I’ve actually not read that particular book yet but I’ll definitely add it to my list. Thank you for the thoughts!

Thank you for this post, Pastor Brent. Have you read “Life Together” by Dietrich Bonhoeffer? If so, did you like those writings?
I think that his writings, as your writings do, communicate a correction to the overly Romanticist thoughts on love and life presented via less-than-Biblical Cultural Christianity.
I find this paragraph beneficial to think about when struggling with the issues discussed in your posts: “Thus the very hour of disillusionment with my brother becomes incomparably salutary, because it so thoroughly teaches me that neither of us can ever live by our own words and deeds, but only by that one Word and Deed which really binds us together-
the forgiveness of sins in Jesus Christ.”

Another great post. I’m linking to these three posts on what I wrote last night.

Good series and good points.

Ephesians 3:20-21

And its a good thing he does equip us like that too because I’m sure we’d blow it in a big way if he didn’t. I mean more than we already do.
