The Cross (110)
  1. Jesus doesn’t talk about God’s love for us; he embodies it.
  2. Death can make us feel like tourists or strangers traveling across the landscape of someone else’s life.
  3. Americans love the vicarious sense of pride they get from the odds-defying underdog myth.
  4. We tell our children if they work hard and play by the rules, they’ll succeed in life. Jerks, cheaters, and thieves won’t. They’ll end up in the gutter. Or jail. Or worse.
  5. The thing seems incredible, and I would not have believed it myself, nor have understood Paul’s words here, had I not witnessed it with my own eyes and experienced it.
  6. Right now (and I would add, for quite some time) there has been a debate within Christianity about the whole issue of culture.
  7. It's easy to become habituated to sin. It comes naturally, after all. The power and pressure of sin on us, from conception to the grave, is immense.
  8. A Roman execution device isn't exactly a picturesque scene of divine love on display.
  9. Two Natures and Maximum Effort! Riley and Gillespie continue to talk about Athanasius’ “On The Incarnation”, but this week they get into the historical, bodily resurrection of Jesus, and why Jesus’ resurrection upends our search for self-discovery and meaning.
  10. Two Natures and Maximum Effort! Riley and Gillespie talk about Athanasius’ apology in his writing, “On The Incarnation”, for the historical, bodily death of Jesus, and why Jesus’ death and resurrection is the end of religion.
  11. In Martin Luther's Small Catechism he borrows a line from St. Augustine about what defines a "god."
  12. Just in time for Holy Week, Daniel and Erick have come to Matthew's account of the death and burial of Jesus.
