McBudget – What Do You Think?

Last updated on: July 30, 2013 at 10:05 am By Tim Suttle

Nobody listens to the low wage workers of the world… really… nobody. Lately their tactic has been to organize one day strikes to draw attention to their struggle. In recent weeks, employees having been staging one day walk-outs to make their point. What’s their point? Their point is that wages for CEOs in America rose over 16% last year to an average of $15 million/yr. Low wage workers have seen their wages flat line – no raise. Interestingly McDonald’s teamed...

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: July 29, 2013 at 10:57 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that I’ve been on a bit of a digital fast for the past two weeks. My family and I went camping and hiking around Colorado for a week and them came home to just lay low and take it easy. It’s been a great two weeks and I’m feeling much more energized as I get to work this morning. Still, I have to confess that I wish I had another week off! I confess that Colorado has to...

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: July 15, 2013 at 9:52 pm By Tim Suttle

I confess that I’m on vacation for the next few weeks. I think I really need a little time off, so I might be a little neglectful of the blog. I confess that my rule of life says that I will spend somewhere around 22 days a year at Conception Abbey on retreat. I get 6 days at the abbey each year with the Associated Ministerial Order retreats. I’m supposed to take four study leave retreats, each around 3 days.... Read more

Larry Crabb’s Fully Alive: A Relational View of Gender

Last updated on: July 15, 2013 at 9:51 pm By Tim Suttle

I just finished reading through Larry Crabb’s new book, Fully Alive. I’ve never read anything Crabb has written before, but considering his usual audience and connection to Focus on the Family, I think it was a bit courageous of Crabb to take on this project. In Fully Alive Crabb is writing to try and explore the reason why God made genders in the first place. Why was gender important for his image bearing creatures? Crabb’s answer is that the relational God... Read more

Already Not Yet Kingdom Diagram – Inaugurated Eschatology Visual Aid

Last updated on: July 14, 2013 at 11:22 am By Tim Suttle

We are preaching through Ephesians at church right now. If you attempt this, it’s important to get Paul’s eschatology in front of you while you are reading and working with the text. This is a version of a diagram that I’ve seen multiple places. Michael Gorman’s short book Reading Paul has one – good book by the way. The Timothy Gombis book The Drama of Ephesians has one as well. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen one in some piece of... Read more

Ten Things I Love About Walter Brueggemann

Last updated on: July 11, 2013 at 10:55 am By Tim Suttle

“One of the misfortunes in the long history of the church is that we have mistakenly separated love of God from love of neighbor, and – always – they are held together in prophetic poetry.” – Walter Brueggemann I ran across this video a few days ago. It’s this short little promo for The Justice Conference in 2011. You can read about the work they continue to do here. It started me thinking about how much I have been impacted by... Read more

Best Wedding Toast Ever – A Little Friday Funny

Last updated on: July 5, 2013 at 7:00 am By Tim Suttle

Wedding toasts are tough. Some people aim really high and then crash and burn – embarrassing themselves and everyone watching. Some people ramble on forever, telling inane stories and laughing about inside jokes until you inwardly beg them to just sit down. Some people get so choked up – more from the fear of public speaking than the moment itself – they can hardly get through it… awkward. And then there are the millions of normal heartfelt toasts that are... Read more

Celebrating In[ter]dependence Day

Last updated on: July 4, 2013 at 9:50 pm By Tim Suttle

Independence Day is always a bit of a strange holiday for me. In fairness, nearly every holiday is strange for me. Christmas and Easter are big work days, others that fall in the middle of the week just end up being like another work day. (I’m doing sermon prep today, can you tell?) Independence Day is a bit different, though, because I have a complicated relationship with my country. I love being an American. Let’s not kid ourselves… by virtue... Read more

It’s Only Ugly Because It’s New and You Don’t Like It

Last updated on: July 3, 2013 at 2:14 pm By Tim Suttle

It’s only ugly because it’s new and you don’t like it… pretty brilliant statement that I need to at least attempt to hear. It’s only ugly because it’s new and you don’t like it. How many of my current opinions, dispositions, or judgments fall under that rubric: same = good, change = bad? And, isn’t that always what the powerful tell themselves in order to create the rationale for why they must continue to run the world? Isn’t that also... Read more
