W.B. Johnson’s and K. Murray’s Crazy Love: dealing with your partner’s problem personality is a grim treatise. The volume majors in realism, not hope. More often than not, the authors’ counsel is that you will not survive the partner to whom you have tied your soul, life, checkbook, and destiny. It may be best to [...]

americana in fives: 16th Annual Naperville (Illinois) Indoor Bluegrass Music Festival
Posted in Americana, music, tagged Bluegrass, music on March 28, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Somewhere in an interval between sets by The Harmans, Donna Ulisse & the Poor Mountain Boys, Balsam Range, the bodacious Monroe Crossing, and the Josh Wiliams Band, some errant soul ventured the observation that you can line up the same five instruments multiple times at an event like this one and the sound will be [...]
por invitación: el ministerio que Dios nos ha dado (Oscar Fernández Herrera)
Posted in por invitación on March 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
En los últimos tiempos se ha dado un debate respecto a la existencia del controversial ministerio apostólico, y sobre el orden jerárquico que ostentan quienes pretenden utilizar este título dentro del liderazgo. Incluso, he escuchado que al parecer, ahora encontramos una nueva figura ministerial llamado: ‘Padre Espiritual’. Estos creen que pueden estar por encima de [...]
Scripture interrogates the community.
Posted in denkschrift on March 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
In his fine essay in the March 2010 number of Christianity Today, Darren C. Marks (‘The Mind Under Grace. Why theology is an essential nutrient for spiritual growth’) articulates an assumption that both modernist and post-modernist ‘true believers’ might well find startling: ‘Scripture interrogates the community’. Marks pens his essay a defense of ‘dry’ theology [...]
por invitación: en recuerdo de Romero (Alexander Cabezas)
Posted in por invitación on March 24, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Amigos, unas breves palabras en memoria de un pastor del pueblo: Monseñor Romero. Hoy hace 30 años la historia de América Latina jamás volvió a ser la misma. Hoy hace 30 años moría en medio del destello de las balas asesinas un profeta del pueblo. Murió abrazando no su causa, sino la causa de Jesús [...]
por invitación: el encuentro (Alexander Cabezas)
Posted in por invitación, tagged por invitación on March 16, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Es el encuentro de un maestro principal contra el gran Maestro. El escenario está listo y el hombre abre el debate: “Rabí sabemos que has venido de Dios como maestro; porque nadie puede hacer estas señales que tú haces, si no está Dios con él” (Juan 3:2). Buen discurso inaugural sin duda alguna, cargado con [...]
acquainted with grief: Isaiah 53
Posted in textures, the great sadness, tagged biblical reflection, Isaiah, textures on March 16, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
It would have been difficult to sketch out the trajectory established by the ‘servant songs’ of the book of Isaiah and arrive before the fact at anything like the profile of Jesus. Retrospect and reflection are a different matter. The New Testament writers found it natural to view Jesus within the frame established by the [...]
contempt: Psalm 1
Posted in textures, the great sadness, tagged biblical reflection, Psalms, textures on March 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The seat of mockers is a dangerous resting place. Contempt is among the most corrosive and self-destructive of human postures, particularly because of the power with which it seals off its subject from course correction or guidance from outside her bubble. Contempt decredentials all comers before they have had opportunity to make their appearance, let [...]
getting one’s kicks: Proverbs 10
Posted in textures, tagged biblical reflection, Proverbs, textures on March 3, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
A man’s amusements speak loudly of his soul. The activities to which a woman gravitates in her leisure—when she is most free to choose her options—indicates what she would do most of the time if she were able. We are, in a manner of speaking, most similar to the thing that makes us smile. As [...]
