http://www.asmallfaith.org Sat, 30 Aug 2008 20:51:57 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en After a week of spending 2.5 hours a day on the road(commuting for some training), I'm happy to be home doing next to nothing on a Saturday. Posting to the blog was non-existent too, and though I could have found the time, quite honestly the motivation was lacking. So to get ... http://www.asmallfaith.org/335/take-6-spread-love/ Thought this would provide a good counterpoint to the opinion expressed in my previous post. It's a little long but worth it. There is nothing between the person of the Lord Jesus and the person of the believer as that union and communion develops and grows. I think this is a ... http://www.asmallfaith.org/332/no-such-thing-as-grace/ Can grace somehow be defined as power? And can we then we then follow certain steps to get more grace/power from God? The pastor at a Baptist church we visited recently certainly thinks so. Here's a little snippet from his sermon : ...We take our faith and we direct it to ... http://www.asmallfaith.org/327/is-grace-power/ Our blog friend Katiekind recently posted on her affection for a certain contemporary hymn - which just happens to be one of mine as well. We have a nice acapella version of this done by the ZOE Group that I finally found online at Imeem(which I've never used, so I ... http://www.asmallfaith.org/325/in-christ-alone/ I linked to this video in a comment on Jenn's last post but she's right, it needs its own piece of real estate. Comments? Questions? Faint sizzling sensation down your spine? http://www.asmallfaith.org/322/pickled-christians/ If you've read AsF for any time at all, you are probably aware of our family's struggle to stay or leave the church that we have attended for 16+ years. We've been visiting around some this summer. Frankly, it's not our favorite thing to do, but it's been ... http://www.asmallfaith.org/315/wheres-the-gospel/ Was cleaning up some stuff and ran across this questionnaire I did as part of a worldview class a few years ago. Thought it might be of interest to someone out there. Note : Most of these aren't original with me. Looks like I swiped a good part of them from ... http://www.asmallfaith.org/311/worldview-questionnaire-god-in-our-world/ This is a perfectly pointless game.  Go ahead. Try to beat me. :P Post your scores in the comments (if you're not too ashamed to be beaten by a girl.)* *Disclaimer: This comment has absolutely no bearing on my stance on gender roles in the church. :D http://www.asmallfaith.org/308/monkey-madness/ Something about the meeting last night brought to mind a Ken Myers talk I listened to recently. Yes, I'm linking Ken Myers and "emergent" but I think it's because they have some of the same concerns. Namely, seeing God's plan as more than just individualistic salvation and then working out ... http://www.asmallfaith.org/305/culture-via-creation/ While I'm not exactly an emerging/emergent fanboy, I do think there are some useful things which have come out of the movement. So when the opportunity comes around to go see a couple of the "big guys", I see no reason to turn it down. I had not even heard of ... http://www.asmallfaith.org/302/going-to-the-roadshow/
