Secrets in the Dark

Last updated on: May 13, 2009 at 7:14 am By Tim Suttle

“Humanly speaking, if we have any chance to survive, I suspect that it is men and women who act out of that deep impulse (which is best described with words like tolerance, compassion, sanity, hope, justice, love & self-sacrifice) who are our chance. By no means will they themselves bring about the Kingdom of God. It is God alone who brings about his Kingdom…We cannot make the Kingdom of God happen, but we can put out palm leaves as it...

Philosophy

Last updated on: May 7, 2009 at 7:57 am By Tim Suttle

I had a friend throw Colossians 2:8 at me the other day. We were having a conversation and he was trying to correct what he thought was a flaw in my current spiritual path. He saw me as too open to the post-modern philosophies of the day and that this was allowing me to let too much “doubt” in and made my categories of truth too fluid – not so black and white. He wanted to talk about truth and... Read more

Truth is a person

Last updated on: April 30, 2009 at 7:01 am By Tim Suttle

As I’ve been reflecting on this week’s lectionary passage for Sunday, and upon last weeks passage and sermon, I’m still enthralled with the concept of truth in the scriptures. Today’s lectionary reading fed the fire as well. These are the two passages that stoked my imagination and just a couple of thoughts. 1 John 520And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we...

RCap

RC for Redemption Church – cap for re-cap…get it? I’m going to attempt to recap the previous week’s research and message each week here on the blog. If you want to listen to the messages I’m giving, you can go to the RC Website. The Road to Emmaus04.26.09Luke 24:13-35 This week at RC we talked about the story of Jesus on the Road to Emmaus. This story is one of the most complete and well developed resurrection stories. N.T. Wright... Read more

The Green Man

Last updated on: April 17, 2009 at 10:01 am By Tim Suttle

So every evening while in the UK, we would walk the half a block down to the Green Man pub in Hurst, Berkshire. I have no real frame of reference in Kansas City, or America for that matter, through which to describe these little English pubs, especially the Green Man. If there was a place like this in town, I’d drive there every chance I could. The timbers in the roof were made from decommissioned ships and are over 1000... Read more

Where God Happens Book Discussion

Last updated on: April 9, 2009 at 6:42 am By Tim Suttle

At Redemption Church this Lent, we’ve been studying Where God Happens by Rowan Williams. It’s been a fruitful sort of online Lenten book club. Scott Savage and I have been midrashing this book together, hoping to assist people as they wrestle with the material. We’ve been recording the sessions and posting them here. Williams is the Archbishop of Canterbury – the head of the Church of England – and he’s brilliant. This work is packed with great information, but it’s... Read more

Good Words

Last updated on: April 7, 2009 at 7:13 am By Tim Suttle

I’m trying to learn about 2000 words over the next year or so. I am learning how much I love language and vocabulary in particular. Precise words packed with meaning and connotation are an incredible tool. Here are a few good words: desultory: having no purpose, plan or inthusiasm; aimless; haphazard; digressing at random; lacking a plan.obdurate: unmoved by persuasion, stubbornly resistant to moral influence.intractable: not easy to control or deal with; hard to work with.cabal: a small group of...

English Mind-Control

Last updated on: April 6, 2009 at 7:46 am By Tim Suttle

It’s been a couple of weeks since Kristin and I got back from England. So far we’re still plotting our return. Something about that place just sort of gets under your skin in a way that makes the suburbs feel a little dessicated. Just a few faves: – Ate fish & chips at “The Eagle and Child” in Oxford. It’s the pub where the Inklings hung out during the 30s and 40s. – Spent a day in Oxford and saw... Read more
