Very interesting video interview with Mark Driscoll (hat tip: Adrian Warnock) where he talks about some of his views of Sydney, Australia based on research he’s conducted, along with other miscellaneous spiritual or personal topics. Funny thing is I rarely read or listen to anything by Mark and actually disagree with some of his theology, [...]
It’s tempting to spend a lot of time talking about pet theories regarding the state of the Church today and what revival should look like, but, to quote Mahatma Gandhi, you must be the change you want to see in the world. So that means that it’s important to give the experiences and practices of [...]
Editor’s note: upon re-reading this post, I felt it necessary to state my hands are far from clean in regards to my own level of discernment, and I am hardly one to claim I have all the answers to these issues. I’m as guilty of falling into error as the next guy. We can all [...]
I’ve been doing some intense thinking lately, which is why I haven’t posted in a little while. This intense thinking has led me to some intense answers, and rather than let my brain explode trying to hold it all in, I figured I’d unpack my inclinations a bit here on Finite Calls Infinite and start [...]
If you’ve never heard of the “Florida outpouring” or “Lakeland revival”, then you probably can skim though this post. Don’t skip it though, because there’s some good stuff at the end. If you have, then you may be feeling very confused, disappointed, lost, even betrayed right now. It started out so unassuming…another conference at a [...]
I’ve been eating up a book I recently bought called Pagan Christianity, which has been making waves in the Christian community since its release at the beginning of this year. Basically, the book makes the outrageous claim that virtually everything that happens in a typical church service, whether Evangelical, Pentecostal, Mainline Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, or [...]
Today, my brother Shayne and I attended The Whiteboard Sessions, a one-day church leadership conference that was organized by Ben Arment who is a pastor of Reston Community Church. Heh, that would explain why the event was held in Reston, VA. Silly me. Honestly, I had no idea who Ben was or practically how this [...]
If you’ve been hanging around here a while, you may have got a few whiffs of a “super-secret” Web site I’ve been working on. I’m not quite ready to spill the beans, but I can give you a few hints. For starters, I am a big believer in content aggregation. There are many well-established sites [...]
I was listening to a recent “webinar” by Lance Wallnau in his online teaching course, and in looking up a passage in the the Letter of the Apostle Paul to the Romans, an adjacent chapter leapt out at me and so captivated my attention that it was like the words were literally jumping off of [...]
I’m growing increasingly bored with the “emergent church”. Yes, bored. Possibly a strange choice of words, I know, but there’s no other way to say it. It’s just boring. I listened to a message yesterday by Rob Bell, pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, MI, and though Bell is obviously a very [...]
