How Has Pop Music Really Gotten This Stupid? Yes. The Answer is Yes: A Little Friday Funny

Last updated on: May 16, 2014 at 6:33 am By Tim Suttle

You’ll have to forgive me, but I’m just a little bit pissed off. I think I’ve made my thoughts about contemporary pop music pretty clear–you can read a full post on the subject here. It’s not a lack of ability. The pool of talent is rich and diverse: great musicians, singers, songwriters, producers, dancers, performers–these folks are incredibly gifted. The problem is they have nothing to say. Even worse, they seem to be engaged in some sort of contest to see... Read more

We are the New Temple

Last updated on: May 14, 2014 at 7:28 am By Tim Suttle

This is the message from last week at my church. We took a quick break from the lectionary to hook up with our mother church, Heartland Community Church, and do a two part series called “Temple Jenga.” If you are a pastor feel free to copy and steal everything. 2014.05.11 – Temple Jenga Mark 13 About 1000 yrs ago a group of Vikings led by Erik the Red set sail from the coast of Norway for the vast Arctic landmass...

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: May 12, 2014 at 7:52 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that I think the Red Headed Woodpeckers that pecked through our chimney and made a nest in the wall have apparently moved on. I’ve not seen the pair around lately, so it’s probably time to start patching over their handiwork. I can do the woodwork. The difficult part is the ladder, because I’m deathly afraid of heights. Technically, I’m not afraid of heights I’m afraid of falling. And not so much falling as hitting the ground at a... Read more

ChristianTingle.com Part 2 – Saving Ourselves for Post-Marriage

Last updated on: May 9, 2014 at 6:52 am By Tim Suttle

“Couldn’t find any precedent for that in the Bible, but we’re gonna go with it.” Christians… we are such a weird people. Thankfully we have folks like Tripp & Tyler who continue to poke at Christian sub-culture & teach us how to laugh at ourselves (and hopefully change & grow). Happy Friday everyone. Read more

How Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Cosmos Completely Bungles the Philosophy of Religion & Science

Last updated on: May 9, 2014 at 6:20 am By Tim Suttle

I’m reading Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States at the moment, so I’m a a bit sensitized to what is said by the “experts.” But even if I wasn’t, Neil deGrasse Tyson would still bother me. I was excited about the new Cosmos broadcast, optimistically setting our DVR to tape every episode. But after the first one, I hit cancel, mostly because of the ridiculous scientific positivism of Tyson, and the historical/philosophical butchery of the story of Giordano Bruno... Read more

Easter 4A – John 10:1-10 – The Good Shepherd

Last updated on: May 7, 2014 at 7:22 am By Tim Suttle

I’m off the lectionary path for a quick 2 week series on the Temple. So, I wanted to post this sermon from Easter 4A that I did three years ago when were last in Year A. If you are a pastor please feel free to copy and steal everything below. Easter 4A – John 10:1-18 The Good Shepherd I love first lines of books.

Poverty, Inequality are Symptoms of a Fundamental Problem: We Want to Live Without Limits

Last updated on: May 6, 2014 at 9:03 am By Tim Suttle

Do a Google Image search for the phrase “No Limits” and see how many of the hits are from churches promoting a sermon series by that title. That’ll tell you how far off the church is on one of the most important problems plaguing our contemporary culture. It seems as though we’ve reached a tipping point in American society, and most people are at least somewhat aware/accepting of the reality that much of the world’s poverty is systemic. Most of...

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: May 5, 2014 at 12:34 pm By Tim Suttle

I confess that I just finished season one of The Vikings, and started in on the second season last night. I confess that the Season 2 premier was a bit disappointing. They jumped so far ahead in the story that I felt a little bit lost, like I had missed a few episodes or they jumped over a big part of the story. They sure didn’t waste any time introducing the obstacles for the season, I’m just not sure I... Read more

ChristianTingle.com: This is Wrong (and Hilarious) on So Many Levels

Last updated on: May 2, 2014 at 6:07 am By Tim Suttle

Every subculture is strange, but evangelical subculture is stranger. There are these highly defended idiosyncratic cultural markers influenced by a small number of Christian entertainers, megachurch pastors, authors, and celebrities. It’s a language. And when somebody who really understands the subculture and speak the language starts to lampoon it, I can never resist. So meet ChristianTingle.com – where you can’t hold hands until you are married… a little Friday Funny. Happy Friday everyone. Read more

Hauerwas and… Mohler? Notes From An Unlikely Conversation

Last updated on: May 1, 2014 at 7:39 am By Tim Suttle

This has to be one of the more unlikely conversations I’ve ever heard between to men I have come to view quite differently over the years. I grew up a Southern Baptist in the midst of a sweet little church in Kansas whose practices far exceeded their own theology. So Al Mohler–as the author and protector of much of the theology I came to see as dubious–represents a way of thinking about God that I’ve intentionally tried to grow beyond,... Read more
