christianity christ salvation
Every other religion is a salvation by self, Christianity is a salvation by Christ.
kind like-you christianity
[ Christianity], in and of itself, sets itself apart inherently, and so, for somebody to say, Well it just seems to me like you can pick between all these religions and still have the same thing. Its kind of like somebody saying, You could pick between 80 bananas and one apple and say you have a banana. You cant call that apple a banana.
different christianity
There is no religion like Christianity, it is not one religion among others, it is completely different, its mixing apples and oranges.
christian teaching grace
What I try to do is narrow the sermon series down to one big question. In this case the question is: What happens when grace happens? I knew I wanted to preach about grace. I just felt as if it was time for our church to be refreshed and see the beauty of God's grace - the uniqueness of the Christian grace as compared to the teachings of other world religions on forgiveness.
christian jesus powerful
Someday I want to go back and maybe write another book on those seven sayings. I just think they are kind of like a table of contents to the Christian hope. They invite us to go into all the aspects of the heart of Jesus. Everything about them from the drama, the setting, the passion around them - I think the seven sayings of the cross are powerful.
christian book thinking
I think the current book [for Christian apologetics] is by Lee Strobel, its called A Case for Christ.
christian nice book
I work in theology and Christian books all day long, when Im studying, so its just kind of nice to pick up something different. The books that have influenced me, theres not just one book that was a watershed, although Mere Christianity was as much as any.
weekend church pastor
We're also a multi-site church, so we have other pastors on other campuses who want to read the message before the video plays on the weekend services. So it just works better for me.
friday team sunday
Usually I'm able to prepare a message about two to three weeks in advance.I know some preachers don't like that. They want to be finishing it on Friday before they preach it on Sunday, but our worship team really likes me to get it done way in advance.
kind
Fredrick Buechner kind of loosened me up, hes got a little irreverency to him and I have a little too much reverancy.
kind
Fredrick Buechner kind of loosened up my clerical collar, you might say.
couple
A couple of things have helped. One is that I dont travel any, that takes a lot of time from peoples schedules, if they travel, so I dont travel.
anxiety concern
My main concern is with the anxiety that has settled upon America.
smart people very-smart
I don't get asked a lot of questions about science and the Bible, for example. Probably people just know I'm not very smart and I don't have an answer to those anyway.
