Keeping the wheels turning. Because I promised to write once a week. Reaching back from the edges. January 25, 2008. Recently there has been a growing interest, perhaps fixation, on those extreme examples of people living the Christian faith. Radical’ is en vogue; guys like Shane Claiborne, Mike Yankoski fill speaking halls across the country and lots of people are dedicating themselves to living deeply missional, incarnational lives seeking justice and fighting poverty. This is undoubtedly a good thing.

Make Poverty History? (3 of 3) | keeping the wheels turning
https://ericlange.wordpress.com/2008/05/31/make-poverty-history-3-of-3
Keeping the wheels turning. Because I promised to write once a week. This is the last part of a 3-part post. Earlier posts are here. Poverty is a deep issue beyond simple material needs, and therefore it cannot be overcome through simple economic development alone: even as world hunger is eliminated, this basic ideological and social reality of “poverty” will remain unchanged. The divide between rich and poor is growing, and the poor are still ignored and marginalized. 8221; as much as possible. Thos...

Keeping the wheels turning. Because I promised to write once a week. Eternal life, 1. October 29, 2007. When I was younger the big focus on Christianity seemed to be on eternal life. First, it was getting it getting your boarding pass for the next level of living. After you’ve got that down, you have to make that eternal life even sweeter by ‘storing up treasures in heaven,’ to make life comfortable once you’ve died and moved on. Eternal life is taken as a synonym for future, unending life. But, I think ...

Keeping the wheels turning. Because I promised to write once a week. The scandal of the cross. February 21, 2008. In the last 18 months I have been more involved and interested in serving others than I ever had before. In very different situations with kids and youths in Africa, among the homeless in Winston-Salem, and with people struggling with addiction in a structured recovery program I’ve developed relationships with and spent great efforts to show love. There have certainly been encouraging moments.

Keeping the wheels turning. Because I promised to write once a week. Cities, 4 – God’s unit of transformation. March 29, 2008. Returning to the concept of cities I had previously mentioned how cities are often depicted as centers of human sinfulness. However, God’s plan for the future unvaryingly refers to a future urban way of life. So, how do we go from point A to B? It’s a daunting task. The big cities of the world have deep-seated and complicated issues. They declared a fast and all of them. He risks...

axis mundi, and leaving the centers of power | keeping the wheels turning
https://ericlange.wordpress.com/2008/06/09/axis-mundi-and-leaving-the-centers-of-power
Keeping the wheels turning. Because I promised to write once a week. Axis mundi, and leaving the centers of power. Much of the book of Hebrews explains the story of Jesus within the context of the Israelite history and culture. Near the end of the letter, the author includes a paragraph that mentions how sacrifices were made back when the Israelites were wandering around the desert, and how that tradition relates to the death of Christ (13:11-14). With this sentence the tables are turned: no longer invol...

Keeping the wheels turning. Because I promised to write once a week. July 3, 2008. Sorry for the sporadic posting the past few weeks – the beginning of summer meant major changes in my schedule. I’ve been out of town a bunch over the weekends, and I just started a new job – so things may still be bumpy for a while until I get into a routine. But, the posts will continue. In the meantime, I wrote a book review for a group called the Ecclesia Collective out in San Diego. The link to that is here:.

Keeping the wheels turning. Because I promised to write once a week. These next three posts come from a request to write a post over at. Where I had to be brief. I had no such limitations on my own blog, but I divided my thoughts up into 3 posts to make it a little easier to follow. One of the major issues that this program faces is a very simple one: exactly what is “poverty? This entry was posted on Saturday, May 31st, 2008 at 9:56 pm and is filed under Uncategorized.

Against the elders and leaders of his people:. 8220;It is you who have ruined my vineyard;. The plunder from the poor is in your houses. What do you mean by crushing my people. And grinding the faces of the poor? Declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty. (Isaiah 3:13-15). You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0.
