Jan 19: My One Sentence Bible

Last updated on: January 19, 2013 at 5:05 pm   By Andrew Marin

What is My One Sentence Bible? When you view life through the lens of the Spirit instead of our own mind, confusion opens into understandable concepts. [John 3:1-15] Plain and simple, Jesus is love. [John 3:16-21] There will come a time when your greatest priority must be to allow another to step to the front. [John 3:22-36] Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more

Last updated on: January 17, 2013 at 10:09 pm   By Andrew Marin

What is My One Sentence Bible? Just a small amount of faith gives you a reality never imagined. [John 1:43-51] Contemporary stigma doesn’t necessarily translate to biblical era stigma. We must keep an eye to culture to understand the scriptural principles. [John 2:1-11] When caught in the wrong, people try to rationalize their way out of trouble through logic instead of recognizing the impact of faith. [John 2:12-25] Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more

I Just Got Uninvited from Speaking at the United Nations

Last updated on: May 1, 2013 at 3:05 pm   By Andrew Marin

A few weeks ago representatives from the United Nations who were interested in holding a panel discussion about the international criminalization of homosexuality reached out to me to participate. They thought it would be good to have an evangelical representation on the very progressive panel, someone who has also been outspoken against the criminalization of homosexuality and reparative therapy. Those are both things that I have clearly spoken and written about (here and here), among other places. Since 2010 I... Read more

What is My One Sentence Bible? You don’t have to fully understand, or even personally see something to revere its reality and impact. [John 1:1-18] The vocation of some is to never see what their work produces. For others it is to reap the benefits of those who came before. Both are a testament to faithfulness. [John 1:19-34] A good leader knows when to pass their followers on to someone else who can take them further. [John 1:35-42] Much love.... Read more

What is My One Sentence Bible? You never know what random conversations might just reveal Jesus himself. [Luke 24:13-35] Doubt is a normal and acceptable part of faith. But even in the doubt don’t forget to keep your eyes pointed toward Jesus. [Luke 24:36-49] When a miracle happens, whether you understand it or not, thank God.

Huge Announcement by Famous UK Pastor Steve Chalke

Last updated on: January 15, 2013 at 11:32 am   By Andrew Marin

[Luke 23:26-32] Never forget to practice humility within the most intense of moments. There in-lies the Kingdom of God. [Luke 23:33-49] We will never be able to put God’s mystery in a box, no matter how much we think we know. [Luke 23:50-24:12] Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more

What is My One Sentence Bible? The most difficult thing you will ever have to do is live in your identity when you’re the only one in a crowd of accusatory people. [Luke 22:55-23:5] The one thing that two entities who hate each other can only ever agree on is how much they mutually hate a reconciler. [Luke 23:6-12] Poor leadership is listening to the ones yelling the loudest instead of sticking to what you know is right. [Luke 23:13-25]... Read more
