A Squeakier Patches and Stumpy – YouTube. Here is a reposting of a classic reflection on the dangers and inadequacies of strict Biblical literalism and inerrancy. Biblical interpretation is not about getting the words and rules right, its about encountering the living God active in our lives now. But let’s just say the position “The […]

Ark Encounter Introduction – YouTube. Yep, you will soon be able to go to Kentucky to see a “life size” Noah’s Ark, Tower of Babel, Dinosaurs and humans together the way God intended (not like Jurassic Park), and other weirdness. However, they are not going to be crucifying Jesus everyday like they do in Orlando […]

Have a little free time tonight, so I’m going to repost the 2011 podcasts iTunes. I’m looking at a couple different new podcasts although recently I have been pondering Facebook, Twitter, and Personal Boundaries. In light of some of the recent NFL player tweets and the problems that has caused and pastors and other community […]

Rachel Held Evans | The Great Disappointment. Once again Rachael does a great job in looking at both the history of the rapture craziness but also a more serious perspective on us who are the vast majority of Christians. I love this line: Like it or not, Harold Camping and his followers make us laugh […]

Well, Lent was certainly interesting and perhaps the most interesting part was the continued debate over Rob Bell’s book, Love Wins. While the press coverage is largely done, the debate among pastor people and religious blogs is continuing. During this season when we remembered Jesus suffering, death, and resurrection, one segment of the church focused […]

This started on Facebook but a running post here on Wired Jesus might make a better venue for discussion, especially considering my next podcast that is in the works is on the larger issue of the evangelical uproar over the book. Rob has not said anything new, as he says, but I would say the […]

Rob Bell and C.S. Lewis (by Jeff Cook) | Jesus Creed. One of the best reflections on this matter by an evangelical and I believe he is spot on when he concludes with this: The debate over Love Wins is not actually a fight only about doctrine. It is about angst caused by different cultures […]

A Question about Martin Bashir’s Question | Jesus Creed. You learning something new all the time. I don’t watch much MSNBC but Martin was very dogged about having Rob Bell answer the either/or question on salvation and personal decision. I had no idea he was an evangelical and to my own embarassment, I stereotyped him […]

Armageddon Entrepreneurs: Who’s Profiting From Fear? – CNBC. This pretty much says it all: This latest wave of turmoil is prompting some pastors, like John Hagee of San Antonio, Texas, to use their websites to promote their ideas, along with links to materials for purchase. Hagee is a popular televangelist and senior pastor of the […]

It Was Only a Matter of Time: Rob Bell Pisses Off the Fundamentalists » Scott Seeke Script and Scripture from The River Church. I finished a podcast transcript over the weekend that I entitled Rob Bell – The Whipping Boy for God’s Grace. I hope to have it recorded and posted by Friday but it […]
