By on Friday, December 2nd, 2011 | 3 Comments

A few weeks back, as the Christmas shopping season began, I was jumped by a guy at the mall.  The guy did not have a knife or a gun.  His weapons were a collection of Gospel tracts.  His desire was to make sure I was “SAVED.” “If you were to die tonight, do you know whether or […]

How To Be A Success

By on Thursday, December 1st, 2011 | No Comments

From Bill Coffin: Love, and you are a success whether or not the world thinks so. The highest purpose of Christianity = which is primarily a way of life, not a system of belief – is to love one another. And the firstfruit of love is joy, the joy that represents meaning and fulfillment.

God is NOT in the Religion Business

By on Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 | No Comments

“Christianity is not a religion. Christianity is the proclamation of the end of religion, not of a new religion, or even of the best of all religions. If the cross is the sign of anything, it’s the sign that God has gone out of the religion business and solved all of the world’s problems without […]

Joyless Christianity

By on Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011 | No Comments

More from Bill Coffin: So why are Christians often so joyless? It is, I think, because too often Christians have enough religion to make them miserable. Guilt they know, but not forgiveness. Nietzsche correctly noted: “Christians should look more redeemed!”

The Joy that is of God

By on Sunday, November 20th, 2011 | No Comments

From Bill Coffin, in Credo The joy that is of God is not opposed to earthly pleasures.  Rather it infuses them with a foundation of meaning. Joy is the most important of Christian emotion.  Duty calls only when gratitude fails to pompt. ( Another way of saying this might be:  “Legalism will have reign over […]

What is Faith?

By on Thursday, November 17th, 2011 | No Comments

Bill Coffin, on FAITH – from Credo “What is faith?  Faith is being grasped by the power of love.  Faith is recognizing that what makes God is infinate mercy, not infinate control; not power, but love unending.  Faith is recognizing that if at Christmas Jesus became like us, it was so that we might become […]
