So, if Jesus is the center, his life, death, and resurrection culminating in the reality that he is Lord, how does this apply to mission? How does this reality determine how we ought to live and act as his followers?Well, that's just it, we have to follow. I really like what Rt. Rev. Dr. David Zac Niringiye says here, it has been stuck in my head. We are to be followers.If Jesus is the center...

Before the beginning...
If we are going to be wrestling through what we believe and how those beliefs drive us to mission then we need to determine what is the controlling idea. In a previous post I outlined my presuppositions. Now, I want to give what I think is the controlling idea that we need to have at the center of our doctrine.While some would argue for beginning at the beginning, Genesis, I think we need to start...

Where's the 'Real'?
I am being struck more and more by my inability to be quiet. I get uncomfortable. It makes me feel like I am missing something if 'the Twitters' or the 'the Facebooks' are turned off. Heaven forbid, I don't access my email.When I study the Scriptures it strikes me that the same is true. I don't settle down and respond in the quiet moments that follow. I move on to what is next.I...

The Beginning
As I stated in my previous post, we are going to go on an expedition with God to see how what we believe matters and how it determines the ways by which go on mission. Any good expedition requires the right provisions.So what are our provisions?I think we must start with a brief discussion of my own presuppositions. The reality is that none of us are 'objective'. We all have passions, history,...
