God’s goodness and grace in all of it? By his grace, he will continue to move mightily through the Wesleyan tradition, and in particular through the Global Methodist Church, of which I am proudly a part. Thanks be to God.

This project has been a dream of mine for years and now it's a dream come true. Can't believe this exists and is out there now.

What a gift!

[Dale Tedder @rdale_tedder]

His life for ours. There is no greater love than this. Our response is to turn to him, love him, trust him, and follow him. And when we consider all he’s done for us, how could we do otherwise?

[Athenaeum Book Club @athenaeumbc]

St. Augustine argues that without justice, an empire is ultimately no different from a large-scale criminal organization:

“Remove justice, and what are kingdoms but gangs of criminals on a large scale? What are criminal gangs themselves but petty kingdoms? A gang is a group of men under the command of a leader, bound together by a compact of association, in which the plunder is divided according to an agreed convention. If this villainy is enlarged by the accession of abandoned men to such a size that it acquires territory, establishes a base, captures cities and subdues peoples, it then openly arrogates to itself the title of kingdom, which is conferred on it in the eyes of the world, not by the renouncing of aggression but by the attainment of impunity.”

Well huh. This is interesting.

@dfwatson3 How is this even considered a sermon? He’s spending a lot of time trying (albeit poorly) to dismantle the basic tenets of the orthodox faith while simultaneously demonstrating that he doesn’t fully grasp their implications. This is painful because he hasn’t thought it through.

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,  (Titus 2:11–12, ESV)

[David F. Watson @dfwatson3]

Every era has its heresies. This is one of ours. It has been extremely common—though by no means universal—in the mainline traditions. But if we look at this along the lines of Gnosticism, Arianism, or Nestorianism, it helps to make sense of it. We have to confront false teaching and teachers and insist on the faith once and for all entrusted to the saints.

Is evangelism capable of addressing the burdens of a broken world? In this timely @goodnewsmag article, Leighton Ford answers with a resounding yes, insisting that Christ’s lordship brings eternal life, personal transformation, and a renewed responsibility toward others. https://t.co/zk5Q0pZcel

What role do doctrinal standards actually play in the life of the church?

In this new episode of the Theology Project Podcast, I sit down with Dr. @JoelChopp to discuss the proposed Articles of Faith before the Global Methodist Church’s upcoming General Conference.

We explore questions like:

• What are doctrinal standards?
• Who are they for?
• Why isn’t every article distinctly Wesleyan?
• What can Methodists learn from other Protestant traditions?
• How do doctrinal standards function as guardrails for the church?

Whether you’re a pastor, church leader, seminary student, or simply interested in Wesleyan theology, I think you’ll find this conversation worthwhile.

There’s a particular prayer that almost scares me to death every time I pray it. “Lord, give me patience.” …I know God usually answers that prayer by giving me “character building opportunity” to practice patience.
