Gone to New York

Posted by D. Goodmanson on Sep 30, 2005 in Church | 1 comment

My blog will be on vacation until October 7th. I’m taking my wife to New York for our sixth anniversary. If anything should happen to us, David Fairchild is raising my kid so keep him on the straight & narrow! If you want to get new blog posts, go to Fairchild’s blog because he’ll be posting ideas he has about a book he is writing that the church needs to read! Ask him about it….

I won’t access email while I’m gone, so this will be a good test of how technagoraphibic I am.

Our system doesn’t work if we are a people without moral standards that God approves.” Baker said he believes our country has drifted from an adherence to God’s moral code. “Just look at the looting after Katrina. I’m not talking about the people who took for survival, but people who stole for personal gain. This speaks a lot about the heart of the people. Our nation needs to evaluate where our heart is at. If you look at the history of mankind, Rome, the Greeks, and all other empires ceased to exist when they began to fall into perversion and corruption.” Pastor Baker believes this is where America could go to, if things aren’t changed. Baker suggested people listen to a sermon he gave on July 4, where he presented quotes from America’s founding fathers and their allegiance to God. “Ultimately, though, our [church's] emphasis is on moral issues, not political influence.”

The Drama of Scripture

Posted by D. Goodmanson on Sep 27, 2005 in Church, Teaching | 2 comments

The Drama of Scripture is a book many of our leaders will be reading through. Again, many ‘theological’ students can box scripture into systematics. This is a great book to remind us that we are part of a grand story that begins and ends with God.
