Of course, the disclosure is on the heels of heightened global tension between Christians and Muslims giving rise to an outcry of protest across the nation. Moreover,... Read more

The Red Letter Revolution has begun! What if Jesus meant what he said?

Last updated on: October 9, 2012 at 12:26 am By Kurt Willems

A question that many younger followers of Jesus are asking is: What if Jesus meant what he said? It seems like an odd question on the surface. We’d be tempted to answer: Of course he did! Which exposes the deep importance that the question gets at. Many of us who graduated just before or after the turn of the millennium have asked this question in various ways for the past decade or so. We’ve noticed that what we see in... Read more

Exterminate them without mercy: The problem of Joshua, genocide, and the character of God

Last updated on: October 2, 2012 at 9:51 pm By Kurt Willems

A couple of years ago, I wrote the following blog post about an approach to the most difficult text when it comes to understanding God’s character. Although I think my view has / is evolv(ed/ing), I think that this article is a good conversation starter. In the next year or so I plan to revisit Old Testament violence. Particularly, I’m looking forward to reading more OT scholars and utilizing Greg Boyd’s forthcoming book, “The Crucifixion of the Warrior God.” What I’m particularly... Read more

Is the Church still emerging?

Last updated on: September 29, 2012 at 11:40 am By Kurt Willems

This article is a response to one I poste a week ago. What do you think? Here’s an excerpt: This morning I was reading a post from Kurt Willems’ blog about John Piper’s comments on the Emerging Church. The post contains a You Tube clip of what Piper said and then critiques what is said within that. Willems explains why he views Pipers comments which are summed up by terms like “shambles” and “heresy” as unfair before going on to raise questions about why so many emergent... Read more
