I have been following the conversations surrounding the cancellation of an invitation for Shane Claiborne to speak at Cedarville University with keen interest. Jeremy Bouma posted a letter from Dr. Ruby at his blog. Jeremy is a Cedarville alum and offers a unique perspective on the events of the last week.
Dawn also offers some poignant [...]
Kingdom Grace posted a number of wonderful pictures which are representative of key words in the emergent church conversation as well as many other parts of the Church. They are words inherent to Gospel living.
I re-post them here with a HT to Kingdom Grace. I also found the comments exchanged in response to her pictures [...]
Listen to me, all of you in far-off lands! The LORD called me before my birth; from within the womb he called me by name. Isaiah 49:1
I have been meditating on this verse as I prepare to preach Sunday. A recurring theme in the lectionary texts for Sunday is that of being named by God. [...]

You can also download the Christmas carol chord charts.

“Sweet mother of pearl”
This one is used as some would use “holy cow” or “oh my gosh”.
“When I saw all the Christmas shopping traffic downtown today, I loudly exclaimed “sweet mother of pearl, that’s a [...]
I’ve added Bradley Wright to my links to blogs that I visit regularly. He has a good post on November 26 in which he writes about the characteristics of good blogging. How often should one blog. Quality over quantity and questions like that.
Haven’t had much time to blog lately. Ira is on sabbatical so I’m picking up with a few more things at SMC. Extra time given to refugee support as well.
