There is a big event today in Utah.
So who can be the first to let me know who the LDS representative will be for the dialogue?
And do you think these CEO evangelicals are enjoying the beauty of Utah and wondering if they can support a LDS politician for the American Presidency?
Roger Olson is seeking to get to the roots of what kind of evangelical are you? (HT: Greg Linscott)
Btw, LDS friends, what kind of Latter-Day Saint are you?
It bears repeating: All love, all real, life-changing love, is substitutionary sacrifice. You have never loved a broken person, you have never loved a guilty person, you have never loved a hurting person except through substitionary sacrifice.
My friend, Bob, has highlighted two posts recently, which I consider very important as we think of real heart issues in the Corridor. Give them a read.
Is Cultural Conservatism the Same as Theological Conservatism?
1. I tip my hat to Madison High School in Rexburg, Idaho for beating Skyview in overtime, 53-51, and taking the 4A Boys State Championship. Congratulations to coach Bill Hawkins. And good job, guys, for maintaining the pressure against Kyle Dranginis (the all-pro headed to Gonzaga University).
2. And I have been keeping up with BYU, since the action taken against Brandon Davies for violating the Honor Code. The team is holding their own. Fredette and the Cougars secured the top seed in the Mountain West Conference.
Let the Baptists speak up about this. It is one of the core topics of debate in the I-15 Corridor.
Christianity Today reports yesterday on their meeting together – not much of a clear voice on anything, especially on what really matters.
I like what Chuck Colson said about Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly in the latest World magazine (p. 28, Feb. 26, 2011).
LDS apologists, you really ought to pick up this book, Four Views on the Spectrum of Evangelicalism, when it comes out. It would increase your understanding.
And, secondly, I would encourage you all to compose a similar book on views of the spectrum of Mormonism. It would help my understanding. You all are certainly not the same.
“Your doctrine of justification by faith is dangerous, for by eliminating the law you also eliminate a man’s sense of moral responsibility. If a person can be accounted righteous simply by believing that Christ died for him, why then should he bother to keep the law or, for that matter, why should he bother to live by any standard of morality? There is no need to be good. The result of your doctrine is that men will believe in Christ but thereafter do as they desire.”
Do you side with this opinion?
A team of seven from our church family left in a van this morning for Salt Lake City. They will fly to Houston, Texas. Tomorrow morning, they board a Boeing jet, flying to Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
It is a 10-day mission trip in Honduras.
We would appreciate your prayers. My wife, Kristie Ann, and my oldest daughter, Hannah Marie, are a part of the team.
