The Oratory of the Heart: How Benedictine Spirituality had Shaped My Walk with Christ (3 – The Vows)

Last updated on: June 12, 2012 at 7:10 pm   By Kurt Willems

I am excited to have another post here by David Ozab. He is a writer and recently converted to Roman Catholicism. While I do not share his denominational convictions, certainly it is beneficial to hear from others outside of our own sphere of experience.  The body of Christ is multifaceted!  I am pleased to have his guest contribution on the blog… —————————————————————————————————— The Oratory of the Heart: How Benedictine Spirituality had Shaped My Walk with Christ Part Three: The Vows.... Read more

Why I voted for Jesus instead of Obama in the primary

Last updated on: June 12, 2012 at 8:47 pm   By Kurt Willems

Why I voted for Jesus instead of Obama in the primary… Because, obviously, President Obama is uncontested during the primary election so nothing is actually on the line by writing in a candidate like Jesus. Because as a registered Independent, I’m not allowed to vote in the Republican primary contest. Because, Jesus is the only president (King) worth voting for, not just in a ballot box, but every day of my life. Because although President Obama’s rhetoric is less militant... Read more

Mutuality in the Church for the sake of the Kingdom (#mutuality2012)

Last updated on: June 5, 2012 at 8:32 pm   By Kurt Willems

*The following is written by my good friend Jacob Evers. He graduated from Fuller Theological Seminary with an MA in Theology and blogs at “A Christian Blog: an anabaptist’s perspective on the world.“ Galatians 3:23-39 states: “Now before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith would be revealed. Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer subject... Read more

Love Wins Isn’t Jewish Enough for Rob Bell

Last updated on: June 18, 2012 at 1:09 pm   By Kurt Willems

I like Love Wins. Actually, I love Love Wins. No, it isn’t a thorough theological treatment of the afterlife, but it certainly provokes important questions. The broad vision of the book is admirable and courageous. One of my favorite themes in this book is how Rob Bell points out that many people choose not to respond to Jesus because the Christ that is preached to them, is not the same Son of God portrayed in the Scriptures. Sometimes, we start... Read more

Eating Some Humble Pie in a Hungarian Village

Last updated on: May 30, 2012 at 10:47 pm   By Kurt Willems

Last Sunday night I had the privilege of being part of a church planting core team meeting with some friends who are doing solid kingdom work. To open up the meeting they had a bit of an “icebreaker” question. They asked: What was your best dining experience? I sat there, not knowing what story to tell. I enjoy telling stories, which is why I probably enjoy preaching. But in this moment, I could not think of a single story about... Read more
