1. I wonder if Joel Osteen has ever read the book of Job?
2. I read The Radical Reformission by Mark Driscoll this week. Its a great read if you are a Christian and care about actually being one.
3. “I’m delighted that Liberal theologians do their best to do what Pio Nono said shouldn’t be done– try to accommodate Christianity to modern science, modern culture, and democratic society. If I were a Fundamentalist Christian, I’d be appalled by the wishy-washiness of their version of the Christian faith. But since I am a non-believer who is frightened of the barbarity of many Fundamentalist Christians, I welcome theological Liberalism. Maybe Liberal theologians will eventually produce a version of Christianity so wishy-washy that nobody will be interested in being a Christian anymore. If so, something will have been lost, but probably more will have been gained” -Richard Rorty - Professor of Philosophy at Stanford University
This is something that scares me. If relativistic, egalitarian, limp-wristed, pro-gay, hippie “Christians” keep on neglecting the Gospel, then much more harm will be done in the name of God than redemption.
4. I ordered the new ESV Study Bible yesterday… according to the internet it will be here by Thursday.
5. I really started looking at Wayne Gruedem’s Systematic Theology this week and I have already learned a ton.
6. Up next on my reading list is Death By Love by Mark Driscoll and Evangelism & The Sovereignty of God by J.I. Packer.
7. I think that is about it for now.
