The three Lenten disciplines

Last updated on: March 1, 2017 at 7:21 pm By Gerald McDermott

Today is Ash Wednesday, when Christians around the world have ashes put on their foreheads to represent mourning and repentance. This is the first day of Lent, when we follow in the footsteps of Jesus as he prepared for his public ministry by spending forty days in the desert wrestling with Satan. It is a time for us to clean house spiritually, to examine our lives for sin, repent, and draw closer to God. (more…) Read more

Scot McKnight on Famous Stutterers

Last updated on: February 20, 2017 at 6:01 pm By Gerald McDermott

I am very grateful to my friend and fellow Anglican Scot McKnight (who, BTW, is an important NT scholar) for featuring Famous Stutterers on his blog today. Here is some of what he wrote: If you stutter, this book is for you; if you know folks who stutter, this book is for you; if you minister in a church, this book is for you. I see this book the way I see Adam McHugh’s book on introversion. The book will awaken you... Read more

Bearing fruit in old age

Last updated on: February 19, 2017 at 7:07 pm By Gerald McDermott

The Psalmist wrote that the righteous “still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green” (Ps 92.12, 14). I don’t know if the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was righteous (his life included, according to the Wall Street Journal, “a scandal-making affair, a murdered lover . . . three marriages and two divorces”), but he was an extraordinary illustration of bearing fruit in old age.

Truth download on Israel

Last updated on: February 14, 2017 at 11:25 am By Gerald McDermott

There are more truths per column inch in this article about Israel than you will find just about anywhere. The author is a professor at the University of Paris. Here are a few examples: Gaza was occupied by Egypt for 19 years until 1967, and the West Bank was occupied by Jordan until 1967. Both occupations were unsanctioned by international law. In 1977, Zuheir Mohsen, a PLO leader, said bluntly that the Palestinian people were invented for political purposes. When... Read more

More dissent among climate scientists

Last updated on: February 13, 2017 at 1:32 pm By Gerald McDermott

We often hear that climate scientists are all agreed that we are facing a crisis, and that government action on CO2 emissions is desperately needed to save the planet. Here is more evidence (there has already been more than plenty) that not all climate scientists are agreed. (more…) Read more

Revivals and history

Last updated on: February 10, 2017 at 11:50 am By Gerald McDermott

Scripture suggests that the course of human history is both directed and fragile. By fragile I mean that nothing in history per se determines inexorably its future direction. God controls history, but human beings make voluntary choices. The sum aggregate of those choices is often determined by a very few critical choices, with long-term consequences for the whole world. The great Cambridge University historian Herbert Butterfield wrote in his magisterial Christianity and History (1949) of the “unspeakable liquidity” of history. “Indeed, if Mr. Churchill...

Jesus in the gospels is the best cure for doubt

Last updated on: February 1, 2017 at 9:55 am By Gerald McDermott

Every believer is beset by doubts from time to time. There is plenty of evidence for this in the lives of the great saints and theologians. I have found that the best remedy for doubt is reading the gospels. Seeing their realism and observing the stunning miracles and crystalline words of Jesus strengthen my faith repeatedly.

Trump, Churchill, and God’s Laughter

Last updated on: January 30, 2017 at 10:57 am By Gerald McDermott

There wasn’t much laughing at Trump’s inauguration, but then presidential inaugurations are solemn affairs. After all, the leadership of the Free World is changing hands. But in this time of great tension for both conservatives and liberals, it might be instructive to recall that God seems to laugh a lot. Today at Providence, I reflect on whether God laughed at Trump’s inauguration: Click here. Read more
