deuteronomy 8:11-14, 17-18

02Nov09

¹¹ Be careful that you do not forget the LORD your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day. ¹² Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down, ¹³ and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, ¹⁴ then your heart will become proud and you will forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. ¹⁵

¹⁷ You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” ¹⁸ But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today.

NPR Show Promotes Biblical Literacy

Professor Timothy Beal of Case Western Reserve University, a recent guest on the flagship program about religion aired on National Public Radio, advocated strongly for biblical literacy, saying that without Bible knowledge, “we cannot fully participate in the public conversation.” Beal, who is clearly not a biblical literalist, still maintains that the Bible forms the foundation of western civilization and is fundamental to public discourse.

This is an amazing assertion given NPR’s historic ambivalence—and sometimes—even hostility—toward Judeo-Christian belief systems. The parent organization to NPR, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, was a creation of Congress in the late 1960s, and took a decidedly secularist tack from its very beginning. “Interfaith Voices,” the show that hosted Professor Beal, is one of the few forums on public radio to deal directly with faith. PBS, the television compliment to NPR, has one similar program called Religion and Ethics Newsweekly.

things i want to remember for ministry….

26Oct09

1. Someone must cross the cultural barriers that separate unreached peoples from the gospel (Acts 11:19­20).
2. Don’t wait to be forced out by persecution (Acts 11:19).
3. The hand of the Lord will be with you, when you follow him into his mission (Acts 11:21).
4. Be willing to serve a work that God has already begun (Acts 11:22­23).
5. The main prerequisite for this work is not great gifts but great grace (Acts 11:23­24).
6. When you sense God’s leading, recruit others to go with you (Acts 11:24­25).
7. In all your evangelism and church planting, don’t neglect to teach the converts and to take them deep into the gospel and build them up so they are stable and strong (Acts 11:23).
8. Be open to a significant change in your life (Acts 13:1­3).
