Has God Taken Labor Day Off?

Last updated on: September 7, 2015 at 11:04 am By Bob Robinson

Is God Working or Resting? According to Genesis 2:2, God is resting. “By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.” However, according to John 5:17, God has continued to work. “Jesus said to them, ‘My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.’” And Psalm 107:15 exhorts us to “Thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for...

Kingdom of God: Why “Already / Not Yet” is Not Enough

Last updated on: September 3, 2015 at 10:32 pm By Bob Robinson

For much of the 20th Century, Dispensationalists taught that the kingdom is strictly a future event. My first Bible was the Ryrie Study Bible. I loved that Bible! I still own it (though I haven’t opened it in over ten years). Charles Ryrie was a leading theologian in the Dispensational movement in the late 20th Century. In his book, A Survey of Bible Doctrine (Chicago: Moody Press, 1972), he explains the Dispensational view of the kingdom: “The millennial kingdom is that period... Read more

8 Very Different Ways to View the Kingdom of God

Last updated on: August 31, 2015 at 6:57 pm By Bob Robinson

First in a series on the Connections Between the Kingdom of God, Missional Ministry, and Vocation. The confession that “Jesus is Lord” is the most basic foundation for the entirety of the gospel. This was the “good news” that Jesus himself preached. When we confess this, we acknowledge that all of life is placed under Christ’s lordship. The leaders of the missional church movement agree. Darrel Guder wrote, “Before the church is called to do or say anything, it is... Read more

Being Humble as We Make Bold Decisions and Submitting to When Our Plans are Changed. I never got into Google+. I don’t know any friends who did either. According to a recent article by Seth Fiegerman at Mashable, “Google’s effort to build a social network to rival Facebook began with a bold, company-wide yell. Now Google appears to be winding down Google+ with barely a whimper.” Google is known for organic technological innovation. But according to Fiegerman’s research, their Google+ project... Read more

We Are Sent Ones

Last updated on: August 28, 2015 at 10:11 am By Bob Robinson

As God Sent Jesus, Jesus Now Sends Us The Great Commission is very often pointed to as the ultimate statement for what we are supposed to do as Christians. At the end of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus tells his disciples, “Go and make disciples of all nations,baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Where can we get insight into what...

Holistic Gospel or Just Evangelism? Some Still Cling to the Latter

Last updated on: August 28, 2015 at 10:12 am By Bob Robinson

In a couple of previous posts, I discussed the concept of “Holistic Mission” (via Christopher Wright) and “Integral Mission” (via Rene Padilla). Basically, the idea is that the mission of God’s people cannot be truncated to just evangelization. For Wright, “Holistic mission includes the whole of what God calls and sends us to do. Evangelism without social action is not holistic mission. Likewise, social action without evangelism cannot be holistic mission either.” For Padilla, “The mission of the church is multifaceted...

Church Leaders: Please Affirm the High Calling of Our Daily Work

Last updated on: August 28, 2015 at 10:14 am By Bob Robinson

Church leaders, rightly, have a primary thing on their mind: The mandate to see people come to salvation in Christ. Church programs, worship services, missional small groups, and outreach events are all geared toward obeying the Great Commission that Jesus gave us in Matthew 28 to “go and make disciples…” The Commission to Make Disciples But what does it actually mean to “make disciples”? When we realize that a disciple is more than just a new convert to Christianity, but... Read more
