As Christian men and women, filled with God’s Spirit and called to loving unity in the body of Christ, we can be open to our natural differences (in their varied individual manifestations and cultural expressions) and work with them for the glory of God.
To eliminate the propositional nature of biblical truth seriously weakens our ability to hold, defend, and explain the gospel. But to speak of truth only as propositions weakens our appreciation of the incarnate Son as the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and the communicative power of narrative and story, and the importance of truth as living truly in correspondence to God.
If the Scriptures are useful for rebuking then that is one of the things I should use them for. I should expect one of the effects of reading my Bible is that I will be rebuked. When was the last time you asked God to rebuke you as you read or heard the Bible?
Rory provides a systematic breakdown of the circumstances, theology, and context of Jesus’ death and resurrection in an admirably short book.
God in his grace and kindness entrusts us not just with errands to run, but with resources to invest. God wants us to think creatively, ambitiously, and laterally about the work of the kingdom. In a world of finite resources we should think about where our time, energy, and attention goes.

How do you evoke transcendent reality when we live in … a ‘disenchanted’ world? When formal/traditional religious accounts of reality have been largely banished from the public square—or at least muted—what’s to take their place?
