Searching Out the Matter

He Has Become for Us… Part One

It looks like we have a series on our hands, with the previous article serving as an introduction. If I am hearing right, somewhere along the way we will search out the meanings of the four graces found in 1 Corinthians 1:30 — namely, wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. Before we go there, let me share what I have discovered about applying them generally to our lives.

Searching Out the Matter

He Has Become for Us…

Here we have four graces – wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption – that the Messiah Jesus became for us. There’s no questioning the truth of this, but it seems much too abstract to apply practically. What does it mean and imply for our daily lives? How do we experience the reality of it as our own?

Problems with Our Doctrines – Part Six

If God does not intervene with an undeniable call to reformation, he will nevertheless intervene with inexplicable wrath and judgment (A. W. Tozer). This sixth and final article in the series will speak transparently to the heart of the matter, suggest a transformational approach to digging our way out of this predicament, and offer specific solutions to each of the previously listed problems. #iamjustthepen #inLightConsulting

Problems with Our Doctrines – Part Five

Mankind was not created to live from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil – from reasoning with our minds about the right and wrong of things. Those determinations belong to God. Importantly, our doctrines are kept and considered in the mind, and operating from our minds is a particularly tricky thing in the Age of Enlightenment and Reason. Yes, doctrines can tell us what we should believe, but they are not faith, nor are they the spiritual organ of faith.

Problems with Our Doctrines – Part Four

The vast majority of my clients have struggled to venture outside their perceived doctrinal boxes for fear of falling into some form of heresy. They simply did not know to trust their Teachers – the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ – to guide them. Consequently, those who chose to be “better safe than sorry” failed to discover the mysteries of God and serve Him as faithful stewards. Tragically, the transformation offered by God for the good works He had created for them never happened.

Problems with Our Doctrines – Part Two

Doctrines are generally necessary, good, and serve an important function in the formation of Christians and the function of the Body of Christ. The problems with doctrines lie in the priority we give them, our restricted focus on them, and our misuse of them. The well-intended but flawed applications of our doctrines have truly damaged the Body of Christ and unnecessarily thwarted Jesus Christ’s purpose in building His church into His wife.

A Christian Response to the Metacrisis

Problems with Our Doctrines – Part One

The storms, chaos, and crises we face within and outside of the church offer unprecedented challenge and opportunity. Maximizing the opportunities of this season – including Christianity once again becoming the source of meaning and purpose in people’s lives – requires we address the problems created by our doctrines. The challenges we face will be exacerbated if we do not.

From Artificial Intelligence to Biblical Wisdom – A Spectrum of Gaps

These findings, and more like them, point to one critical and missing ingredient: wisdom. In fifteen short years (of social media platforms on smart phones), humankind has proven it lacks the wisdom to safely implement agentic Digital Technology. #iamjustthepen #inLightConsulting

Mitigating the Damage of Our Distracted Minds and Hearts

Those of us with the wisdom, courage, and wherewithal to mitigate the damage must step into the breech, set about freeing the prisoners, begin the triage process, and create space for some measure of recovery. Of course, such heroic exploits assume a fully capable fighting force. That force will have minds and hearts free of distraction, with full attention on the task at hand and on the One Who called them to it.
