This is what I like about WillowCreek-hosts dialogue with gay activists

Posted by Don Bryant on July 19, 2008

Hybels is nothing if not courageous. Recently Willow hosted a dialogue with Soulforce, a group of homosexual activists, who have targeted several major churches asking for a dialogue. You can imagine the heat he has taken for this. I, for one, think it’s a great idea to invite those who oppose the church and its moral commitments to a worship service, lunch and discussion. It is in the interest of Christ to make it clear that the church is about redemption and that the person fartherest away from God is more loved than we can imagine. I can’t imagine that Hybels in any way gave ground on the moral imperatives of the Bible.

Why I am not going to buy the new ESV study Bible

Posted by Don Bryant on July 19, 2008

Simply put – enough is enough. Yes, I would love to get my hands on it. I like the ESV and the contributing authors have my respect. But how much more am I going to get out of another study Bible? After all, I have the NIV Study Bible, the Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible, The Geneva Study Bible, the Word in Life Study Bible, The Harper Study Bible, The Archaelogy Study Bible, The Thompson Chain Reference Study Bible – and that’s just what I remember without looking at my library. Another study Bible makes me feel like I am buying a Hummer – there’s just got to be a point where we say “no more.”

I wonder if you should buy an SUV now

Posted by Don Bryant on July 19, 2008

If it is the cost of gas you are worried about, perhaps now would be the time to buy one of those SUVs they can’t unload. They are selling at such huge discounts that what you save will more than make up for what you would have spent on the gas – assuming we don’t go up to $8 a gallon. Which we won’t. Americans are not going to let that happen. I was there for the 1973 oil crisis. We were constantly told that we were running out of oil. So many bought it. We weren’t and aren’t. I think Americans just might do energy self-sufficiency this time. Good ole USA.
