Duty and Desire

"Be fruitful and multiply".  This is the command given to the man and the woman in the garden and recently I was reading through a book that said that this is the best reason we should have children, because God commands us to.  I read this and it just rubbed me the wrong way.  I've been trying to discern whether it is because I just don't like being told what to do (especially since it begins with something called "labor") or is there something else?

Challenging Oprah

Recently Oprah interviewed Ted Haggard and his wife Gayle. You may remember that Ted, a charismatic pastor of the megachurch he built and head of the National Association of Evangelicals, was outed in 2006 for same-sex immorality. Ted has come a long way in terms of facing his fleshly "inner demons," but I thought he still skirted around a number of issues. (See former pro-gay spokesman Joe Dallas' excellent blog on what he wished Ted would have said.)

Now What? Then What?

I've been asking two questions of myself, and of other people, lately.

"Then what?"

"Now what?"

For me, these two questions get at the heart of ministry, evangelism, and growth in Christ. These questions push past the easy answers and reveal the processes that effect change, sanctify, and propel us towards a deeper love for, and faith in, God.
