God (434)
  1. I can only disbelieve you or believe you. If I disbelieve you, I go on being a miserable bore.
  2. The real question we must ask about God’s will isn’t, “God, command us according to your will and we’ll do it,” but, “God, what are you willing to do for us who can’t do what you command?”
  3. When I hear people describe the god they don’t believe in, no longer believe in, or can’t bring themselves to believe in, I often nod in agreement. Yes, as a follower of Jesus, I do not and would not believe in that god either.
  4. We might not appreciate that God chooses to save us by his word alone, but our discomfort doesn’t make the promise any less effective.
  5. Our smartphones, tablets, and laptops tempt us to enter into a virtual world without flesh and blood. A world without concrete, real consequences. No real pain or suffering, and no actual death.
  6. We love those who enable us to see our love for ourselves reflected back at us.
  7. Where Erasmus saw fear and collapse, Luther saw the never-ending comfort of Christ and his gospel.
  8. The Christian faith as expressed in the Creed - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Special guest Caleb Keith who is in charge of Podcasts for 1517.org, Co-Host of the Thinking Fellows Podcast and editor of the book Credo, now available at 1517.org
  9. True love isn't a thing. We can't find true love in our souls, soul mates, or safe spaces. We can't marry true love, buy it, or create it from scratch.
  10. Our very lives as parents and children implicitly proclaim this higher and lovely truth: we have no value to God based upon our usefulness.
  11. He will do it because God is the truth, and always deals with and in the truth.
  12. Jesus gave His disciples the Lord’s Prayer as a gift. It’s really our prayer when you think about it.
