Busy is Not Cool

Last updated on: August 30, 2015 at 10:55 pm By Bob Robinson

8 Questions to Prayerfully Assess Why You Are So Busy. When I run into friends and acquaintances, they will usually ask me, “How’ve you been?” My reply is often, “Busy,” or “I’ve barely got my head above water,” or “Keeping all the plates spinning.” Why do I answer like this? Sure, it’s a way of assuring people (and myself) that I am diligent in all my various duties. But more likely it is a way to proudly state that I am significant.... Read more

The Disruption That is The Sabbath

Last updated on: June 29, 2015 at 12:53 pm By Glynn Young

When we first moved to St. Louis, we lived in a suburb that had two large synagogues or temples. In fact, we were the westernmost of three adjacent suburbs with large numbers of people of Jewish faith. On Saturdays, it was not unusual see Orthodox Jews walking to their synagogue. In St. Louis society, this observance of the Sabbath set them apart as few other things could or did. At the same time, Sundays were governed by state “blue laws.”... Read more

How do we “Oikos” in the cultural context of the United States?

Last updated on: June 23, 2015 at 12:26 pm By Bob Robinson

Bob Rognlien, the Director of 3DM West, wrote a post today at Discipling Culture entitled “What is the Context of Biblical Discipleship?” He and his wife Pam lead immersion experiences in the Holy Land, where they see how life was (and is still is) lived in a different context from us here in the United States. He writes, “When we visit places like Nazareth, Capernaum, and Chorazin we see the homes people inhabited in biblical times were designed for multiple... Read more

Following Jesus in the Everyday Stuff of Life – Jeff Vanderstelt

Last updated on: June 18, 2015 at 1:19 pm By Bob Robinson

In this two-minute video, Jeff Vanderstelt makes the case that we won’t be effective in reaching people if we rely on them coming to church or events to hear the gospel. Instead, we need to approach life with gospel intentionality, so people see what it looks like to be a follower of Jesus in the everyday stuff of life.

What Does Jesus Have to Do With Work?

Last updated on: May 27, 2015 at 7:10 am By Vincent Bacote

Nothing teaches theology quite like “The Jesus Picture Show.” So I often show one to my theology classes, including a range of Jesus images from early Christian icons to contemporary T-shirts that proclaim “Jesus is My Homeboy.” It is a fun exercise, but it has a serious point. Our images of Jesus reveal a lot about how we connect Jesus to our lives.Traditional images can make Jesus feel Traditional images can make Jesus feel sovereign, but very distant. Contemporary images... Read more

Creation Is a Manifesto

Last updated on: May 25, 2015 at 7:24 am By James K. A. Smith

We Christians sometimes try to be holier than God, especially when it comes to creation. We act as if the world is under the sway of the evil one. And we get our escape pods ready, practically eager to abandon creation, convinced that God doesn’t really care about it either. But that’s hardly God’s take on creation. Indeed, in the Incarnation, the Word made flesh, the Creator of the universe moves into our neighborhood. The infinite, transcendent God becomes embodied... Read more

What Does it Mean to “Make Disciples?”

Last updated on: May 13, 2015 at 3:54 pm By Bob Robinson

William Carey, in the 19th century, defined Christian mission by interpreting the “Great Commission” (“go and make disciples”)[1] as primarily the geographic expansion of Christianity by means of making converts through evangelism. This paradigm influenced generations of evangelicals throughout the 20th Century. “Protestants who used the Great Commission as their foundation for mission assumed the following: that salvation was individualistic; that salvation had to do primarily with a spiritual and personal relationship with Jesus Christ; that the primary calling of...
