Yet another tragic theological error of Christian history has been the elevation of penal substitutionary atonement to the level of "the gospel." It's not the gospel: there is no description of euangelion or kerygma in the NT that clearly and directly includes penal substitutionary atonement. ➑️

Me holding a copy of book "God looks like Jesus" by Greg Boyd and Scott Boren

Just received this latest book by Greg Boyd (and Scott Boren) and it's good. Real good. "God Looks like Jesus" is short and concise that argues that God looks... like... Jesus. Entirely. Completely. If you're all, "Yah but whutbout...?" then read this and you'll see.

I dunno, friend! But there’s a Steve Bill presence on BlueSky and I feel that’s pretty special in and of itself.

She needs to listen to @malcolmgladwell.bsky.social β€œRevisionist History” episode β€œThe Joe Rogan Intervention”. In fact, everyone should listen to this.

"There are many differed Jesuses being proclaimed out there.

Make sure your Jesus is the Jesus of the Gospels,

the one who taught that the greatest commandment is to love God by loving one's neighbour as if their needs are our ownβ€”& who then lived what he taught."

What does the CBC even mean? ...to the price of eggs?

Poilievre will likely do what he says he will do- if he wins. Which means we could be days away from the end of the CBC.

The Anti-Social Century Americans are now spending more time alone than ever. It’s changing our personalities, our politics, and even our relationship to reality.

I read that @theatlantic.com article on the #Antisocial Century by @dkthomp.bsky.social (linked in first comment). Holy smokes. As a pastor I felt I had something to offer in response so sent this to my community. It’s almost 10 mins but hopefully worth a watch: youtu.be/kWxngzO_YtQ?...

We voted today. Was good. Small line up but apparently yesterday was super busy. Encouraging.

Craig Cardiff - Safe Here
YouTube video by Craig Cardiff - Music Craig Cardiff - Safe Here

#CraigCardiff's song "Safe Here" is apt for this moment for both Canadians and Americans:
"This is my country, this is your country too
There are so many things we need to change
It'd be too easy to let it overwhelm us
It'd be too easy to let things stay the same"
