Tuesdays with Walter Part 06 – The Language of Leadership is Theological

Last updated on: October 30, 2012 at 9:12 am By Tim Suttle

I’m in the midst of a long term experiment with the staff at Redemption Church where I pastor. Over the past few decades it has become popular for the typical church staff to study leadership books. Evangelical pastors in our society are expected not only to be theologians, preachers, and pastors, but they are expected to be leaders. The paradigm for the pastor-as-leader has undergone a significant change over the past decade as business paradigms have come front and center.... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: October 29, 2012 at 3:34 pm By Tim Suttle

I confess that I’m praying this morning that things won’t get too bad for the precious folks living on the East Coast. I pray that they will keep faith with one another and make it through together. I confess that I have been acutely aware lately of how vulnerable we are as human beings. We are so fragile. I confess that I am hurting today for those that I love who are in pain, and whose ship has sailed too... Read more

Eugene Peterson: The Difference Between Reading the Bible and Studying the Bible

Last updated on: October 27, 2012 at 1:17 pm By Tim Suttle

Peterson is a genius. In this short clip he leans on the difference between reading the bible to glean information that we can use to control ourselves and others, and entering into the bible in order to be called into question and changes. These are two very different approaches to the scripture, and lead to two very different kinds of obedience. It has taken me a decade to try and learn how to do the latter one, and I still...

What’s Going On With Billy Graham (And Franklin)?

Last updated on: October 25, 2012 at 1:51 pm By Tim Suttle

I’ve read a lot about the political involvement of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Over the years Graham has played only a minor role in politics. He has even expressed remorse about the times he became overly involved (for instance supporting Richard Nixon before he went to jail). Graham was sort of a church elder who was available to speak to power, no matter the ideology of the power-broker. His independence gave his words power, and his power words that... Read more

Who Won the 3rd Debate & My Election Predictions at 2 Weeks Out

Last updated on: October 23, 2012 at 9:04 am By Tim Suttle

In the final presidential debate both candidates performed well and made their best case. Mr. Romney accused the president of weak leadership. President Obama painted Romney as a flip-flopper whose opinions are all over the map. The early poll from CBS said Obama: 53%, Romney 23%, a margin of victory which was slightly larger than the first debate win for Romney (46% to 22%). Other polls suggest a similar margin. A Google poll had it at 45/35 to Obama. A... Read more

Last updated on: October 22, 2012 at 8:58 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that I have not watched 24 hour cable news in over a month and I don’t miss it at all. I confess that nearly all of my news and information has come from print media. I have been getting the NYTimes at home for the past couple of months and really enjoy it. The one exception is that I will read articles from CNN. I try to avoid anything generated by Fox News or MSNBC, even if it... Read more

Is Obama the Wrong Kind of Christian?

Last updated on: October 22, 2012 at 7:55 am By Tim Suttle

I am always shocked by the glee with which many evangelical Christians will pass judgment upon, and dismiss the faith of other professing Christians. I guess I shouldn’t be. Finding ways to be dismissive of those who come from a different Christian tradition, or have experienced a different kind of obedience to the gospel is all too common. But it still shocks me – disappoints me as well. This has been the practice of many evangelicals who disagree with the... Read more

Why Do We Think It’s Okay to Ignore the Sabbath?

Last updated on: October 21, 2012 at 6:36 am By Tim Suttle

Our culture is nothing if not over-busy and stressed-out. You don’t have to look very hard to discover that our society’s relationship to time is a complete mess. The most rudimentary teaching from the scriptures on how human beings should relate to time is called the Sabbath. Walter Brueggemann teaches that Sabbath isn’t the cessation of work, so much as it is the cessation of restlessness. For one day a week we stop our ceaseless working, generating, producing, consuming, worrying,... Read more
