Women in Ministry, an Interview with N.T. Wright

3.16.2011 — 10 Comments

Thanks to my buddy Heath Mullikin, I stumbled upon this quick interview snippet from New Testament scholar, N.T. Wright.

My favorite pull-quote from the interview:

“There’s a lot of serious, hardworking, Christian women in (Romans) chapter 16 and I don’t think they were just making the tea after the church worship service either.”


Scripture references from the clip (open them in new-browser-tabs as you watch):
Romans 16
1 Corinthians 14
1 Corinthians 11
John 20
1 Corinthians 15
1 Timothy 2

As a Wesleyan pastor, I’m proud of our denomination and its vocal stance on valuing women in ministry, though I acknowledge that we have a long way still to go.

What are your thoughts?

Praying for Japan

3.11.2011 — Leave a comment

I was blown away this morning as I first received a text from a friend whose sister and family are currently in Japan. Instantly, I turned to Twitter to get minute-by-minute replays on what had taken place. An 8.9 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Japan. The images coming from this disaster are some of the most powerful I’ve ever seen.

I’m praying for those affected by this tragic earthquake and those who are continuing to evacuate from the path of the resulting tsunami.

Incredible photo gallery of devastation in Japan is available here.

Techology Show Podcast Guest

3.2.2011 — Leave a comment

Late last evening I was asked if I would be available to fill in this morning on the a weekly podcast that my ministry-peers record every Wednesday down in South Carolina. I jumped at the opportunity.

Among other things, we had conversations about Wisconsin teachers, Rob Bell, a new PBS show “Trubadours”, Justin Beiber, and even a tech-product that promises to regrow hair.

If you’re even slightly curious, I’d encourage you to check in on episode #96 that was recorded this morning.

Sunday Review | February 27, 2011

2.27.2011 — Leave a comment

This morning my message was titled, “Heaven is For Real”. The text we focused on was Revelation 21:1-8 and I tried to emphasize some of the realities of heaven that we know about through the revelation of God’s Word.

If you can get over my nasal-y voice and are interested in listening to the sermon, the audio is here on our church website.

I also showed this clip from the 700 Club to introduce the message and give some background about the book that I had recently finished that influence this message (and its title!):

I did a full-review of the book previously here on the blog. If you still haven’t read it, let me once-again encourage you to do so. It’s available as a paperback currently for less than $10! Even a better deal, the Kindle eBook version is available for just over $6!

Our people responded well to the sermon and its topic. I think there is a widespread interest in the subjects surrounding eternity and what heaven is like. I’m hoping that today’s message will get people talking and thinking about what God’s Word has to say about what awaits us on the ‘other side’.
