Soren Kierkegaard: A Parable of Affluence Rather than the Simplicity of Christ

Last updated on: January 10, 2012 at 11:42 am By Kurt Willems

The following functions as a parable for those who let “worry” lead to the desire for financial security and eventually affluence, rather than choosing the simplicity of Christ. Read the following in light of Matthew 6.25ff… When the prosperous man on a dark but star-lit night drives comfortably in his carriage and has the lanterns lighted, aye, then he is safe, he fears no difficulty, he carries his light with him, and it is not dark close around him; but...

Evangelical Culture Myths: #1 Speaking in Tongues is From the Devil, Unless Interpreted

Last updated on: February 13, 2021 at 1:42 pm By Kurt Willems

Today I begin a long term series called “Evangelical Culture Myths.” I invite you to submit various sorts of cultural myths that we evangelicals tell. Aside from the one I’m covering today, another obvious one (if you read this blog regularly) could be: “The earth will be destroyed eventually so who cares about being ‘green.'” I’d love to cover some myths that you are interested in: either theological or practical in nature. Send them to me via email, FB, or... Read more

Your Granny Is a Process Theologian! (Does God Change?) – Guest Post From Homebrewed Christianity (Tripp and Bo)

Last updated on: January 9, 2012 at 3:40 pm By Kurt Willems

This past October I finally got to meet (in person) Bo Sanders and Tripp Fuller of Homebrewed Christianity. They are great guys and if you do not subscribe to their podcast, well, you are missing out on something amazing. They’ve interviewed too many names to list them all here, but lets throw down a couple: NT Wright, John Caputo, Peter Rollins, Brian McLaren, and Roger Olson. By listening to the podcast and having some convos with Bo, I’ve learned that... Read more

John Hagee with Benny Hinn: Praying For War in the Name of Jesus

Last updated on: January 7, 2012 at 1:25 pm By Kurt Willems

Thanks to my good friend Conrad Schweizerhof for sharing this video with me. Serious… this is the problem with Christian Zionism, which is fueled by an extreme version of Dispensational Theology. Here are three posts in which I demonstrate this is an un-biblical approach to Israel (outside of my known stance of Nonviolence). — 1) Does God Have Two People’s In His Story? 2) God’s Chosen People and God’s Chosen Politics 3) Even a Jewish Rabbi Thinks That Christian Zionism...

Without Being a Missionary You Cannot Be a Disciple (Quote to Ponder: Alan and Deborah Hirsch)

Last updated on: January 5, 2012 at 1:40 pm By Kurt Willems

I’m currently reading Untamed: reactivating a missional form of discipleship by Alan and Deborah Hirsch. This quote stood out to me on page 29: You simply cannot be a disciple without being a missionary – a sent one. For way too long discipleship has been limited to issues relating to our own personal morality and worked out i the context of the four walls of the church with its privatized religion. In doing this, we have severely neglected our biblical... Read more

I’m Mennonite… and Finally Became Anabaptist: Embracing our Mission to Post-Christian America

Last updated on: January 10, 2012 at 12:48 pm By Kurt Willems

I’m a Mennonite. Yes, it’s true. Mennonite even in the “ethnic” sense. In fact, I often say that I have more of a family wreath than a family tree because both sides of my lineage link to the Mennonite Brethren from Prussia. I actually broke the wreath by marrying a Russian Molokan turned evangelical – but that’s beside the point. For most of my life, my Anabaptist Mennonite heritage was more filled with culture than the biblical values that... Read more

Christian Imagination: living “thy Kingdom come”

Last updated on: January 2, 2012 at 9:01 pm By Kurt Willems

Dr. Richard Beck once made an argument in a lecture I attended at ACU. The lecture primarily drew from Dr. Beck’s work on purity psychology. Dr. Beck did several demonstrations. One was that he took an apple, touched a piece of dog poop to it for a few seconds, and then asked the students if they would eat the apple. Their answer was a resounding no. After a bit they decided that they could eat the apple if they consciously... Read more
