http://clfnotes.blogspot.com/2015/02/dont-get-immunized-spiritually.html
Faith and culture - how they relate to, inform, and correct each other. Sunday, February 15, 2015. Don't Get Immunized . Spiritually. Immunizations are suddenly newsworthy again. Should we immunize our kids or not? Regardless of your answer, immunizations have saved hundreds of thousands of lives. Spiritually, it usually works backward; We become inoculated from the real life God wants us to live. One common spiritual immunization is called "Giving Back". In a subtle way, we're worshiping our community b...

Faith and culture - how they relate to, inform, and correct each other. Thursday, April 14, 2011. Love Wins by Rob Bell - A Review. Much of the controversy surrounding "Love Wins" by Rob Bell. In my opinion, he hasn't crossed the line, but he has asked several probing and uncomfortable questions that many Christians are afraid to ask and few are able to answer. Here are a few passages of "Love Wins" that I question or challenge. On several occasions, including page 58, Bell asserts that there is a "futur...

Faith and culture - how they relate to, inform, and correct each other. Saturday, March 26, 2011. God Loves Us . . . Really. God loves us but sometimes it doesn't sound like it. In the second chapter of the Old Testament. God says to Adam and Eve, "if you are disobedient you will surely die." The Deceiver whispers, "He didn't really mean you would die." Then we see it in real life. There are also reports that the accident occurred on a section of the track that had been repaired last year. Did someone wh...

The 87 year-old man admits this, but argues that he did not take part in gassing the Jews.

Faith and culture - how they relate to, inform, and correct each other. Wednesday, May 6, 2015. National Day of Prayer - Thursday, May 7. We are really no different from them. We are no different from the children of Israel with their backs to the sea and facing certain annihilation at the hand of Egyptian charioteers. Fear grips us. There is no way to avoid devastation. We cry out to God and He replies, “The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still.” (Exodus. The National Day of Prayer belongs...

We grieve the “death” of a fictional character more than the actor that brought him to life. Then there are the people we love to hate; the evil team owner, or coach, or quarterback that “always cheats.” The elected official on the “other side” who lies through his/her teeth and wants to destroy the universe...President George Washingt...

Faith and culture - how they relate to, inform, and correct each other. Thursday, April 9, 2015. Its not about them, its about us. In the church, and in civic leadership, we cannot point to our leaders and blame them for all of our problems. Nor can we elevate individuals to hero-, or Savior-, status and expect them to deliver us. Our problem is not partisanship or ideology. It is not "right" or "left". It's not even arrogance in our leaders or lack of integrity. Our challenge is personal and individual.

Faith and culture - how they relate to, inform, and correct each other. Thursday, February 5, 2015. Immigration . Maybe They're Both Wrong. Support for immigrants cost him his party's nomination for President. Lincoln went on to become President in 1860 instead of William Seward, who became the Secretary of State in Lincoln's administration.
