It has been almost nine months now since my article “Postmodern Biblical Authority?” was published on www.theooze.com. I have heard many positive comments and some critiques, but nevertheless it has been a fun journey (it is funny how most of the critique has happened on the comments section of the article on The Ooze). This article was not so much addressing the ‘whole’ of my view of Biblical authority (for that, read The Last Word: Scripture and the Authority of... Read more

UPDATE: After you read this post and comment, Mason pointed out a very good article from Christianity Today written by Historical Christian Scholar Mark Noll (he is read in seminaries across America)… It asks similar questions from a historical perspective. _____________________________ ORIGINAL POST: I want to start out this post with a huge disclaimer… what I am about to say may sound radical or irrational to some. I also want to say that I have a great respect for those... Read more
This is my first attempt at a Video Blog. I figure that now that I have converted to MAC-ism, that I should put it to good use. Give me your input on this idea as a whole, and what the video addresses. By the way, if you have a mac or a pc with a camera, you have the option to post video comments as well 🙂 (Facebook folks, you will have to come to my site to view the... Read more
Here is an excellent video to ponder on the meaning of Revelation as a whole, and in regards to the Mark of the Beast in particular. Let me know what you think… Read more
In seminary you come across great teachers and books that you probably wouldn’t encounter otherwise. I have been blessed to sit under Dr. Tim Geddert in multiple settings over the last couple of years. One of his books, Double Take: New Meanings From Old Stories, is a book that I HIGHLY recommend if you are a teacher or preacher or simply enjoy fresh insights!!!! In one of the chapters, he draws out a ‘new meaning’ of a text that has... Read more
Below is a quotation from evangelical Christopher J.H. Wright (who I am told is taking up the mantle of John Stott in the UK) in The Mission of God: Unlocking the Bible’s Grand Narrative. This was a challenging book that gave me a larger framework for understanding what it means to be a missional Christian. For a long time, I have been convinced that ecology should matter to Christ-followers. But when I read our “quote to ponder” for the first... Read more
Click on the title of this post to see a great video on the theory of evolution in a nutshell. It is posted at BioLogos, a theistic evolution site. Great website for resources on this particular perspective on creation. Let me know your thoughts on the video and commentary… Read more
Last night, I spoke in my local church and gave out a resource for study that charts out the “big picture” of the people of God in the Biblical narrative. A key point was to note that in the Bible, God has always only had one people group. Check out this image (Right Click and Open in New Tab): It has often been assumed that God has two separately distinct peoples that he is working with in the ‘big... Read more
UPDATE: Woodland Hills Bridge ‘podrishioner’ Site adds more to the conversation! Click on the link to hear several insightful comments including Greg Boyd! (June 27, 09) _______________________________________ ORIGINAL POST: I want to start this post by confessing something: there are sections of Scripture that would be much easier to simply erase. If God would give me a “delete” button to use on the Bible, I would be tempted to eliminate the portions that give me the most grief. Before I... Read more
