John Piper: “God has given Christianity a masculine feel…”

Last updated on: February 3, 2012 at 1:43 pm By Tim Suttle

A couple quick pull quotes from John Piper’s statement on masculinity and the Christian faith: “…the fullest flourishing of women and men takes place in churches and families where Christianity has this God-ordained, masculine feel,” “Theology and church and mission are marked by overarching godly male leadership in the spirit of Christ, with an ethos of tender-hearted strength, and contrite courage, and risk-taking decisiveness, and readiness to sacrifice for the sake of leading, protecting, and providing for the community—all of...

2012 National Prayer Breakfast

Last updated on: February 3, 2012 at 7:17 am By Tim Suttle

It’s time for my – more or less – yearly take on the National Prayer Breakfast. This year my take is simple. President Obama made a short speech at the event. Here are a few pull quotes for the quick gist. At the bottom is a video of the speech. I try to watch these every year – pretty interesting stuff. “At a time when it’s easy to lose ourselves in the rush and clamor of our own lives, or... Read more

“What if there’s no tomorrow? There wasn’t one today.”

Last updated on: February 2, 2012 at 5:59 am By Tim Suttle

It’s Groundhog Day – a completely irrelevant holiday only made noteworthy because Bill Murray is the king of rock and roll. If you want to blow off your adult responsibilities, you can actually watch the entire movie online for free at youtube. Here’s the link. This is one of my all-time favorite movies. It perfectly demonstrates what it means to live a life of purposeful discipleship and growth in wisdom and purpose. Here’s one of my favorite scenes. “I’m a... Read more

Theology Matters

Last updated on: February 1, 2012 at 9:00 am By Tim Suttle

I stumbled across this interesting video the other day. It’s really well done & as a theology nerd, I enjoyed it. It’s a promotional tool for a book called Dug Down Deep by Joshua Harris. I have never read the book and so cannot recommend it. However I can quibble with one aspect of what the video is promoting. The final line of the video says, “The question is whether what we know about God is true.” Is that the... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: January 30, 2012 at 8:00 pm By Tim Suttle

I confess that I am on retreat at Conception Abbey until Wednesday. I confess that I have tried to post my confession all day I have not been able to. Blogger is blocked on the computers here, and my goofy EVO wasn’t allowing me to type in the field for a blog entry. I couldn’t get the keyboard to pop up… so frustrating! I finally downloaded the blogger app. Don’t know why didn’t I think of that work around sooner.... Read more

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Gay Pride Parade…

Last updated on: January 28, 2012 at 11:31 am By Tim Suttle

So – at a Chicago gay pride parade a group of Christians showed up… what do you think they were there for? This is typically the point at which we learn that Fred Phelps and his crazy family were there with their “God hates fags” signage.. Thankfully that’s not what happened. Look at this: http://imgur.com/bVD9p What do you think? I told my wife, “I love the sentiment, but can we just wear pants?” (you have to see the picture) She said,... Read more

Lampooning the Modern Worship Service

Last updated on: January 27, 2012 at 8:57 am By Tim Suttle

This is one of my all time favorite clips. I know it’s old, but I ran into today by accident & couldn’t stop laughing. The clip is produced like a movie trailer – explaining everything which happens in nearly every contemporary church in Americaeach weekend – eerily on target. I’m pretty sure NorthPoint made the video. Having a laugh at our own expense is good! I cannot even begin to remember how many worship services like this I’ve been responsible... Read more

Phineas & Ferb Meet Epiphany

Last updated on: January 26, 2012 at 5:42 am By Tim Suttle

This Sunday is the fourth Sunday in Epiphany. In the church calendar, Epiphany means, “to show, to reveal, to make known,” and so during this season we tell these great stories from the life of Jesus, about how God began to reveal who Jesus really was and what he was trying to do. We are following the Revised Common Lectionary (actually we are following textweek.com which is an incredible resource for everyone from Sunday School teachers, to CM directors, to... Read more

State of the Union Brings Inequality into Focus

Last updated on: January 25, 2012 at 5:35 am By Tim Suttle

One of the major themes of President Obama’s State of the Union Address last night was the inequality between the rich and the poor. It made the main headline in today’s Washington Post. The president noted that something is wrong when Warren Buffett pays fewer taxes than his secretary. If you want to read a good article on the inequality and the issue, here’s a NY Times editorial by Paul Krugman. I’m glad the president saw fit to bring inequality... Read more

Mark Driscoll: Talking Church Discipline Mars Hill Style

Last updated on: January 24, 2012 at 12:58 pm By Tim Suttle

Matthew Paul Turner is a friend of mine from way back in the Satellite Soul days. He used to run one of the really cool coffeehouse venues, Jammin Java, in Maryland. Later he was the editor of CCM Magazine. He’s an author & humorist now (satirist maybe? – just think John Stewart or Colbert for evangelicals), anyway he writes books and is stinking hilarious. Matthew has been telling a story (a not so funny one), on is blog the past... Read more
