    Those powerful four or five words…

    25th May 2005

    It’s not about you…

    This post is not about a defense of Rick Warren, nor about the defense of the Purpose-Driven Life Movement.

    As I said before, I haven’t read the book, except for the first few chapters, and attending a couple of small group study sessions at a friend’s 40-Day experience, including the final session, including watching the video presentation of that final meeting.

    What I would like to do in this post is to add one more question to those I started to ask before. By the way, very few people have attempted to answer any of my questions before. Maybe this blog needs a huge publicity campaign to get more of the right readers, and some kind of bribe to get them to respond when they do visit and read. Ah, well, I can only wish…

    Christian Carnival #71

    25th May 2005

    Techno Gypsy has put up Christian Carnival #71 for this week. It looks like a large Carnival, and he has organized the over fifty entries in this week’s carnival in the form of stories of the desert fathers. I don’t know much about these desert fathers, but my entry, Thinking About Nicodemus, was classed under Basic Beliefs. Years ago, I wrote an Honors Project Thesis for my Philosophy degree part of which explored Alvin Plantinga’s reformed epistemology and proper basicality (when it was first introduced in the early eighties and quite novel and “cool” then), but I don’t think this is along the same vein as that. It is probably more to do with “basic beliefs of the Christian faith.”

    Anyway, go on over there now, put up your feet, and fix yourself a cuppa and enjoy the stories…
