I’m Tired of Being Blamed. You Make the Choice.

Last updated on: May 1, 2013 at 7:15 pm By Andrew Marin

It took all of about 5 minutes for someone to get upset with my recent post about the gay marriage interview I did. It struck me as legitimately funny that I actually didn’t know which of the sides was going to make their displeasure known first. [insert: “the life of a bridge builder between opposing worldviews”] The first just so happened to be a more progressive individual, not at all pleased with how I engage by elevating the conversation. In... Read more

Part 1: Interviewed by Church Marketing Sucks on Gay Marriage

Last updated on: May 20, 2013 at 9:29 am By Andrew Marin

The good folks over at Church Marketing Sucks recently asked me some questions about engaging in the gay marriage debate from the perspective of their predominantly conservative evangelical audience. You can see the original post here. For your convenience, I have also posted it for you to read here: “Gay marriage is a lightning rod issue these days. Just ask the good folks at Chick-fil-A. While that entire fiasco drew lots of headlines, what didn’t get so much attention was the reconciliation that... Read more

May 1: My One Sentence Bible

Last updated on: April 28, 2013 at 6:49 pm By Andrew Marin

What is My One Sentence Bible? Influence comes from God; not conferences, companies, denominations, blogs, famous people, governments or media outlets. [John 19:10-16] Cultural prescriptions will never override what actually happened. [John 19:31-37] “You can kill the dreamer but you cannot kill the dream.” -MLK Jr. [John 19:17-20:31] Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more

April 30: My One Sentence Bible

Last updated on: April 28, 2013 at 6:32 pm By Andrew Marin

What is My One Sentence Bible? Jesus did not hide from living, speaking and working within the public discourse. Followers of his must have the courage to be as faithful and bold. [John 18:15-27] Cowards use any means available to them to wrongly accuse those bringing a new peaceful way to live. Others are scared enough to believe them. [John 18:28-40] A leader must decide for themselves when to go with their gut; even in the face of total... Read more

April 29: My One Sentence Bible

Last updated on: April 28, 2013 at 6:19 pm By Andrew Marin

What is My One Sentence Bible? You cannot have peace without joy and pain. [John 16:16-33] Prayer is more about thanking God for opportunities to copy Jesus and being empowered to bring heaven to earth, than anything else. [John 17:1-26] Jesus continually reminds his followers they cannot fight and engage others the way culture deems normal. [John 18:1-14] Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more

April 27: My One Sentence Bible

Last updated on: April 26, 2013 at 5:29 pm By Andrew Marin

What is My One Sentence Bible? You know those who love Jesus by how they love others because that is what Jesus taught. [John 14:22-15:17] Perspective: Is your personhood hated by others? Or is it the way in which you counterculturally engage life in very hateful spaces? [John 15:18-16:3] There is a time to learn and then a time to act upon what you learned. Continue this cycle… [John 16:4-15] Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more

Last updated on: April 26, 2013 at 2:21 pm By Andrew Marin

Sorry for the absence of My One Sentence Bible series! Here it begins, again… What is My One Sentence Bible? People always want to make secondary issues primary. To Jesus, ‘love’ is always primary. Stop confusing ‘love’ for what you think is more important, because it’s not. [John 13:31-38] Jesus is a flesh representation of God. Thus, you know God’s primary concern is ‘love’ because of Jesus. [John 14:1-7] What you believe you are certain of. And what you... Read more
