Mexico and Liberal Theologians

Well, here I am again.  Two days in a row of being on the internet.  Wow!!!  That is amazing.  Now that I have a little more time, I must update everyone.  I got here on Friday night and the city is beautiful.  The house that I am staying in is in the historic part of the city.  In the center.  I am right across the street from a Baskin Robins!!!  I know, weird right?  My family has a mom, dad, grandma, son and the cousin of the son is here right now.  The family and my brother´s (the families really adopt you here) friends are nice.  On Saturday morning I was spending time with God, listening to a prophetic song and I saw a crucifix with Jesus on it that is over the door.  Continue reading

Multi-Site Church: Be Technologically Consistent

At Conversatio Morum we’ve been doing a series on the Multi-Site model of church. Since we’re dedicated to Theology, Technology, and Missiology, we’re spending the last two posts on the Technological side of things. The last post dealt with the practicals of thinking through technology and viewing it as an investment. You can read that here. This is the final post in the Multi-Site Church series and I want to take some time to deal with the final piece, consistency. Continue reading

I found this poem that is attributed to a female bishop who lived in the late 400′s or early 500′s. I think it is one of my favorite poems in church history. (Amy, you might like this, it’s the one that I told you about.) Continue reading

Homosexuality, Church, and Jesus

A few days ago I was on Facebook when I noticed that a friend of mine had changed their profile photo. You may have noticed the image he changed it to. It’s the featured image on this post. A red square with an equal sign. I was then informed, after a bit of research, that this was from the Human Rights Campaign and that it is showing up everywhere due to the Supreme Court debate regarding same-sex marriage. I normally try my best to avoid political issues (apart from with a very select group of friends), but since Conversatio Morum is written to address the subject of theology and culture, I figure that it’s appropriate and I hope that this post brings some clarity and is helpful to you as the nationwide conversation continues.

Victory over the Darkness

Here’s the point of it all kids…………..You ready?…………..God loves you!!! “Wow, big surprise.”(sarcasm added) That is probably what most of you are thinking. But that is it. We all think we know it but we don’t. Our actions disprove what we say we believe. Our actions show that we are always wanting attention. We are always asking “Does someone care?” or “Is someone interested in who I am?” The answer is yes. Continue reading
