Almighty God, You Have Built Your Church

Last updated on: June 30, 2018 at 9:44 am By Scot McKnight

Almighty God, you have built your Church upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone: Grant us so to be joined together in unity of spirit by their teaching, that we may be made a holy temple acceptable to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. BCP Read more

Elders Acknowledge Bill Hybels’ Sin; Heather Larson Apologizes

Last updated on: July 2, 2018 at 2:38 pm By Scot McKnight

From Willow Creek’s elders: With the blessing of the Elder Board, Heather and Steve have made statements that reveal their hearts on the issues facing our church. We support them and join with them in their desire to respond with a more repentant and honoring spirit. We apologize and ask for forgiveness that the tone of our initial response was not one of humility and deep concern for all the women involved. It takes courage for a woman to step... Read more

Pride And Humility At War

Last updated on: June 30, 2018 at 11:13 am By Scot McKnight

Pride and Humility at War Lanier Burns is senior research professor of theology at Dallas Theological Seminary. Since 1973 he has served as president of Asian Christian Academy in Bangalore, India. David George Moore conducted the following interview. Some of Dave’s videos can be found at www.mooreengaging.com. [Personal note: During my first semester at Dallas Seminary I took a theology class with Lanier. It is where I first experienced the life-giving reality of a theology professor preaching his class material!]... Read more

Ah, Italian pizza: People have been eating pizza, in one form or another, for centuries. As far back as antiquity, pieces of flatbread, topped with savouries, served as a simple and tasty meal for those who could not afford plates, or who were on the go. These early pizzas appear in Virgil’s Aeneid. Shortly after arriving in Latium, Aeneas and his crew sat down beneath a tree and laid out ‘thin wheaten cakes as platters for their meal’. They then scattered... Read more

Thank You Steve Carter

Last updated on: June 29, 2018 at 8:51 pm By Scot McKnight

From Steve Carter, teaching pastor at Willow Creek. Thank you for this public apology (and more can be read at the link). Last night, I had a chance to share with the Elders what has been on my heart. On Wednesday, Scot McKnight wrote a post expressing concern that a profound injustice has been done regarding the women who made allegations against Bill Hybels and the subsequent Elder process investigating those claims. I agree with this conclusion. Specifically,... Read more

Paul And The Desire For Fame In The Church

Last updated on: June 29, 2018 at 11:07 am By Scot McKnight

https://soundcloud.com/user-212639123/paul-and-the-desire-for-fame-kr-96 How should Christians view achieving fame, status, and honor? In the ancient world, males were especially addicted to achieving as much fame and honor as possible. This honor was pursued along what was known as the cursus honorum. The cursus honorum was the path to achieve this status. It would be nice if the present world didn’t suffer from this unhealthy approach to life, but we know it all too well. Paul has some subversive and important words to Christians in the ancient... Read more

The Time It Takes to Become an Overnight Success

Last updated on: June 28, 2018 at 8:33 pm By Scot McKnight

By Mike Glenn One of the hottest musical artists in the nation right now is Chris Stapleton. His recent song, “Tennessee Whiskey” and the album it was on, “Traveler,” sold over 2 million copies. The song is a well-played twist on the typical Nashville drinking song. Instead of drinking, Stapleton sings to his wife that he’s quit drinking to get “high on your love all of the time.” That was 2015. When the song first came out, everyone wanted to... Read more

Our Biggest Stumbling Block (RJS)

Last updated on: July 1, 2018 at 7:08 pm By RJS

I’ve been quite busy this last week – so I’m posting a lightly edited repeat of an older post. This is one I really think we need to take to heart. Quite awhile ago now Alister McGrath published a short book well worth reading: Doubting: Growing Through the Uncertainties of Faith. At one point in this book he makes the following observation: It is very common for Christians to find themselves isolated at work or ridiculed for their faith. They... Read more

To Pray “Thy Kingdom Come”

Last updated on: June 24, 2018 at 9:10 pm By Scot McKnight

What does it mean to pray that “thy kingdom come”? We are looking at Philip Ziegler, Militant Grace: The Apocalyptic Turn and the Future of Christian Theology. It is eschatological, it is theological, and it is christological, and opens with theological abstraction that becomes more clear as the chapter proceeds: In short, I suggest that praying “Thy Kingdom Come’ faithfully means inhabiting an eschatological field shaped decisively by both christological and apocalyptic coordinates, and that petitioning God in just this way...

About Willow Creek: What Do I Think?

Last updated on: June 28, 2018 at 5:25 am By Scot McKnight

I’ve been asked by at least fifty different people, both in person and via the Internet, what I think about what happened at Willow Creek Community Church. Which means I’m asked “Scot, you were part of the church for almost a decade, so what do you think happened?” What I think can be reduced to this simple assertion: Willow Creek Community Church, including Bill Hybels, the Elders, and now lead pastor Heather Larson and lead teaching pastor Steve Carter, have...
