Adventures of the Spirit. Journeying to know Jesus better. Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Cultural and Countercultural: Negotiating the Tension. In my last blog post ( Why I am Obsessed with Change. In many ways, the gospel is the very antithesis of culture. Instead of self-sufficiency, Christ asks us to surrender to and depend completely on him (Jn 15.5). Instead of self-assertiveness, Jesus calls us to deny the self (Lk 9.23). Do we emulate culture where we ought to be countercultural, while at the same...

As I mentioned last time, Richard Dawkins’ main argument in The God Delusion. 8221; Dawkins asserts that Intelligent Design or theism does not answer the question of what or who caused order, but simply removes it to another place, time, or realm:. Whatever caused time/space/matter/energy cannot be another inanimate, impersonal, materialistic entity, as tha...

Adventures of the Spirit. Journeying to know Jesus better. Thursday, January 6, 2011. And is there something we can learn here? On the other hand, can it be said that the sweetest friendships for a Christian are among his or her Christian brothers and sisters? Do non-Christians really make better friends? On the other hand (am I starting to sound like Tevye? I think so. At least as real as I am. And I can't ask anymore than that of anyone. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There was an error in this gadget.

Adventures of the Spirit. Journeying to know Jesus better. Monday, May 5, 2014. I grew up watching Star Trek, and I love the most recent series of Star Trek movies, especially Star Trek Into Darkness. Superbly highlights this dichotomy between logic and emotion . The conflict between reason and emotion is not merely the stuff of science fiction, however. It is a constant battle among Christians as well. In fact, it is a battle we all fight within our own selves. Is it even reasonable? The root word for e...

Adventures of the Spirit. Journeying to know Jesus better. Saturday, April 9, 2011. Richard Dawkins and "The God Delusion". Last week we began to take a look at some of the arguments used by Richard Dawkins and the “New Atheists” who are gaining such a voice. As I read Dawkins’s The God Delusion. I am struck with several things. First, there. Is a contempt for religion and religious people that. Beyond reason. Even his fellow atheists. Ridicule and caustic insults. For example,.

Adventures of the Spirit. Journeying to know Jesus better. Friday, February 20, 2015. Why I am Obsessed with Change. First, the changes that I believe need to be made in our churches are not merely about a response to changes in culture. Yes, they are somewhat about culture, and culture has been the spark to a call for change. As our culture dramatically changes, the church is called to change in order to stay contextual and "relevant." Dare I use that dirty word “relevant”? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Adventures of the Spirit. Journeying to know Jesus better. Tuesday, January 11, 2011. Continuing the thought from last week about Christian vs. non-Christian friends, let's take a look at Jesus. Who were his friends? Who did he prefer to hang with? And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, 'Behold My mother and My brothers!
