Comment on Knocking Down the Walls of the Fortress by Tim Keller Quotes « Gospel Centric Thinking

Tim Keller Quotes « Gospel Centric Thinking — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:36:58 +0000

[...] “A frightening proportion of our churches are trapped by what Frank Tillapaugh calls the “fortress church” mentality. That mentality is made up of attitudes that may be conscious or unconscious: “Let them come to us! Our doors are open.” “We come to church to have our needs met, to escape the cold, cruel world.” But there are biblical truths that knock flat the walls of our fortress. Every member is a minister. Every member has kingdom power to destroy strongholds. Through us Jesus continues to immerses himself in the needs of the world.” p 172 (ht: ToddMindBlogger) [...]

[...] Ministries of Mercy “Mercy is a command of God, yet it cannot simply be a response to a demand. It must arise out of heats made generous and gracious by an understanding and experience of God’s mercy. It is the hearts of the congregation that must be melted until they ask, “Where is my neighbor?” p 135 (ht: Toddbumgarner) [...]

Interesting. I do agree with you on a number of issues here. Just wrote something on my blog on evangelism that you might possibly find thought provoking.

Comment on Getting Things Done – Part 4 (My Moleskine Setup) by toddbumgarner

toddbumgarner — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:48:22 +0000

To do projects with this method, I just create another list in the back of the notebook. So if I have a specific project that I’m working on, I’ll simply create separate, dedicated list for that project.

Since I posted this, I have actually transitioned to using an application called Remember the Milk for all things GTD. I make use of the web version, but also use the iPhone app as well. What got cumbersome with the Moleskine method that RTM overcomes is updating weekly priorities, day-by-day priorities, and the transitioning of everything to a new Moleskine when the old one got filled up.

Great stuff — I’ve been looking for a way to implement GTD using Moleskines since I am no longer able to use a computer for an extended amount of time.

I was wondering how you handle projects, though, using this system?

Any ideas? Thanks!

Comment on Fall Classes Firing Up: You Can Learn Too by toddbumgarner

toddbumgarner — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 17:57:45 +0000

martinlutherfan (if that is your real name), with all due respect, the course you are referring to was a course on the history of the orthodox Christian Church. It was was not a course on Apologetics in which the religious cults of the world are addressed. Mormonism happens to be a cult. They do not believe in the Trinity and rather than teach that Jesus was God who became incarnate, they teach that Jesus was a man who became God. There are many other errors in the theology of Mormonism, which, in turn would be contrary to the teachings of Christianity. Whereas Campbell and Stone were not heretics, Joseph Smith was.

PS: Looks like you pasted the same comment on two posts, so I’m copying my response from the other post here for completeness.
