Eugene Peterson - Tell it Slant

Tell It Slant: A Conversation on the Language of Jesus in His Stories and Prayers By Eugene H. Peterson / Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. 2009 Christianity Today Book Award of Merit in Spirituality From Christianbook.com: "Just as God used words both to create the world and to give us commandments, we too use words for many different purposes. In fact, we use the same language to talk to each other and to talk to God. Can our everyday speech, then, be just as important as the words and prayers we hear from the pulpit? Eugene Peterson unequivocally says "Yes!" Tell It Slant explores how Jesus used language---he was earthy, not abstract; metaphorical, not dogmatic. His was not a direct language of information or instruction but an indirect, oblique language requiring a participating imagination---"slant" language. In order to witness and teach accurately in Jesus' name, then, it is important for us to use language the way he did."

The Way of the Cross

Here's a sermon I preached at my church on August 2nd from Mark 8:31-9:1. I take a stab at what it means for Jesus to not be ashamed of us when he comes in the glory of his father with the holy angels. My view is that this is not a second coming text. Rather, Jesus is talking about taking up our cross right now, during a time in which the kingdom of God has come with power.

U2 and New Creation

Saw this post on the Shapevine blog:

"Been soakin up U2's new album lately. Saw this cool article on their music and their views on eschatology. You know their new album is called "No Line on the Horizon." This is actually a reference to the blending of Heaven and earth, which is exactly what God will do in the eschaton. No line means God's will is done on earth as in heaven."
