What are you afraid of? I’m not asking a rhetorical question; please take a moment and consider your heart. What, deep down, are you afraid of? I asked myself this question and made a list of the things that , right now, are causing me fear. In something like three minutes my list totaled up…
However you read the narrative of Adam and Eve, one thing is certain: sin entered the human race at some point. You may reject the notion of two actual individual persons created directly by God some millennia ago, but our essential nature is consistent with the story of the fall of man. We are created…
This is the sixth and final post in the series “Would the Real Emerger Please Stand Up?” by C. Michael Patton. In this post Patton shares his own opinions about the emergent movement and the response of the larger (is it really larger?) Church to the challenges articulated by emergers. You may laugh aloud, as…

Would the Real Emerger Please Stand Up? Part 5: Are You Emerging? Are you an emerger? Is the emerging church heretical? What should my…

I tried this a couple of weeks ago, but it failed for at least three reasons. First, I misspelled the name of the place. No one wanted to go to Matties, but perhaps they will be interested in…Matty’s!!! Second, it’s kinda crucial to identify the time. And third, it probably would help to post it…
