John Piper and the Prosperity Gospel

Last updated on: March 26, 2008 at 2:04 pm By missionchrist

My Friend Ron Just showed me this video this weekend. For me it was a powerful reminder of some things about God that sometimes I forget. Check it out! I am curious how some of you guys feel about this little video. In particular my readers who fall somewhere outside Christianity. But I’d love to hear from everyone. What should the church do in third world countries? I’ve been reading “Everything Must Change” by Brian McLaren recently. Has anyone read... Read more

Blood Curse

Last updated on: March 19, 2008 at 11:11 am By missionchrist

This week I went to mass with my Girlfriend, who is a catholic, and the account of the crucifixion found in Matthew was read. One verse in particular stuck out to both of us. It’s found in chapter twenty-seven. I’m sure many of you are familiar with it. It’s known as “the bood curse:” In the greek it reads: Ιδων δε ο Πιλατος οτι ουδεν ωφελει αλλα μαλλον θορυβος γινεται, λαβων υδωρ απενιψατο τας χειρας απεναντι του οχλου, λεγων αθωος... Read more

Tattooed Jesus Part II

Last updated on: February 17, 2008 at 4:29 pm By missionchrist

In the last post we talked a lot about why people get tattoos. But I didn’t mention the primary reason I get tattoos. For me a tattoo is more then anything an expression of who I am at a point in my life. For me the process of getting a tattoo is something like this. Inspiration – I often find an image or an idea for a tattoo. If it’s an idea I try to create it with my limited... Read more

Sorry for the delays I’ve been really busy with a series and some coffee stuff. We’ll hopefully have my Galatians series up here soon, and also part 2 of tattoo Jesus stuff! I got an E-Mail this morning from a friend and I thought I’d post it and my response. I think it’s an important issue to think about. This is one of those issues about which I am completely torn apart. I know a lot of people reading this... Read more

Tattooed Jesus

Last updated on: January 26, 2008 at 3:55 pm By missionchrist

These days tattoos are everywhere. All the kids are getting them and ever a good number of grandma’s are jumping on the ink n’ needle train. And I think that’s splendid. I love tattoos! I really do. I have 9 at the time of writing this and I’m working on a new piece with a friend of mine this week which will hopefully make it to an epidermis near you soon. But why do people get tattoos? Sometimes a tattoo... Read more

Goats, Granola, and Guatemala

Last updated on: January 15, 2008 at 10:46 am By missionchrist

The Following is a sample chapter from a book I’m Working on… Please let me know what you think!-Billy It all started with a goat. At least that’s how the legend goes. A herder in Eastern Ethiopia noticed members of the herd had an extra bounce to their step. The goats had been doing what goats do best, eating whatever they find. And what they found were coffee cherries. Soon the goats were prancing around like the cast of Riverdance,... Read more

Identity and Church

Last updated on: December 16, 2007 at 12:12 pm By missionchrist

This morning I was supposed to teach at my old home congregation. I woke up dug my car out of a pile of snow and skidded into Ann Arbor where my suspicions were confirmed that church was cancelled. There was however a small remnant there that had come to prepare the morning meal for the Youth Group, which it didn’t look like would have the critical mass present to proceed. This created a bit of a quandary. There were stacks... Read more
