Does the Father “will” the death of the Son?

Last updated on: January 12, 2008 at 12:57 pm By Tim Suttle

Does the Father will the death of the Son? It’s a common question in the realm of atonement discussion. I’m doing a close reading of Fowl’s New Horizon’s Commentary on Philippians so that I can write a critical response. His response to this question is so good that I wanted to post it here. The use of Anselm’s own words in support of his point of view is genius, considering that Anselm’s Substitutionary atonement view has so come to dominate... Read more

Bonhoeffer & the Lectionary

Last updated on: January 9, 2008 at 7:59 pm By Tim Suttle

I have long believed that a church should read as much scripture as possible out loud, together, during worship. I know this in my mind and heart to be right. However, as a worship leader and pastor I’ve been woefully deficient in bringing this conviction to fruition in our congregation. I first encountered the practice of the communal reading of scripture from my wife. While we were dating we would often attend Catholic Church together. As a devout evangelical, I... Read more

Life Together

Last updated on: January 2, 2008 at 9:14 pm By Tim Suttle

Dietrich Bonhoeffer I’m reading “Life Together” for the very first time. I’ve actually never read any Bonhoeffer before. I’m just going to list interesting quotes and comment on them as I read this slowly. One of the ideas which Bonhoeffer develops early on here is that Christian to not relate to each other directly, but only through Christ. Any relationship we have which is direct and not mediated through Christ will be a purely “psychic,” which he defines as human,... Read more

Fall From Grace – Movie

Last updated on: November 28, 2007 at 2:49 pm By Tim Suttle

If you have SHOWTIME check out the upcoming documentary “Fall from Grace.” It’s a great film about Fred Phelps. I had the great fortune to produce a track for the film earlier this year. Satellite Soul played the music and our good friend and sometimes band-mate Janette Crawford sang the track – J. Hall mixed – it was really fun. Ryan Jones is a creative and insightful filmaker – it’s just a really good film. Read more

McDonald’s chocolate chip cookies are like crack. I cannot stop eating these stupid things. Our church office is under construction right now and so I’ve been without an office since the end of July. That’s three and a half months now that I’ve been sponging internet off places like Panera or McDonalds. For awhile Panera was winning out until they protected their network and made it impossible for me to send email from my Outlook. Now I’m stuck with McDonalds.... Read more

................a quick review of a really great book…..Simply Christianby N.T. Wright.Until I began to read and listen to the work of N.T. Wright, the phrase “putting the world to rights” wasn’t in my vocabulary. Today, I think it is the best short description of what I believe the Kingdom of God is all about. In his book Simply Christian, Wright expands on what he believes is the “echo of a voice (p.3) which we hear in our imaginations and our... Read more

Who the #$&% is Jackson Pollack?

Last updated on: October 31, 2007 at 6:47 am By Tim Suttle

............ Jackson Pollack is one of my favorite artists. I don’t know why but respond very emotionally to most abstract expressionism. De Kooning is another favorite. There is a De Kooning here in town at the Kemper Museum that I like to go see. There is also a Pollock at the Nelson in the new wing. It’s nice, but not one of his more important works. I love the deconstruction of forms and the large scale…I just think it’s beautiful.... Read more
