Posted in Church, Theology on May 25, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

The Problem With Making Christianity a Religion of Rules

Posted in Theology on May 21, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

Matt Perman: There are three problems with seeing Christianity primarily in terms of following rules. First, this notion is just wrong. Second, it obscures the fact that the solution to our problem is not following rules, but forgiveness. Third, it gives the impression, as William Wilberforce said, that Christianity is “a system of prohibitions rather [...]

Mike Breen: Leadership is one of the most over-used and overwrought topics in Christian ministry today.

Timmy Brister writes: Growing up, I was trained to think the way Christians grow is from experience to experience. Church services were the weekly “experiences” intended to give you the fuel you need to “make it through the week.” Youth camps where the “mountain top” experience where you “rededicated” your life to live more wholeheartedly [...]

Christianity – a religion or something else entirely?

Posted in Church, Theology on April 24, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

Tim Keller: To most people in our society, Christianity is religion and moralism. The only alternative to it (besides some other world religion) is pluralistic secularism.
