Discuss Theology

From Christianity Today:
Christian Music Today reported on Norman’s last concert in 2005 in “Farewell, Larry Norman.”

Larry Norman’s brother, Charles, posted a message on his website.

YouTube posts videos of some of Larry Norman’s classic performances.

He died at 60.

I was pleased to find out today that David Tyree, [who caught Eli Manning's pass in the super bowl and held it to his helmet], is a serious believer. That is good news.

I was interested today to note that on the blog rating site, Truthlaidbear.com, Piper ranks in the top 100 blogs on the web. That is impressive.

I like Barack Obama’s deportment. I think many [certainly not all] of the things he states are informed by his faith. I also think that my early statements about the nature of his theology are probably correct in that they are are informed by James Cone and his understanding of “Black Theology”. Parallel to that is Michelle Obama’s undergraduate thesis stating that she is basically still in exile and misunderstood by her liberal white profs. there at Princeton. [Find that thesis on Drudge] As much as I like Barack Obama, this recurrent undercurrent of racism concerns me.

This is worth checking out on Islam, conversion and where we really are and may be heading.http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2008/march/7.24.html

I saw Frank Schaeffer on Book TV the other night reviewing his own new memoir. I look forward to reading it-for free-at Border’s soon. He has moved theologically etc. etc. There was a sense of sadness as I listened to him, but I will review it soon after I read it.

John Piper on NT Wright and justification. This is worthwhilehttp://www.desiringgod.org/Blog/825/

I was just looking at a post on the Christianity Today web site asking myself, how many truly sincere believers even know what “deconstruction” is. The real danger we face is ending up in a corner talking to ourselves without anyone understanding what we are saying.
