Last updated on: June 24, 2014 at 8:34 am By Tim Suttle

Caught this great list from Paul Raushenbush today, writing to his 25 year-old self on the occasion of his 50th birthday. There are some powerful words of advice in this list. I picked out my top five (plus one) and listed them below. There are so many here that I wish I would heed even now at age 44. I hope you’ll take a moment & read through these. Could be something among them that will be meaningful to you... Read more

Matthew 28: Go and Make Disciples

Last updated on: June 18, 2014 at 7:43 am By Tim Suttle

This is my sermon from last week at Redemption Church. If you are a pastor feel free to copy and steal anything that might help you as you prepare to lead your own congregation in worship. I have to acknowledge up front that I got the knowing/doing v. being/relating rubric from my friend Tim Keel. 2014.06.15 – Trinity Sunday Matthew 28:19-20 – Make Disciples VIDEO: Steve martin Evangelism How many of you at some point went to a service, conference,...

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: June 16, 2014 at 8:56 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that I left work early last Wednesday to go work in my yard. I never do this, well hardly ever. I was trying to prepare for a sermon, but nothing was clicking. So I figured I’d head out, use the church pickup truck to go get a load of mulch and dirt for my house, and then mow my lawn. If I couldn’t get on track studying & reading, maybe some physical labor would help. Back when our... Read more

Justice is Not Important For It’s Own Sake: Abraham Joshua Heschel on Social Justice

Last updated on: June 12, 2014 at 10:28 am By Tim Suttle

“He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?” – Micah 6:8 Micah really hit it out of the park with that single sentence… pure poetry. “He has told you, O Mortal, what is good,” and it has to do with justice, mercy, and humility. Aesthetically, it’s beautifully written. Plus it has the added benefit of offering... Read more

Pentecost Year A, Acts 2:1-2 – The Breath of God

Last updated on: June 11, 2014 at 8:28 am By Tim Suttle

2014.06.08 Pentecost Year A Acts 2:1-2 Today is a big day in terms of church Calendar; the culmination of many months of telling Story of God. We’ve walked thru Advent, waiting for God to show up, longing, crying out in the darkness. We’ve walked through Christmas—incarnation—and the life, teaching, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. Today we celebrate a new era in the life of people of God: the birth of the Church, & the good news of the power... Read more

Frederick Buechner, Richard Curtis, and the Grace of Time: A Rainy Day Repost

Last updated on: June 10, 2014 at 8:51 am By Tim Suttle

“There is no event so commonplace but that God is present within it, always hiddenly, always leaving you room to recognize him or not recognize him, but all the more fascinatingly because of that, all the more compellingly and hauntingly… Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it,... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: June 9, 2014 at 8:38 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that the blurbs are all in, and the foreword came through for Shrink last week, which means that everything I’m responsible to help with in terms of content for the book is crossed off the list. I have been overjoyed at the response from the early readers. Scot McKnight wrote the foreword, and blurbs have come in from Stanley Hauerwas, Walter Brueggemann, David Fitch, Christopher Smith, and fellow Patheos blogger Erin Wathen. I confess that I always chuckle... Read more

When I’m in Pain, This is What I Listen to Now

Last updated on: June 9, 2014 at 6:04 pm By Tim Suttle

Music has always been a pretty big part of my life. When I was a little boy my dad was a football coach. During August two-a-days, while he was drilling his players late into the dusk of the evening my mom would put us four kids around the piano and teach us a song to perform for my dad when he got home. It was weird. What’s even weirder is that we didn’t even pretend to not enjoy it. We... Read more

What Was Your Worst Summer Job Ever?: Jimmy Fallon’s Hashtags

Last updated on: June 6, 2014 at 6:26 am By Tim Suttle

I’ve had a lot of bad summer jobs. I drove a school bus for summer school. These kids were not happy. I drove a vending machine route–not glamorous. I did, however, quickly get over the embarrassment of buying cheeseburgers with dimes. Worst summer job had to be working ball diamond maintenance, dragging and chalking fields mowing and trimming weeds while it was 110 degrees in the shade. Start time 6am. Ruined my view of morning for at least two decades.... Read more

Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, Part II

Last updated on: June 5, 2014 at 7:43 am By Tim Suttle

I’m reading Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard, and continuing to reflect upon the nature of prayer and the presence of God. If you dive into this work, you have to know Dillard spends an inordinate amount of the book reflecting on the minutiae of the ordinary–the intricate details of nature of which she is an astute student. It’s a contemplative thing to read her work, so you kinda have to be in the mood. Nevertheless, it did win... Read more
