NEXT!
Posted by clearly in evangelism, others who see clearly on February 25, 2009
Since I’ve been sharing these with my friends on google reader and since a commenter pointed them out yesterday as well, I commend to you the NEXT! series over at Team Pyro (written by Dan Phillips).
Here’s my favorite one:
Challenge: I think you can make the Bible mean anything you want.
Response: So, you’re saying that the meaning of the Bible is objectively fixed and crystal-clear?

Thanks to Chris at A Little Leaven for making these videos available for viewing. Ken Silva also has the transcripts available on his page via Rick Freuh. Thanks guys for both your perspectives and for doing some leg-work here. Read the rest of this entry »
This is the best blog post I have ever read…
Posted by clearly in daily_thought, emergent, others who see clearly, rob bell on April 1, 2008
Tim Challies writes the best paragraph on Emerging/Emergent that I have ever read.
Kudos, Tim.
Allow me to add to Tim’s “you may be emergent if” list.
1. You love Jesus but hate what Paul has done with his teachings.
2. You pray the rosary even if you aren’t a Catholic.
3. You listen to Bruce Springsteen to receive sacramental grace.
4. You have a coexist bumper sticker on your fuel efficient, foreign vehicle.
5. You use phrases like “platonic dualism” with your church members. Actually, you don’t believe in church membership; you just choose to live in covenant community.
Emerging Soteriology on WOTM Radio
Posted by clearly in emergent, others who see clearly on November 8, 2007
So yesterday, I read this over at Christian Research Network and noticed that Doug Pagitt had been on the Way of the Master Radio program. To make a long story short, I sent Todd Friel a paper I recently wrote on emerging/emergent soteriology. He read my email and used some of the content on the last 10 minutes or so of the program. If you are interested, you can listen here.
“A Little Leaven” Reports: “Me-centered Church”
Posted by clearly in others who see clearly on July 25, 2007
Chris Rosebrough reports that a certain “pastor” says something like this in regards to finding a new church: “If the service is longer than 71 minutes, you probably should find another church.”
Who’s focusing on the superficial and peripheral now? Certainly not those rigid fundamentalists…
Dr. MacArthur on McLaren…
Posted by clearly in others who see clearly on July 17, 2007
Pastor Ken Silva of Apprising Ministries brings this story which includes an audio interview of Dr. John MacArthur.
Brian McLaren continues to attack the body of Christ by infusing toxic venom into her bloodstream. After being asked a simple question concerning eternal destinations, McLaren responds,
“I have a problem with people asking me this question, because it assumes that the primary reason of Jesus coming and the primary message of Jesus was a message of how to get to heaven.“
Hollywood and God…Ray Comfort
Posted by clearly in others who see clearly on July 12, 2007
I saw this piece over at Slice of Laodicea. Ingrid links to a new Ray Comfort clip in which Ray asks professing Christians about movies and blasphemy. Take 5-6 minutes, watch this clip, and then be ready to be very convicted.
Titus, focus on doctrine…
Posted by clearly in daily_thought, others who see clearly, theology on July 7, 2007
How would you like to try to solve church problems among perpetual liars, evil beasts, and continuous gluttons? It probably wouldn’t be the first choice that comes to my mind when contemplating future ministry. But let’s face it — God has not called us to simply teach the taught — to gospel the gospel-ed — to train the trained. The task of Titus was daunting discipleship and church organization among a shameful people — his strategy, as delineated to him by Paul, was founded upon a deep trust for God, his Scripture, and the sound doctrine which flows thereafter.
Paul uses the word, “doctrine” at least four times in his short letter to Titus. I would like to highlight the first one in this post.
First usage: 1:9
Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Anyone have some soap for Tony’s mouth?
Posted by clearly in emergent, others who see clearly on July 7, 2007
I can’t believe I missed this post over at Apprising Ministries. The national coordinator for the Emergent church is apparently having troubles with orthopraxy (proper practice). Apparently, TJ dropped the infamous f-bomb in reference to the Bible.
“The Bible is an ______ing scary book.”
Does anyone see it ironic that the man who insists that orthodoxy (right doctrine) is identical with orthopraxy (right practice), can’t seem to get either straight?
Chris Rosebrough…new podcast
Posted by clearly in others who see clearly, rob bell on July 3, 2007
Chris Rosebrough started a new podcast entitled, Fighting for the Faith; you can listen here for free.
The first episode dealt with some of the problems with Rob Bell; I listened and thought it was good, especially for a first episode. Keep ‘em coming, Chris…
