How to encourage a blogger this Christmas
It appears that N.T. Wright and Martin Luther agree on their “definitions of the gospel” in a nutshell.
Tim Challies offers some good tips to better reading. I like his list, especially the variety of reading he promotes. (For my thoughts on reading “widely,” click here.)
Michael Haykin asks a piercing question. Are our churches centers of love?
Could the gospel centered only on ”going to heaven when you die” actually be another form of the happiness/prosperity gospel?
Al Mohler reflects on his visit to Harvard’s Divinity School.
Donald Dayton on identifying evangelicalism. HT – Scot McKnight

Thanks Tim for your usual thought provoking blog. I read them almost daily. Your post today got me to thinking that some people seem to think that Jesus could only do one thing while he was on earth and that was to die for our sins. I personally think that Jesus could “walk and chew gum at the same time” (or whatever the equivalent of gum was back then:) . If anyone could Jesus was definitely a multitasker. I agree that some today have totally twisted His words to mean something that they don’t but to say that say that his only purpose was to die for our sins is gross oversimplification. By his words and actions he shows us how he wants us to live. Can we meet Jesus’ perfect living; definitely not but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t at least try.
Thanks for the thoughts,
RJ
