Thinking More About Bonhoeffer

Last updated on: May 16, 2013 at 9:58 am By Tim Suttle

I’m up to my ears in a new book that I’m writing for Zondervan. It’s going to be called Shrink & I’m trying to make the case for faithfulness and virtue (over and against success & results), as the central leadership pursuits of those involved in ministry of any kind. As part of my writing I’m using some of Bonhoeffer’s work. One of the things he was sold on was the idea that we should not be in pursuit of principles that... Read more

Is Mark Driscoll This Generation’s Pat Robertson?

Last updated on: May 15, 2013 at 7:57 am By Tim Suttle

I’ve been pretty tough on Mark Driscoll in the past. I don’t like being that way about any other pastor. But I think he represents something truly dangerous to the gospel. I grew up with a lot of folks very much like him among the Southern Baptist circles in which I was reared – heavy bravado, always right, constantly leading through size and position. It’s a tired script. I know what it means to be a man, and I don’t... Read more

Eugene Peterson’s “Unbusy” Pastor – Evangelicalism Needs More of These

Last updated on: May 14, 2013 at 9:18 am By Tim Suttle

I’ve been reading Eugene Peterson’s The Contemplative Pastor again. I’m not sure how many times I’ve read this book. Sometimes I think I should always be reading it for at least a few minutes a day. Today I was struck by this line: “I am busy because I am vain. I want to appear important. Significant. What better way than to be busy? The incredible hours, the crowded schedule, and the heavy demands on my time are proof to myself... Read more

Love Thy Stranger As Thyself: Interesting Op-Ed from the NYTimes on Evangelicals and Immigration

Last updated on: May 13, 2013 at 12:50 pm By Tim Suttle

There’s a pretty interesting op-ed in the New York Times by Molly Worthen from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. She’s writing on three subjects I care about: immigration, evangelicalism, and the Social Gospel of Walter Rauschenbusch. I think she says some interesting things. Here’s an excerpt: It’s true that Latino Americans tend to be religious (according to Gallup, 54 percent are Catholic and 28 percent are Protestant). However, even those at the forefront of collaboration with white evangelicals stress... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: May 13, 2013 at 9:21 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that I am not super excited to write a confession this morning. I confess that every confession I can think of to write down just sounds whiny – so I’ve been using delete a lot for the last 30 minutes trying for something interesting to say. It’s not really working so I’m going to keep it short today. I confess that I am an outstanding maker of brownie sundaes. The key is you have to heat the brownie... Read more

Christianity Versus Islam: Here’s One Way to Settle Things…

Last updated on: May 10, 2013 at 8:00 am By Tim Suttle

I’ve been thinking lately about Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s speech at the Fano ecumenical church conference and his insistence that ecumenism could help stave off the war he saw coming. As it turns out, Bonhoeffer was right about the war. Even if the ecumenical efforts of the Christians could could not keep a predominantly Christian Western Europe from waging all-out war on each other for a second time in a half century, I think Bonhoeffer was right about ecumenism as well. Their... Read more

New Book Rips U2’s Bono as a Lap-dog for Neo-liberals

Last updated on: May 9, 2013 at 8:33 am By Tim Suttle

Legendary rock writer Dave Marsh wrote a column for Counterpunch yesterday reviewing the book The Frontman: Bono (In the Name of Power) by writer Harry Browne. It wasn’t very nice. Dave Marsh is a grumpy rock and roll journalist who was the editor of Creem magazine and has written for Rolling Stone and The Village Voice and he helped create the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and currently sits on the board. He’s known for his cynically-jaded writing style... Read more

Dallas Willard Dies at Age 77

Last updated on: May 8, 2013 at 1:31 pm By Tim Suttle

I only found out this morning that Willard was sick. Have had a heavy heart all day thinking about what a tremendous human being he is, and what a profound impact he’s had upon my life. Just clicked on my news feed to see that Christianity Today is reporting that Dallas Willard has died today. I’m totally heartbroken. Christianity Today posted a profile they did on Dallas just a few years back. It’s worth reading. Here’s an excerpt from an... Read more

Dallas Willard Diagnosed With Stage 4 Cancer

Last updated on: May 8, 2013 at 12:54 pm By Tim Suttle

Christianity Today is reporting that Dallas Willard has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. This is bad news. I hope that you’ll take a moment to pray for him today. **Update here: Dallas Willard dies at age 77. I owe Dallas Willard a tremendous debt. Willard was the first teacher who taught me about the gospel of sin management. He was the first one to show me the gaping hole in my gospel, and shared with me the gospel of... Read more
