God Is Not the Gospel – “Lately I’ve noticed that Christians in general (and I include myself in that number) have been equating the Father, Son, and Spirit with the gospel…..Now, why does this bother me? Is this just another example of me being a nitpicky jerk who doesn’t have enough to do? Quite possibly. But I don’t think so. The reason this phenomenon bothers me is because it seems to rob the Trinity of some of their glory.”
There Was No Golden Age – “I often ask my students to give me a quick summary of church history. It’s a good way to see what they know, and, more importantly, what they think they know. The results are fascinating. Beyond the unsurprising fact that most know very little about the story of God’s people between the end of the New Testament and the day before yesterday, the stories usually have at least one thing in common: a Golden Age.” (H/T)
What’s a Christian business owner supposed to do? – The president of Tyndale House publishing writes about the effect of the HHS mandate on them and why they are joining the lawsuit against the government. (H/T)
I’m Going to Vote – “So my suggestion to all who wonder if they should vote is: Tell as many people as you can the good reasons why you are disaffected with the whole thing; then go to the polls and take a burden-bearing, pro-active risk rather than staying home and taking a burden-dropping, reactive risk.”
A Cure for the “Most Christians” Blues – “Well, here’s something the Lord has been convicting me of lately; the use of “most Christians” or “many Christians” when describing something I think is important when evaluating the Evangelical landscape. And I know I’m not alone. Since I’ve been more cognizant of it, I’ve noticed that others do it too – in conversations, on social media, in blog posts and even in books. It’s normally accompanied by a lament of something that is wrong that these “most” or “many” are guilty of.”
