Once again Roger Olson is blasting inerrancy.  This time he makes the following statement:I vividly recall one sermon by a leading pastor of our little evangelical denomination in which he gave an example of the gospels contradicting themselves.  Nobody blinked.  The contradiction didn’t touch on the gospel or salvation.So according to Olson's views, the Bible is infallible but not inerrant.  In other words, the Bible does h...

Tweet “Leaving the pastorate” is a huge concern at the seminary. The are speeches and sermons and emails and meetings each year designed to help students remain “in the pastorate” for the long haul. Jeremy at “Till He Comes” presents a different view in his post “Leaving the Pastorate.” First, Jeremy recalls his experience in his first “pastorate,” and the events that led to h...

I am a people watcher. I love to observe and try to understand who and what people are about. Sometimes I get more than I bargain for. Last week was such a time. I was studying in a local coffee shop and I saw a family of three enter. The Mom and Dad were in their early 40′s and their son was in his late teens. He was dressed like a typical teenager, baggy basketball shorts, Nike t-shirt, flip flops. He had short hair and earrings in both...

Tweet I’ve invited several people to write “guest blog posts” for this blog. There are several reasons for this: 1) To offer different perspectives. 2) To generate even more discussion and conversation between blogs. 3) To introduce other bloggers to my readers. (If you are interested in writing a guest blog post, please contact me at aknox[at]sebts[dot]com.) Today’s post was written by Doug from “DouglasRea.com”...

Hope you guys had a great Memorial Day weekend. I know we did. The highlight of my weekend was a short, but unforgettable, camping trip with the family. We stepped it up a notch this year and went “primitive” camping. In short, this means you don’t have electricity or water. I know it sounds like complete torture to some of you guys but we love it. While camping I spent an afternoon fly fishing at Burgess Falls with Blake and my...

Mark 10:45 “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Today is Memorial Day here in the US and it serves a great day to remember those who have served both their generation and the generations to come through their heroic defense of freedom. I think it is fitting and good to honor those who have sacrificed for others. As a former veteran I am especially inclined to be passionate...

Hello everyone and welcome back to Deeper Waters where we are diving into the ocean of truth. Yesterday I happened to speak at my church where I was given the task of preaching on 1 Corinthians 13. Within that sermon, I made a point on love not seeking its own. I would like to expand on that point in today’s blog as I continued thinking on it throughout the day. Go to any department store or grocery store and watch children with their paren...

Tweet So, if you’ve been keeping track of my blog, facebook profile, or twitter feed over the last few weeks, then you’ve probably seen posts or updates about zombies. My friend Dan and I started Zombie Theology on Friday the 13th (May 13, 2011), and we have been publishing stories, novel excerpts, and blog posts since then. What is “Zombie Theology”? Well, we describe it as the intersection of the zombie apocal...
