    Injustice: Hasn’t Christianity been an instrument for oppression? – [Sermon]

    Tim Keller sermons via Gospel in Life: Historically, the gospel has been particularly empowering and compelling to the poor and the oppressed.

  • Absolutism: Don’t we all have to find truth for ourselves? –[Sermon]

    Absolutism: Don’t we all have to find truth for ourselves? –[Sermon]

    Tim Keller sermons via Gospel in Life: In today’s society, absolute truth is thought of to be the enemy of freedom. But truth is more important than you think, freedom is a lot more complex than you think, and Jesus is a lot more liberating than you think. Surrendering to God’s absolute truth gives you a deeper, richer freedom in every area, without oppression.

    Suffering: If God is good, why is there so much evil in the world? [Sermon]

    Tim Keller sermons via Gospel in Life: In the midst of evil and suffering, abandoning your faith will neither help you handle suffering nor understand God.

    Exclusivity: How can there be just one true religion? – [Sermon]

    Tim Keller sermons via Gospel in Life: Religion poses a danger of creating division or intolerance between groups of people. However, the gospel lead us to three things: humble service, reconciling behavior that is neither patronizing nor self-righteous, and a love toward people who hold different beliefs than we do.

  • Til Tjeneste

    Bibelen er fuld at ord om at tjene… Jesus siger selv Han kom for at tjene.

    Men det indikerer jo at der er en ejer/Herre/boss og at det er nogle andre end os selv vi tjener. Faktisk siger bibelen ganske klart at al vores velstand kommer fra Gud, at Han er årsagen til at vi kan erhverve os rigdom, og Det Nye Testamente er endnu klarere på at vi kun er forvaltere og skal investere det vi forvalter – nemlig vores tid, vores talenter (kompetencer, evner) og vores ting (og penge).

    Den første menighed havde “alle ting fælles”, men det kan man vel ikke eller hvad?

  • Partner up!

    Partner up!

    I er mine venner hvis I altså gør det, jeg har befalet jer at gøre, siger Jesus, I samme åndedrag som han siger at han ikke længere vil kalde sine disciple tjenere, men venner.

    Hvordan hænger det sammen. Måske pointen er at vi ved at være venner med Jesus forstår hans hjerte, hans “projekt” og derfor naturligt arbejder med på det – som partnere.

    Ganske vist “junior-partnere”, men partnere, der føler ejerskab og ansvar, der har fået uddelegeret autoritet til at handle “I hans navn”.

    Målet for venner at vi ikke længere gør det vi gør “for Gud”, men “med Gud”. At vi forstår hans projekt, forstår hvad der er vores del og hvad der er hans del, og begynder at agere på Hans vegne.
