Straigth From The Horses Mouth
Been an interesting week and I appreciate all the dialogue you readers have provided. Jeremy Bouma, has a couple of interesting posts lately exploring why he’s frustrated with the emerging church. And in this post he said in response to Rob Bell’s theological framework. “While it is true that humans cannot earn their salvation, it is not true that humans …

To understand this post you might need to review the previous two posts here and here. I said: And with that I began to realize why people have so many theological disagreements. Our faith is in our interpretation of Scripture, as opposed to Jesus. As much as I love Scripture it’s Jesus once removed. I find it interesting that Ken …

In it, Eckman and His Holiness explore the nature of reciprocity, or the idea that any structure we create for ethics is only validated …
Tradition! Tradition!
“Traditions, traditions. Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as… as… as a fiddler on the roof!” Tevye, Fiddler on the Roof. I was sitting with my kids the other day when they asked me, “What are we having for dinner?” Someone said, “Pizza,” so we headed out to the local pizza joint to enjoy a little combo …
