Question 5: What is theology?
One of the electives I chose for my first semester at Princeton Seminary was The Spirituality and the Theological Legacy of the Dionysian Forgery, taught by Dr. Rorem. I really had no idea why I was taking this course, and that became even more apparent during the first class session. And [...]

Thanksgiving Prayer

Thanks to Dave for the reminder of this poem. I heard it for the first time in my speech class this semester, and I thought it was juste beautiful. A good prayer for us on this Thanksgiving, as many of us are sitting down to the table right around now. Enjoy y’all!

Open Theism thoughts…
August 23, 2004
Jen Lemen hooked me up with this article by Huntington College professor Dr. John Sanders, entitled: “On Heffalumps and Heresies: Responses to Accusations Against Open Theism” (PDF here). I had a chance to read through it this past weekend while traveling to/from Idaho, and I really enjoyed it for the most part. I’m still working [...]

Then we’re all off in the morning for a hike somewhere in the Northern Cascades. We’ll hike tomorrow and hang out, camp, etc., and [...]

Niners Camp: 2nd Night
July 6, 2004
Camp is continuing to go well. I gave a talk on God’s Creation yesterday; focusing on how we can listen for God and experience/encounter God through God’s Creation. Andy followed up last night with the ultimate creation of humanity, and God’s love and design that God put into us. We laughed a lot last night, [...]

“Do you love God?”
June 15, 2004
This is the question my good friend John asked me as we talked a few nights ago. It seems like a no-brainer. Do I love God?? Well…yes. It was odd when he first asked me - my first reaction was, “Where is he going with this…? Do I love God? Of course I do. I [...]

God’s Most Magnificent Creation
February 16, 2004
A friend sent me a note a few days ago [along with The Landry News, by the same author as Frindle]. It was a quote by Augustine:
We stand in awe of the ocean,
The thunderstorm
The sunset,
The Mountains.
But we pass by
A human being
Without notice
Even though
The person
Is God’s most magnificent Creation.
Let us not pass by God’s most wonderful [...]

God is……a dude?
January 21, 2004
Last night we were sitting around the room at high school youth group, talking about the “essentials of the faith” - what does one really have to believe to be a follower of Christ? We talked about baptism, Jesus’ crucifixion and then got to…”God.” We talked a bit about the language we use for God, [...]
