Can We Lose Our Ability to Recognize Beauty? What Happens if we Do?

Last updated on: April 14, 2012 at 7:36 am By Tim Suttle

I’m slogging through Hans Urs Von Balthasar’s The Glory of the Lord, Vol. I., Seeing the Form – it’s a Theological Aesthetics (not a theology of aesthetics… Von would want that to be clear – I like call him Von as if we are old friends, it helps me to not become frustrated). Let’s not kid ourselves, Von Balthasar has some serious game and reading his work is a bitch. I’m reasonably well read in theology, but I don’t have... Read more

The Most Popular Mayor in America

Last updated on: April 13, 2012 at 10:32 am By Tim Suttle

This is a pretty amazing story. Newark Mayor Cory Booker literally ran into a burning house last night & rescued a woman who would have certainly died otherwise. He said in the midst of the feeling of being trapped by the fire, he was thinking he might be a goner. He described it as a “come to Jesus moment.” Seeing only fire in front of him and black behind him, he got “very religious.” A few quotes from his interview:... Read more

Ed Young’s Newest Stunt Ignites a Police Investigation

Last updated on: April 12, 2012 at 10:18 am By Tim Suttle

Chanel 8 in Dallas is reporting that Ed Young is now under investigation by Grapevine Police to see if his church violated any animal safety laws in their inclusion of a live Lion in last Sunday’s worship service. The investigation is silly & will probably not result in any charges. As silly as it is, it doesn’t even come close to being as silly as the constant parade of stunts which Young has made his signature. In the past Young... Read more

Stanley Fish on the Universal Rejection of Scientific Privilege

Last updated on: April 12, 2012 at 7:36 am By Tim Suttle

The New York Times published a 2 part story by Stanley Fish which deals with how we deal with evidence in Science and Religion. It’s well done & I recommend that you take 15 minutes and read the whole thing. Part 1 is here, Part 2 is here. Here’s a quick summary for those who don’t have the time to read, but want the concepts. Fish is articulating the ways in which scientists fall prey to their own logic, dealing... Read more

Sentimentality

Last updated on: April 10, 2012 at 8:59 am By Tim Suttle

Sentimentality (my definition): softening the blows of reality by telling ourselves half-truths and untruths which temporarily assuage the nagging feeling that we are all living in a tragedy. Sentimentality is what a sleazy guy says to a lonely girl; it comes off cheesy, but just sweet enough to distract her from the fact that he’s only trying to sleep with her. Sentimentality is when parents continue calling tantrums and aggression “cute” or “a phase” long into the pre-teen years instead... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional – An Easter Hangover

Last updated on: April 9, 2012 at 7:55 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that Easter may be my favorite day of the year. I love to tell the story… it never gets old. I confess that I love the culture hasn’t found a way to steal Easter yet. I confess that the day after Easter is one of the lowest days of the year for me for two reasons: First, Christmas is more like a feast week. Christmas Eve turns into Xmas Day & rolls on to the New Year w/little... Read more

He is Risen Indeed: Frederick Buechner on the Resurrection

Last updated on: April 8, 2012 at 6:00 am By Tim Suttle

Frederick Buechner is one of my favorite writers. On the really big days of the Christian Calendar I look to him to speak to me, as I try to speak to others. This is a great interview he did for Religion and Ethics Newsweekly on PBS. Here are a few great pull quotes. I recommend reading the whole article. On the Resurrection: “I have no idea what happened except, as I say, what really matters is not so much what... Read more

Redemption Church Logo – Designed by Matt Nagel

Last updated on: April 7, 2012 at 8:01 am By Tim Suttle

My friend Matt Nagel died last week & left a great number of people so very sad, myself included. I was reminded with his passing that Matt did all of the branding work for the church where I pastor. Matt worked hard to come up with an aesthetically pleasing logo we could embrace for years to come; one that would say something about who we are as a church. This is what he came up with. We love it and... Read more

3 Free Francis Chan Books

Last updated on: April 6, 2012 at 9:44 am By Tim Suttle

My friend Scott Savage just let me know you can download three Francis Chan books for Kindle free of charge from Amazon. I’ve never read Francis Chan, but at some point I know I will need to. These are pretty well selling books, big titles, & free is always a good price. If you do not own a Kindle, you can download a free kindle application for your computer (that’s how I do it, I don’t own a kindle),... Read more
