blogroll update

My blogroll has increased by at least two lately.  Monk Water is written by a pastor friend of mine in North Phoenix and Speaking of Phoenix Real Estate is Shar’s new blog.  Enjoy!

Dispensationalism and Injustice

This will be my last post on end times stuff (for a while, anyway – I didn’t plan on doing this three days in a row). This one is specifically a moral argument against dispensationalism.
Before I get going, go here to read a good, much more balanced, article that does not include anything about [...]

More on End Times and the Millennium

Here is a little more about end times stuff.  It will explain several of the theological options people often take and will show more of why I land in a place that does not include an actual Millennium.  I would like to emphasize that all of this is speculative.  Two great quotes are in order:

The Book of Revelation

Lately I’ve heard some people speculating about the “End Times.” There are wars, financial disaster, elections, etc., and all this leads some to speculate about a Left Behind kind of world. Well I don’t buy it. Not for one minute. There will be an end, that much we know, but we [...]

Vote for Obama (2)??

About two years ago Shar and I purchased a sweet new LCD TV (our old one, you see, broke and we were forced [...]

JibJab makes McLaren’s point

It happens that Shar was watching stuff on JibJab last night and came [...]

Big Shift

At our house church gathering this week we had a great conversation. Here are just a few of the highlights:
 
This is cool: someone said, “I have begun to see Jesus standing with everyone, everywhere. Even the “bad guys.” I’ll be watching cops, and there is Jesus with the guy running away. [...]

Vote for Obama?

I just read a blog on why one should vote for Obama.  It made a really good point.  Go here to read it yourself.  What do you think?
