Four, Seven, and Twelvefold. A Public Conversation about Christianity and Evangelicalism in the 21st Century. Tuesday, November 25, 2008. On the theological end:. Is the attempt to convert non-Christians to Christianity a legitimate undertaking? If so, how do you deal with questions of imposing our point of view on others who don't share it? Isn't this just a kind of colonialism? Has the Church always been wrong and we're just getting it right now? On the practical end:. Is it just a live-and-let-live si...

Four, Seven, and Twelvefold. A Public Conversation about Christianity and Evangelicalism in the 21st Century. Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Although I realize that no parent wants to see their son or daughter doing drugs, I felt that his obvious comparison of his two daughters was very painful. He gives off a very strong impression that he is proud of his missions minded daughter and ashamed of his daughter who is struggling (even if he isn’t ashamed, this is the aura that was portrayed). Trev, those are s...

Four, Seven, and Twelvefold. A Public Conversation about Christianity and Evangelicalism in the 21st Century. Saturday, April 4, 2009. I’m wondering if any of you could elaborate on the community aspect of salvation. If salvation is about “being part of communion with the Triune God in Christ together with all the saints, as sort of a first outpost… of the Kingdom of Heaven”, what does that look like? To me it probably needs to be said that while salvation is ultimately. It is like we're trying to correc...

Four, Seven, and Twelvefold. A Public Conversation about Christianity and Evangelicalism in the 21st Century. Sunday, April 19, 2009. The Things We Cant Keep Straight. People love you the most for the things you hate. And hate you for loving the things you can't keep straight. Derek Webb, "This Too Shall Be Made Right," The Ringing Bell. So instead of another question and debate, let's try this. What is that thing that you can't quite make fit in your theology, but you think should fit? But I would love...

Four, Seven, and Twelvefold. A Public Conversation about Christianity and Evangelicalism in the 21st Century. Friday, April 10, 2009. Please feel free to keep discussing the other questions below this post. but since this is Easter weekend I have a question for you all. How can we TRULY celebrate Easter in church without it turning into a clichéd painfully dull religiously ceremonial hat-tip to Jesus' death and resurrection? You can find my musings on the subject HERE. April 10, 2009 at 4:58 PM. I resona...

Four, Seven, and Twelvefold. A Public Conversation about Christianity and Evangelicalism in the 21st Century. Thursday, December 18, 2008. I'm going to tell you my most "memorable" Christmas that I've had. Unfortunately, this story is best told in person with many sound effects and imitations of the people involved, however, my attempt at the written version will have to suffice. Tuesday, December 16, 2008. So tell us a story, whatever story you like. Tuesday, December 9, 2008. What is the point. I'm goi...
