Here’s the audio and video versions of today’s #DailyDose. We often listen to lies about who we are both, including the lies we tell ourselves. We need to hear God’s truth.

Douglas Wilson on Slavery and racism
In some up coming posts, I’m going to try and outline the issues concerning Douglas Wilson’s teaching in order to show why it is unhealthy. But to do so, we need to engage properly with what Wilson is actually saying rather than hearsay or exaggeration and that means we need to take a little time… Continue reading Douglas Wilson on Slavery and racism
You are not meant to be autonomous.
Out of recent conversations about church culture in the light of recent abuse scandals we’ve seen a renewed debate about complementarianism. It’s a little confusing as to how this has happened because in the cases primarily linked to complementarian leaning churches the victims of abuse tended to be young men whereas in at least one… Continue reading You are not meant to be autonomous.
We miss the radical teaching of the Bible when we impose the wrong thought categories
I think fundamentalists and liberals tend to make the same mistake about the Bible. They read it through the same modernist lens. They miss what the Bible is saying and so they miss its applicability to contemporary life. Let me give two examples to help with our thinking. First of all, let me return to… Continue reading We miss the radical teaching of the Bible when we impose the wrong thought categories

Well various explanations have been given as to what made the difference including: Fan power and an example of collectivist communitarianism. The fans stood up to big business… Continue reading Why did the European Super League fail? More lessons in idolatry

Should children take communion?
I’m reposting a couple of articles from a few years back about baptism and communion -especially as it relates to children. I’m doing this partly because these are topics that are always worth revisiting but also because I’m currently preparing some articles following up further on the question of church culture. In some of the… Continue reading Should children take communion?
Big Family of God?
I’ve written a few articles recently where I’ve talked about the importance of revisiting how we think about and talk about God if we are to see significant cultural change. I’ve suggested that we need to try and get away from corporate/business imagery and start to talk about the church as body and as family.… Continue reading Big Family of God?
