• The Problem with (Christian) Politics…

  
  — Authority:

• Lifestyle Evangelism 007 Edition (MIssional Myths 2)

  
  — Authority:
  There seem to be three (at least) Missional Myths that people are embracing to one degree or another these days. They are all born out of solid ideas, but taken to extremes they are detrimental.

• missional readings of Scripture: widow of Zarephath

  
  — Authority:
  The missional conversation expects us to read the Bible with missional eyes. That means we pay attention to the edges.

• The Church is “Political”?!

  
  — Authority:
  The church has the character of a polis (the Greek word from which we get the adjective political), namely, a structured social body.

• The Greatest Act of Courage

  
  — Authority:
