The Real Reason the “New Earth” will be Different

Last updated on: July 30, 2018 at 5:52 pm   By Bob Robinson

“The new earth will seem different simply because it will be much more like itself. Redemption restores rather than obliterates creation.” -Mike Wittmer, Becoming Worldly Saints, pp. 164-165 Read more

Quote of the Day: C. S. Lewis on the Ordinary Christian Life

Last updated on: June 29, 2019 at 3:34 pm   By Bob Robinson

What is the Strategy Your Church Has for Reaching the World?

Last updated on: July 3, 2018 at 3:25 pm   By Bob Robinson

“There are two strategies to reach the world. The first one is to recruit the people of God to use some of their leisure time to join the missionary initiatives of church-paid workers. And the second one is to equip the people of God for fruitful mission in all of their life.” -Mark Greene, Executive Director of the London Institute of Contemporary Christianity, at the Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelism (Cape Town, South Africa, 2010) Read more

A Culture-Shaping Business Owner, CEO, or Manager

Last updated on: May 23, 2018 at 11:26 am   By Bob Robinson

What does godly management look like? How might a CEO relate to a migrant worker? In this talk from Ruth 2, Mark Greene reflects on Boaz and what we can learn from this culture-shaping manager. Boaz: The Whole-Life Disciple in Action from LICC on Vimeo. Mark Greene is the Executive Director for The London Institute for Contemporary Christianity (LICC).

How My Work is Like a Mustard Seed

Last updated on: June 29, 2019 at 3:35 pm   By Bob Robinson

In this 3-1/2 minute video, Bob Robinson talks about how Jesus compared the Kingdom of God to a mustard seed and yeast, and how this relates to our everyday work. Luke 13:18-21 18 Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? 19 It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches.” 20 Again he asked, “What... Read more

How Citizens Care for the Least of These

Last updated on: May 1, 2018 at 10:59 am   By Bob Robinson

by Stephanie Summers Chief Executive Officer, The Center for Public Justice, Washington D.C. A US Senator had finished his remarks and was taking questions from a group of college students who were visiting Capitol Hill. I was the next speaker and was rapidly revising my talk to respectfully address some troubling aspects of the Senator’s comments. The Senator stated, “The most important thing for Christians to know is if the church would just do the church’s job, we could get... Read more

My Many Medical Problems Make Me Appreciate Easter All the More

Last updated on: April 1, 2018 at 1:23 pm   By Bob Robinson

I thought I had the stomach flu. But after 3 days of intense abdominal cramps, I called 911 and went to the ER. The next several days were filled with pain and fear as they tried to help my colon heal with antibiotics. My wife Linda rushed home from Haiti where she was on her annual missions trip. The final verdict: My colon had to be removed. Not exactly what I wanted to hear. I’ve spent the past four weeks... Read more

Our Hope is not for a Permanent Vacation in Heaven

Last updated on: April 24, 2018 at 10:50 am   By Bob Robinson

As we enter into Spring, our family has been talking about what we want to do for Summer Vacation. We want to get away from our mundane, day-to-day life and go somewhere else, somewhere where we can experience adventure, relax when we want – somewhere exciting. As I grow older, discussions start about retirement. A time in the future when we can no longer be tied down to the lives we currently have – where we are free to do... Read more

Disintegrated, We Need Re-Integrated

Last updated on: March 20, 2018 at 2:25 pm   By Bob Robinson

My favorite cartoon characters of all time are those from Looney Tunes. Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and Marvin the Martian never fail to crack me up. In one episode, Marvin points his “A-1 Disintegrating Pistol” at Daffy Duck, to which Daffy mockingly says, “Little does he realize that I have on my disintegration-proof vest!” Marvin fires the pistol and everything Daffy Duck is disintegrated, save for the vest, which floats in the air for a second before landing... Read more

Re-sparking our Imaginations about what Happens After We Die

Last updated on: July 27, 2017 at 3:34 pm   By Bob Robinson

Several years back, MercyMe produced a song that was a Christian hit – “I Can Only Imagine,” where they wonder what they will do once they get to Heaven. “Surrounded by Your glory / What will my heart feel Will I dance for you Jesus? / Or in awe of You be still? / Will I stand in your presence? / Or to my knees will I fall? / Will I sing hallelujah? / Will I be able to speak at... Read more
