LEGATO...: July 2015
http://johnjbarber.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Connecting all things in Christ. Saturday, July 18, 2015. A Little More Chutzpah Please. Since the Court's decision on same-sex marriage, I’ve read numerous writings by pastors about how the church should respond. In general, they say we should be clear that the gay lifestyle is wrong, but as well we should be compassionate, loving, gracious, fence-builders, and ready to offer a defense of the faith. I recall the day of 9/11. As soon as I heard word of the attack, I ran around the North building of C...

Connecting all things in Christ. Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Ten Reasons John Maxwell is Wrong. John Barber, Ph.D. I just watched a video produced by John Maxwell. His principles are used in churches and in the corporate world. Let me tell you what I think is wrong with this video. 1 God does not call us to "be more" but to decrease that Jesus may increase. 2 Pastors aren't called to "coach" people but to shepherd them. 3 We're not called to inspire people to "greatness" but to holiness. My Almost for Hi...

LEGATO...: When the Pillars Are Removed
http://johnjbarber.blogspot.com/2015/06/yearsago-robert-bork-wrote-book.html
Connecting all things in Christ. Monday, June 29, 2015. When the Pillars Are Removed. Years ago, Robert Bork wrote the book, Slouching Toward Gomorrah. In time, we starting running toward Gomorrah. Now we’re there. But now that we’re here, a large problem faces freedom-loving people. Tyranny. Let me explain. You’re all right. There are no wrong answers. I mean, we wouldn’t want to infer that any one’s personal moral choices are wrong, would we? Then there is written law. What we are left with is whoever ...

LEGATO...: My Facebook Exchange With a Homosexual
http://johnjbarber.blogspot.com/2015/07/my-facebook-exchange-with-homosexual.html
Connecting all things in Christ. Wednesday, July 1, 2015. My Facebook Exchange With a Homosexual. I recently had this exchange with a homosexual on FB. I think this should be our direct answer to anyone in, or who supports, this sin. It's the gospel. The homoexual is replying to someone else when I chimmed in. Let this be our most central and loving response to all who oppose God's creation ordinance of marriage between a man and woman. I did not hear back. Not yet. July 1, 2015 at 10:23 AM. One Kingdom:...

LEGATO...: October 2014

Connecting all things in Christ. Wednesday, October 1, 2014. The Failure of Worldview Education in Christian Colleges. John Barber, Ph.D. Christian colleges are right to stand for and to teach a biblical world and life view to their students. However, the worldview curriculums of the majority of these schools are comparative. Why do schools’ worldview syllabi deemphasize Jesus’ practical, healing perspective? I will offer one possible explanation. It has been my anecdotal observation that among those...

Connecting all things in Christ. Monday, August 26, 2013. Reflections on the Rwandan Genocide in the Light of James 3:7-9. John Barber, Ph.D. How could marauding bands, led by the Rwandan government, systematically slaughter one million men, women, and children with such a thorough resolve and with seemingly no conscience? HOW could such a thing happen? Referencing the human tongue, James 3:9 says “ With it we bless. Lord and Father, and with it we curse men,. 8220; Then God said, “Let. Such hypocrisy wa...
