1....interesting comment, poorly executed theology:<br /><br />1. God's name is never used in vanity in this post.<br />2. "hell" is not profanity. It is a place and a biblical term. If it were profane Jesus probably shouldn't referenced it and i shouldn't preach about it. Also it is hot, and talking about it freezing over is an accurate description of an unlikely occurance, just like a donkey fitting through the eye of a needle.<br />3. There are no swear words referenced in the Bible. We are not to swear by earth, heaven, or God's name...in terms of...cursing others. [IE: I real "curse" like witchcraft. Cursing is taboo. Cussing and swear words are non biblical realities each must follow thier conscience about.<br />4. Comment is more focused on victorian morality and legalistic holiness than a clear Biblical understanding of convictions, conscience, and commandments. See Galatians at length where Paul tells people to "cut off their penis" if they are so excited about about circumcision.<br />5. I was in this place once, so i understand it. Reading Galatians; the ragamuffin gospel, the grace awakening, RC Sproul, M Driscoll, and J Aldrich lifestyle evangelism helped a lot. BUT reading Jesus and his explainations of holiness helped far more.<br />6. thanks for comment but the Biblical and theological presuppositions inherent in it are deeply flawed and...sillydavid sherwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01953498664528923105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250579107773474617.post-13248023200219787782009-06-09T07:09:42.288-05:002009-06-09T07:09:42.288-05:00"That will be a cold day in ____."
Br..."That will be a cold day in ____." <br /><br />Brother, if you think that leaving the word blank makes your statement pure, you need to think again. God commands purity in our thoughts as well as our speech and actions.<br /><br />We who are ministers of the gospel, appointed to call men to holiness, need to take seriously the command of not taking God's name in vain. <br /><br />We pray, "Hallowed be thy Name" because we want anything associated with God's holy name(such as His titles, word, works, and worship) to be used and regarded with the utmost respect by ourselves and others.<br /><br />Think also of the weaker brother. Most today come from a realm where profanity is all to common. It is a miserable thing for men who are ordained to holy offices to set such an example.Matt Timmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00860612330871285648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250579107773474617.post-25089603593677424922009-05-29T06:31:57.684-05:002009-05-29T06:31:57.684-05:00Good post, especially the critique of Barna's ...Good post, especially the critique of Barna's book. You are exactly right, Barna throws the proverbial baby out with the bath water.<br /><br />The church always has to remember that parachurch ministries exist because the church failed to tend to her duties in those areas (notice how most parachurch mins. are evangelistic in nature). Yet para's need to remember that they are (typically) not under the proper oversight of authorities Christ has appointed for the guarding of the flock (Acts 20:28).<br /><br />A really good book for the importance of a local church (written particularly with college students in mind) is The Enduring Community (http://www.goodtheology.com/inventory.php?target=indiv_book&id=644&thesub=&themain=)<br /><br />A biblical defense of the necessity of local church membership can be found at http://covenantchapel.blogspot.com/2009/05/case-for-membership-or-why-should-i.html.Matt Timmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00860612330871285648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250579107773474617.post-7592010864642346532009-02-25T15:14:00.000-06:002009-02-25T15:14:00.000-06:00I love this image "where angels drip with water an...I love this image "where angels drip with water and icicles from the bell towers of saint elizabeth,"<BR/><BR/>It has nice music to it too.<BR/><BR/>This is a great piece.
