Millard Erickson has a book called Postmodernizing the Faith where he summarizes the different approaches that the Christian community is taking in response to the postmodern plight. I think it is a great and valuable study. Let me give you a brief summary with some slight alterations of my own.

I will give a brief overview now and then expand on each option in the blogs to follow.

This is indeed very sad news. I really did not expect this at all. It has blind sided me. Just when Reclaiming the Mind Ministries was moving forward with such affectiveness. Just when I was getting settled in my faith. Just when my prayer life was taking a turn. I can’t believe that they actually found Christ’s remains. All this time we thought He was in heaven–the God-Man. Go figure that I would get this wrong. I guess I will be sending out my resume. Not sure what good a Th.M. does anymore though.

Well, it is about time. I don’t have any idea how this escaped my notice but it looks like Walden Media, the force behind the movie Chronicles of Narnia, has decided to move forward with a the Screwtape movie project. This movie should be done really well. Douglas Gresham, C.S. Lewis’ faithful stepson has been heading up the project. I actually had the opportunity to talk to him about this when he was in town a couple of years ago. I have eagerly be anticipating its arrival. I would be in prayer about this movie as it has the potential to make a very unique impact and have a very large appeal in our culture. Once again, the legacy of C.S. Lewis lives on, moving beyond whatever his hope or dreams could have ever imagined. Thank you Lewis. Continue Reading »

Here is a great post from my friend Bob Practico at Sojourn Huntsville Church. I love #10 (in an irenic sort of way ) Continue Reading »

Catholic apologetics is more robust today than it has been in the recent past. Since Rome has given more freedom of exploration and discover along with the encouragement for Catholics to study the Scriptures, there have been many Catholic apologists preparing Catholics to defend the faith. This apologetic engagement has been interesting due to the rise of the emerging church and its general attitude toward apologetics which is apathetic at best, and antagonistic in some emerging circles (but that is another story).

Besides the obvious (enrolling in the Introduction to Theology course starting March 12), this looks like a great book to start your cultural prolegomena. I have not read it yet, but have it ordered. What a great way to get to know the culture. What courage and patience this pastor must have to adventure intellectually and missionally in such a way. Continue Reading »

One of the difficulties in church ministries these days is understanding the dynamics and ethos of those in our culture today. We must ask and evaluate the thinking of those we are trying to reach. This is nothing new. Those who have had studies in missiology understand its importance. Missiology is the study of missions, in which the student is prepared to engage in another culture.

Read this article.

Notice in particular this statement: ““Unless something drastic is done now, the Church will lose a whole generation of leadership” to the infotainment industry, he warned.”

This is happening. People are not finding solutions in most local churches today.   Continue Reading »

 What is the role of the Holy Spirit? What is the role of the Holy Spirit today? Why is there so much division among believers about the role of the third member of the Trinity? Don’t miss this session of Converse with Scholars Thursday night. My good friend Dan Wallace will be joining the program once again. If you have yet to meet him, please stop by and say hello and

We are going to be on Paltalk again, but, as you may know, we have purchased our own room so you will not get the ads.
