Judgement and Grace
Since I have been preaching to the youth group, the Great Commandment, and the Great Commission, and how the Bible keeps pointing back to that, I have been having the thoughts about judgement versus grace. Brian Zahnd has been pointing out that Jesus preached against the "who's in, and who's out" thought. Then I ran into this post that John Meunier reblogged a post he wrote a couple of years ago. It was where my thoughts have been turning. The thing is that Paul talks about this in Romans 14. John's post is well worth the read. Who Wesley would send to ...
5/2/2013 Why would God End the world?
I've been trying to share my youth messages that I have been doing. Both by sharing the text, and recording an mp3. However, since I'm having trouble affording hosting, probably only text for the time being. I had a week where I asked the students what questions they have. One question was "Why would God End the World?" So here's this week's message:
The Jeff Show – #9 Unforgiveness.
Here's the link to Sound Cloud where I uploaded it. Here's the Bible Verses from my talk: Paul said, in Colossians 3, 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. and Peter said (1 Peter 4:8) 8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. And this is because, Jesus, who was God, but also fully human while getting put on the cross said, (Luke23:34a)34 ...

The Jeff Show #7 – What Do You Desire?
[caption id="attachment_4299" align="alignleft" width="300"] Creative Commons license-some rights reserved by thanker212[/caption] Recently, I feel like God has been leading me into something. I'm not sure what, but the verse that much of this feeling is based on is Matthew 9:13, "But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners (NIV)." Couple this with what one theologian calls the "Jesus Creed," Matthew 22:37-40, "...‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[c] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And ...

More Grace and why I am on this kickI’m not a great writer. I’m good, to the extent that I do get compliments when somebody reads these posts from time to time, but not great. Sometimes, I wish that more people read my blog and commented on what I had written, if only to learn from others as they read what I said. However, it has occurred to me that 1. I’m searching...

The Power of Story, the Power of the Scene

Oregon day 4…a long day
After sleeping in and a quick walk to the beach, we headed back to Portland. We relaxed a little, walked into downtown Newberg, then to my sister’s. We watched my nephew play soccer (his team won this afternoon), then to a Korean restaurant in Beaverton. Great food. Then back here to watch football and unwind.
