A Lesson on Theological Conversation from Tony Jones

Last updated on: May 17, 2013 at 6:56 pm By David Hayward

Tony Jones has been accused of making offensive statements and he’s come to his own defense in his post “I’m Tired of Being Called a Racist”. If we are interested in clear and clean communication within the theological community, then there are few lessons to be learned from this unfolding story. 1. It might be time to look inward if we have been accused of something more than once. Actually, Jones has been accused of saying things that were “borderline racist.”... Read more

the keys to freedom

Last updated on: May 17, 2013 at 7:56 am By David Hayward

Liar. Maybe intentionally. Maybe naively. Paul said we’ve been bought with a price, so don’t become the slaves of men again (1 Corinthians 6:20). He meant we are already free. Freedom is ours. It is a reality. These people don’t know it. The keys to their own freedom lie everywhere. The same for the teacher. Unfortunately, they are a part of a system that supports slavery but they can’t see it. There is a difference between formal freedom and actual freedom.... Read more

Mark Driscoll’s Apology

Last updated on: May 16, 2013 at 6:32 pm By David Hayward

Recently Mark Driscoll said, “I know who made the environment and he’s coming back and going to burn it all up. So yes, I drive an SUV.” He apparently received so much backlash from it that he decided to issue an apology. But it’s not an apology. It’s an explanation. Here’s a short lesson in apologies. A good apology is when: 1. you apologize for something you said or did 2. you take responsibility for your words or actions 3.... Read more

let’s blame women for what men do

Last updated on: May 16, 2013 at 8:15 am By David Hayward

I appreciate people sending me ideas for cartoons. So yesterday I had several people inform me that Pat Robertson was up to it again. Sometimes things are served to you on a silver platter. And sometimes I get tired of the same old stuff. But I couldn’t let this one go. This man has a lot of influence so I felt like taking this one on. You can check out the video where Robertson responds to a woman asking how... Read more

two rooms, two experiences, two theologies

Last updated on: May 15, 2013 at 6:20 pm By David Hayward

I remember the trouble I caused when I first posted this cartoon years ago. It upset a lot of people. But that exactly is the problem. If we are not able to hold two contradictory ideas in our mind at the same time then we are unable to think maturely, deeply or wisely. Integrative thinking looks at this cartoon and says, “Of course. This happens. Both are right.” The inability to do this is called fundamentalism, plain and simple. Read more

how an atheist reaches out to a believer

Last updated on: May 15, 2013 at 9:24 am By David Hayward

I like the writing of Steven Olsen. For example, his recent post, “Gorilla’s, Starship Commanders and Your Brain” is a good read. Interesting and informative. And I like his sense of humor. Olsen writes for the atheist channel at Patheos. I read atheist writers and blogs for many reasons. One of the most important reasons is that I believe many atheists help to keep me honest. I have an inner atheist and so I think it wise to take care of... Read more

have you lost yourself?

Last updated on: May 14, 2013 at 5:53 pm By David Hayward

I’ve been busy creating my Sophia book, “The Liberation of Sophia”. I have over 50 drawings. There are still some originals available, and they are all available as fine art prints. I’m compiling the several posts I have already written about her and tweaking them. I love the one and only canonical story about Jesus as a boy found in Luke 2: 41-52. His mom and dad took him on a trip to Jerusalem. On their way home they realize... Read more

Metaxas and male heroes only please

Last updated on: May 14, 2013 at 8:29 am By David Hayward

Eric Metaxas has written a new book, Seven Men and the Secret of Their Greatness. I can’t talk about the book since I haven’t read it. But he has been interviewed about it by Kathryn Jean Lopez of the National Review in her article, “Raising Good Men”. I love her opening question: “Why a book about men? Does this prove that there is a Christian disdain for women?” She also asked why he wanted to return to “Father Knows Best”.... Read more

female pastors and porn

Last updated on: May 13, 2013 at 6:43 pm By David Hayward

I read an interesting story about a magazine’s report of women in ministry. The January/ February issue of Gospel Today was a contentious one. Its lead story is “Female Pastors”. The five female pastors who are featured on the cover are Pastor Sheryl Brady of The River in Durham, N.C.; Pastor Tamara Bennett of This Is Pentecost Ministries in Sacramento, Calif.; Bishop Millicent Hunter of The Baptist Worship Center in Philadelphia, Pa.; Pastor Claudette Copeland of New Creation Christian Fellowship...
