David George Moore on "Learn How to Disagree Agreeably"

“As Christians, the doctrine of sin reminds us of the many ways we rationalize, justify, and minimize our own actions and thoughts. When I remember that all humans, myself included, are both capable of great evil and also created in God’s image with God-given dignity, I find stability to navigate the choppy waters where substantial differences threaten to push us far apart.”

“…Jordan Peterson likes to tell young people that they have no credibility to protest in public unless they first keep their bedrooms neat and tidy. It’s good counsel and one Christians ought to take more seriously. I like to say that we Christians often want to start a landscape company when the weeds in our own backyard need serious attention.”

How Faith is the Fuel for Following Jesus

A few years ago, in 2015, seven people gathered for the inaugural meeting of a new group. It was a new club.  

But this group was kind of usual. The new group was about quitting and was called “The Quitters Club.”

We’re looking at one of the more famous chapters in the Bible this weekend, Hebrews 11. It’s often called “the faith chapter” or the “hall of fame of faith.”

What you may not know is that Hebrews 11 follows on a appeal not to quit. The list of people of faith are a list of people who did not join “The Quitters Club” of faith.

“But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.” (Hebrews 10:39)

We’ll look at how faith fuels that. Hope to see you there.
