as well as High School schedules.

In the book Pagan Christianity? authors, Viola and Barna, make a very interesting statement about the evolution of Christianity. You might imagine that change took place in a series of continual increments, little by little, throughout the 2000+ years since Christ. This is not the case. Viola and Barna state, "There were three historical periods when a bevy of changes were made in common

I have been reading Pagan Christianity? The book was co-authored by Frank Viola and George Barna.Being a card-carrying member of the Church of Christ, I was struck by the driving impetus of this book. The authors decry the present-day state of Christianity because of having “...added a raft of humanly devised traditions that have suppressed the living, breathing, functional headship of Jesus

We all have dreams to be important, for people to like us, and to earn a lot of money. So I guess materialism to me is a combination of wealth, importance, and friendships (things that I want here on earth) I have found that over the years, a faith that requires everything could certainly get in the way of such dreams or plans - and it does. When such a test comes we often do not pass. I've

Our modern American way of life is a blessing, but it may also be more of a curse than we realize. I wonder if that's partially why clearly transformed believers are seem to be so uncommon these days. To say our priorities are out of whack is an understatement. Worshiping God is relevant to us only when we "go to church." Our lives seem to accomodate God in varying degrees, but it's obvious that

In the earlier post regarding the California judge's decision, I expressed my lack of support for any effort, on the part of Christians, to avoid or ignore ideas and philosophies that defy the Christian worldview. The contrast is between striving to be a well-informed critical thinker versus the adoption of an anti-intellectual mindset. As I have stated, I believe the anti-intellectual mindset is

Focusing on marriages and children as the mission of our congregation may have seemed a little exclusive to those of us who are single, widowed, teenagers, or divorcees. However, if we look beyond the apparent limitations of this mission, we should, after a little thought, find ourselves somewhere within the scope of this focus. After all, we have all been shaped and influenced by our family

Every 4 years a World Convention is held in a different part of the world. The World Convention is a gathering of all three streams of the Stone-Campbell Movement (Churches of Christ - a capella, Christian Churches/ Churches of Christ, and Christian Churches/ Disciples of Christ).

I get asked a lot about my views regarding the Presidential campaigns. I am always slightly embarrassed to let it out how little attention I give to what is truly an important matter. My problem is a lack of inspiration. I am not inspired by anything I hear regarding the high offices of our nation. I am inspired by past presidents. I like Ike (warning against Military-Industrial complex). I like
