John Perkins

Last updated on: September 22, 2008 at 7:48 am By Tim Suttle

I went to hear John Perkins with my wife and some friends the other night. Here are some of the notes from that talk. He’s amazing. 7 helping principles for those involved in social justice: 1. Family: Create and establish family among your people2. Truth: bring truth back through faith the bible3. Purpose: it is purpose/vision which keeps us from getting addicted to ourselves4. Courage: because fear paralyzes. He says that courage is to live out your convictions in the... Read more

Veli-Matti karkkainen

Last updated on: September 20, 2008 at 12:27 pm By Tim Suttle

I’m reading a great text on Ecclesiology right now by Veli-Matti Karkkainen. He divides his study of ecclesiology into sections according to denominations first: – Eastern Orthodox– Roman Catholic– Lutheran– Free Church– Pentecostal/Charismatic– Ecumenical Next he considers the ecclesiologies of some of the leading theologians writing in this specific discipline: – John Zizioulas– Hans Kung– Wolfhart Pannenberg– Jurgen Moltmann– Miroslav Volf– James McClendon Jr.– Lesslie Newbigin The last section is working on some of the more specialized themes such as...

Christian AND an Obama Supporter…

Last updated on: September 15, 2008 at 11:57 am By Tim Suttle

I don’t usually do political stuff on my blog. But I’ve had several people ask my why it is that I’m drawn to Barack Obama. I wanted to give a few sources that might perhaps explain why it is that I support him. The first is a video of a talk in which Obama tries to deal with the role of religion and politics. It’s a very good message and I would challenge all of my conservative Christian brothers and... Read more

Is It Wierd that This Bother’s Me?

Last updated on: September 11, 2008 at 8:48 am By Tim Suttle

I heard about this through a friend. I’m not sure why I care, but for some reason this just bothers me that nobody never asks these sort of questions of our elected officials and those who campaign for them whether they are family or not. If you want to read more about it the story is online at Vanity Fair. I guess I can understand wanting to look nice, even buying a whole outfit and having a pro make it... Read more

Prayer of Self-Dedication

Last updated on: September 10, 2008 at 5:50 am By Tim Suttle

This is the prayer of self-dedication from the Morning Office of the BCP today. Almighty and eternal God, so draw our hearts to you, so guide our minds, so fill our imaginations, so control our wills, that we may be wholly yours, utterly dedicated unto you; and then use us, we pray you, as you will, and always to your glory and the welfare of your people; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Read more

Pannenberg for President.

Last updated on: August 9, 2008 at 1:28 pm By Tim Suttle

Pannenberg rocks my face off! I finally finished Wolfhart Pannenberg’s “The Church” today. The last chapter was worth the wait. It’s easily the best of the book. Here are some of the notes I took from it: “There is a theologically superficial enthusiasm that makes involvement in social ethics a substitute for the substance of an uncertain faith. Such a position creates mistrust and hampers and delays progress toward Christian unity.” 151 “the most important contribution that Christians can make... Read more

Pannenberg on the Church

Last updated on: July 19, 2008 at 1:53 pm By Tim Suttle

I’m back to reading Pannenberg on the church. He’s talking about the role of eschatology in the church in ch. 4. What’s interesting is that this stuff could have come out of a typical mission church handbook published over the past 6 months. Here are a few quotes that stood out to me today: Apostolicity: is based in the eschatological motif of the early church. Pannenberg considers eschatology here to mean, “a consciousness of living in the presence of ultimate... Read more

Finally Zizioulas

Last updated on: July 16, 2008 at 8:26 am By Tim Suttle

I finally finished reading Being as Communion by John Zizioulas yesterday. It has taken me forever because I’ve been attempting a close reading & I kept getting distracted. It’s a pretty amazing book; one which is often referred to as one of the most important Christian theology books of the last half century. I read something in Zizioulas yesterday which blew me away. He describes what he calls the “double movement” of the church. The baptismal movement:“which renders the church... Read more
