A missions theology based solely upon God's glory and love also poses some difficulties. This theology of missions is very ambiguous and open ended, lacking a true vision or focus that the church can grasp. In contrast, a Kingdom Theology of missions provides the necessary vision of destroying the works of the devil while [...] Personally I now see the center of all theology and, as a result, missions as the Kingdom of God. The phrase the “Kingdom of God”, or “basileia tou theou” in Greek, refers to the reign and rule of God over all creation. This concept goes beyond personal salvation or the idea of Christendom [...] Just received an email saying that I received a 96% on my final paper!!!! Much happiness!!! A HUGE thanks all those praying for me this Fall – God answered your prayers (assuming that you were praying for me to pass….). A special thanks to my bride who talked me out of writing [...] A large chuck of my recent grad paper was devoted to comparing the different missions theology of various authors. Of course, before I could compare anything, I had to figure out what in the world was a "missions theology"!!! In a nutshell (jokes about my brain being the size of a nut can stop), [...] One of the five top popular stories on the BBC this week is about lingerie shops in Damascus. (How's that for an interesting story?) Near the end of the article, the reporter addresses the issue of sex within the Muslim culture.

But very, very close to our front yard – seeing that our "yard" or dirt is seperated from the community park by a fence. In addition to the live nativity, the whole [...] DUDE!!! I’m getting ready to enter into the 20th straight hour (not counting the four hour nap) of working on my first “real” graduate level paper. And boy did I underestimate the time evolved in writing a paper of this level… I was still thinking like an undergrad – you know, sit down [...] It was like warm fuzzy goodies to stomach – hmm.. maybe not “fuzzy goodies”, unless by “fuzzy” you mean coconut and not green fuzzy things… Anyway…. This morning I stopped into Starbucks (thanks to a cool BD gift card!!) for a cup of coffee and a stimulating theological / missiological discussion. Ah – [...] Did the Massachusetts health-care work? Are people better off because of the plan? Or worse? While I try to keep up on what’s happening on the national scene, I’m not a political junky.. .as such, the only news I’ve heard about the Massachusetts health plan is negative. It seems that it has, and is, [...] The second of the three volumes Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini was pretty dang good. (click here for a review of the first book) My greedy hands obtained the audio book on Thursday and didn’t let go until Monday evening – 20 CDs and 12 plus hours later…. much to my demise as the [...] |
