MacArthur’s Christomonism

Last updated on: July 15, 2008 at 8:10 am By Tim Suttle

One thing I’m pretty sure of is that if God exists as Trinity and has created humans in God’s image, then most of our monisms and dualisms are distortions of the way the world really is. At dictionary.com monism is defined… Monism: the reduction of all processes, structures, concepts, etc., to a single governing principle; the theoretical explanation of everything in terms of one principle. I’ve found a new word which seems to get at some of what my angst... Read more

MacArthur on the Gospel

Last updated on: July 12, 2008 at 11:41 am By Tim Suttle

It’s interesting to hear MacArthur attack the emerging church and say that the scope of the gospel of Christ is utterly limited to propitiating God & eliminating the guilt of sin and that this “is the only reason he came. He didn’t come to fix life here. He didn’t come to eliminate poverty. He didn’t come to eliminate slavery…he came to save people from eternal hell.” It really makes me wonder how he gets around the sermon on the mount... Read more

24 hours at the abbey

Last updated on: July 10, 2008 at 7:11 am By Tim Suttle

Had a good time at conception abbey this week, even if it was only a 24 hour booster. Here is my wisdom from Fr. Adam. He gave me a quote which he said was from Pope John the XXIII, but the internet has it from John Paul II – I’d trust Fr. Adam on this one. Anyway, the quote is: “See everything. Ignore a lot. Improve a little.” I’ll be chewing on that one. As part of my rule of... Read more

Rauschenbusch Rules

Last updated on: July 1, 2008 at 4:53 pm By Tim Suttle

I ran across one of my all-time favorite Walter Rauschenbusch quotes yesterday… Here is that quote with a few other observations from his book, “A Theology for the Social Gospel.” “Theology needs periodical rejuvenation. Its greatest danger is not mutilation but senility. It is strong and vital when it expresses in large reasonings what youthful religion feels and thinks. When people have to be indoctrinated laboriously in order to understand theology at all, it becomes a dead burden. The dogmas... Read more

How to Write for the Web

Last updated on: July 1, 2008 at 6:23 am By Tim Suttle

I love Slate online. There was a funny short article by the editor that noted a bit called “How to Write for the Web” by a guy named Caleb Crain. “A text on the internet rarely takes for granted your decision to read it or to continue reading it. There is often, instead, a jazzy, hectoring tone. At home my boyfriend and I use a certain physical gesture as shorthand to describe it. To make it, extend your index fingers... Read more

Pannenberg on the Church

Last updated on: June 26, 2008 at 9:38 am By Tim Suttle

I put Zizioulas down for the week. I’m trying to get through Pannenberg’s book on the church this week. Here are my notes from chapter one: CHAPTER 1 – CHURCHLESS CHRISTIANS He calls people who supposedly subscribe to Christianity without Christian church involvement “churchless Christians.” As churches grew more sectarian, and denominationalized. Each denomination began to vie for political power. As they did, no one sect could claim universality and thus religion became a privatized affair. 11 The reformation claimed... Read more

The catholicity of Being

Last updated on: June 20, 2008 at 12:44 pm By Tim Suttle

I’m up to my elbows in Metropolitan John… Zizioulas is working with the idea that sin is actually a rupture between being and communion, or what he calls the “individualization of our being.” The fall “results from the claim of created man to be the ultimate point of reference in existence (to be God).” p.102 He has already built his case that being is communion (I’ll not rehearse it here fully, but only in part), and is saying that what...

Praying Drunk

Last updated on: June 18, 2008 at 7:22 am By Tim Suttle

My friend Isaac had me read a poem the other day, a sentence which feels wierd to write, but it happened. The poet’s name is Andrew Hudgins and he’s a big deal in the world of poetry and literature. I don’t know about all of that, but after reading this poem I’m seriously thinking about pre-ordering his promised book, Shut Up, You’re Fine! Troubling Poems for Troubled Children because of the title alone. That would be the second poetry book... Read more

Roxburgh & Franke Session Four

Last updated on: June 17, 2008 at 12:42 pm By Tim Suttle

NOTES:Roxburgh presented for most of this session. He was saying that instead of asking the practical questions (which is all that most missional church writers seem to do these days), think about what happens if you ask the God questions first. We should first explore the God who is Trinity, relationality and difference. He says that God always comes to us in the “space between,” in the space of difference. There are all of these metaphors he points to in... Read more
