Your Unique Self by Marc Gafni

Last updated on: January 29, 2014 at 3:09 am By Jim Erwin

This is a book about spirituality – a very long, thick book. At 25 chapters, in six parts, spanning over 360 pages (including appendices which are an additional 150 pages), this book was a long read. After reading a couple of chapters, one noticed the sense that this is another self-help book, devoid of the need for God as the source of life. The book explains in (too much) detail about the way each person is unique and is able... Read more

Holy Terror by Mel White

Last updated on: June 15, 2018 at 10:02 am By Jim Erwin

Holy Terror by Mel White Holy Terror by Mel White, subtitled Lies the Christian Right Tells Us to Deny Gay Equality is a book review – this review comes from a pro-traditional marriage view. I have to say that I was hesitant to read this book, as I knew that it would present issues and ideas from which I differ. I come from a Southern Baptist evangelical background. I do not identify myself as a fundamentalist, however, I do part... Read more

Matthew 4:12-23 Goin’ Fishing with Jesus

Last updated on: January 26, 2014 at 4:06 am By Jim Erwin

Matthew 4:12-23 Goin’ Fishing with Jesus Brad Paisley has a song called “I’m Gonna Miss Her” also known as the “Fishing Song.” The song is about the fact that Brad wants to go fishing.1 But doing just that may change his life. He may lose his wife. He uses humor to drive home the point. He’d rather be goin’ fishing than anything else. In the text we read today, Jesus makes the same point. He wants you to go fishing...

Living the Questions: Saving Jesus Redux DVD Series

Last updated on: January 21, 2014 at 8:35 pm By Jim Erwin

This DVD series, produced by Living the Questions, claims that “kidnapped by the Christian Right, discarded by the Secular Left, Jesus needs saving.” This 12-session series repackages Jesus with a Christian progressive viewpoint. Let me say from the outset that I struggled to review this series. The primary reason was because it does not present orthodox Christianity. In many ways, this DVD series was a criticism of mainstream evangelical Christian thought – going so far as to suggest that “the... Read more

But God…by Casey Lute

Last updated on: January 21, 2014 at 4:27 am By Jim Erwin

But God…by Casey Lute Casey Lute, the author of But God… analyzes places in Scripture where this phrase is used. His conclusion is that the phrase “but God” is critical to understanding God’s part in our salvation process. With a very thorough biblical analysis (with Reformed theological positions), Lute provides a very fascinating case that God is the beginning, middle, and end of our salvation. The idea is based on the verses in the Bible which highlight God’s role in salvation,... Read more

God’s Favorite Place on Earth by Frank Viola

Last updated on: January 20, 2014 at 5:03 pm By Jim Erwin

God’s Favorite Place on Earth by Frank Viola God’s Favorite Place on Earth by Frank Viola was a delightful read. Frank Viola has written a wonderful book. He uses the place of Bethany, the hometown of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus as the basis for his contention: everyone needs a loving community to come home to. He calls Bethany God’s favorite place on Earth because this was the place Jesus went when He needed rest, comfort, and a place to call... Read more

In the End, It Is All God’s Work In the End, It Is All God’s Work is a sermon from 1 Corinthians 1:1-9 about God’s Work in our lives and how He changes it for the better. In the end, it’s God’s will. “Paul, called as an apostle of Christ Jesus by God’s will, and Sosthenes our brother:” (1 Corinthians 1:1, HCSB) Paul felt that it was important for his readers to remember the common relationship that they shared...
