Fresh Focus
Posted on December 22, 2008 by petermlopez
I want to credit our church for fashioning ministries around the members rather than trying to fashion the members around the ministries.
For example, our church has started a prophetic art ministry and a writers’ circle. These ministries developed around members who were interested in these artistic media. And when the church goes out and meets [...]

For the Kingdom of Heaven is Like…
Posted on November 20, 2008 by petermlopez
Our pastor has been preaching a sermon series on what the kingdom of heaven is like, using as his text, inter alia, the parables in the book of Matthew. At the end of one of his sermons, he asked us to write our own parable using our occupations, capacities as parents, or grandparents, etc. [...]

Belief vs. Believe Part 2
Posted on August 14, 2008 by petermlopez
This is the follow up to Belief v. Believe where I discussed the difference between a belief in God and believing God. I apologize for the post in between, but I couldn’t resist tossing a little Kudos to the ESV and the ESV Bible Blog for acknowledging my post on Bible Translations.

Belief vs. Believe
Posted on July 28, 2008 by petermlopez

It seems that too many of us get caught up in whether someone believes in God. And, if that someone [...]
