Re: that time my son reminded me how God is in control

There's a reason we named him Samuel. We've felt that way even from the very begining of the pregnancy.

That's the thing about parenting, we do what we can. Some days we hit the mark and other days we miss it completely. We've all done it. In the end all we know is results are totally in God's hands and plans. But, your guy, I see God size fingerprints all over him.

Thank you! He's always had a huge heart... especially when it comes to orphans. I'm definitely a #prouddad! Blessings to you too!

Oh my gosh... he's a great kids, and I have no doubt that God has a BIG plan for him! Thanks for the encouragement on our parenting. We try to do everything we can, and feel like some days we hit it and other days we TOTALLY miss it. But that's the point I wanted to try to communicate here... we do the best we can, and in the end... it's paying off... he gets it! #fistbump

I told him that he is one of the main reasons we felt like we could say yes to this opportunity. He's been such a great big brother to his little sister, which made us feel like he would be great about how he handled any other new kids coming into our home. I'm just so proud of him.

Re: gravity waves, the big bang, and my unshakable faith

Dan King — Mon, 28 Jul 2014 11:12:23 -0000

Totally agree! Especially what you say about the purpose of that revelation at the end... to lead us to worship.That's good, and spot on! #fistbump

Re: gravity waves, the big bang, and my unshakable faith

Dan King — Mon, 28 Jul 2014 11:10:43 -0000

Thanks, Soren. Personally, I prefer the term inerrant... because perfection seems to be more like a standard that we strive for, and I don't believe God has to strive for it. God's Word is inerrant, meaning it's not capable of error. But I don't know if the Bible answers EVERY question. For example, it doesn't specifically say anything about abortion.... you won't find that word anywhere. So it's up to us to apply the principles about what the Bible teaches us about valuing life to a situation like abortion. It's the same thing with some of these recent science discoveries.

Dan - I appreciate your thoughtful and humble tone...

Re: "science is merely observing and reporting on what they see in the known, physical Universe"

"[W]hat may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse."

Romans 1:19-20

What science is "merely observing and reporting" is nothing short of the Glory of God! Christians should be very careful, humble and reverent—not so much toward the scientist as toward the nature of creation being revealed. Nothing scientists "discover" comes as a surprise to God; and to the degree that nature may be misunderstood or misinterpreted by science, further exploration will assuredly bring clarification, as it has for centuries.

And every bit of it, of the revelation of God's Glory through creation, is intended by God to lead us to worship!

Soren Kuns — Sun, 20 Jul 2014 00:54:46 -0000

God is perfect. If God wrote the Bible then it must also be perfect. In order for it to be perfect it was written TO EVERYONE and FOR EVERYONE. The bible tells us what to do in every situation therefore it doesn't matter the place or time because it is perfect.

You have no idea how much this blesses me, Darlene! It's exciting for me to know that I've been a part of God working in your life. That was my prayer as I wrote my chapters for this book... that God would somehow use what He's putting on my heart to stir other people to do something. Your story is a perfect example of an answered prayer.

For me and my family, after this book, we were convicted to do one thing -- and that that one thing was very multifaceted and overwhelming -- but, God. We had erroneously thought would lead to the next thing. But, it didn't. And that's okay. We listened to God, acted out of obedience, and realized, much like you said above, that it can (& is) overwhelming to think one person can do it all. I cannot save the world. I cannot save any single person. But, God can.

Obedient duty to live love aloud through actions and words is a privilege - always - because it demonstrates our thankfulness for what He's done for us.

Thanks to you, coach Dude, and the other authors, for this book.

Blessings.

Re: who attends your church?

Re: how to do social justice while you work

Dan King — Fri, 30 May 2014 12:40:45 -0000

that's awesome marcus! i think a big part of this whole idea is with being intentional about the well-being of other people around us. if we're honest, we all have some kind of crap in our lives, and need people to encourage us. Jesus said this is how the world would know us... by the love we have for each other.

and thanks for the high praise on this post! #fistbump

Shamgar is needed today in America. His example of an unstoppable force for justice is absent in our nation.

I'm reading this book for the 3rd time in 2 years. It's incredible. Being a big fan of Five Iron Frenzy, I've always wanted to hear about this Scum church they helped create. The day after their Kickstarter show (and driving from Toronto to Denver to see it) I went to Scum and met Mike. What a very authentic, kind, gentle soul. His love for the Lord and others leaps off of the pages.

Dan King — Mon, 05 May 2014 19:10:53 -0000

thanks! you nailed it! they answer different questions, and aren't really in conflict. i couldn't imagine reading the Bible in science class, but if I go down that road, science has even identified some pretty uncanny wisdom recorded in Bible times... like food restrictions that protect people from diseases that we can only know about with modern technologies that see microscopic qualities... things they couldn't have known...
