The following is what I will be presenting and handing out for a family camp I’m speaking at tomorrow morning. What would you say if you were asked to speak on the topic of giving a brief (hour and a half) interactive teaching on the mission of God in Scripture? I’m just tracing the threads… Continue reading Rediscovering the Mission of God in Scripture
I finally finished my paper for the Society for Pentecostal Studies meeting in March on N. T. Wright’s view of justification. If you are interested in reading it you can do so over on my Scribd page HERE or following the link through my “Writings” page (the footnotes are a bit goofy due to Scribd’s… Continue reading N. T. Wright's Justification and the Cry of the Spirit

Wright‘s interaction with and critique of C. S. Lewis’s “Mere Christianity”. (Apparently to be a well-published author you just need… Continue reading N.T. Wright on C.S. Lewis
