“Many think Jesus came to earth so you and I can have a special kind of spiritual experience and then go merrily along, as long as we pray and read our Bibles and develop intimacy with the unseen God but ignore the others-oriented life of justice and love and peace that Jesus embodied.” ThinkingKindLongI CanEarthSpiritualJesusJusticeSpecialPrayingAnd LoveIntimacyUnseenPeace And LoveSpiritual ExperienceJustice And Love Author:Scot McKnight
“Some think we each have a guardian angel while others think we don't have an assigned guardian angel, while yet others think God at times - but not always and not by assignment to each of us - sends an angel on a mission of guarding. The Bible's evidence that each of us has a specific, assigned guardian angel is not as solid as some think, so I'm with those who think sometimes God sends guardian angels but that we don't have a specific guardian angel.” ThinkingSometimesEvidenceAngelMissionsGuardianAssignmentsGuardian AngelGuarding Author:Scot McKnight
“On politics I strive as much as possible to let my passions be for God and for the Church and for others (the Jesus Creed). I place no confidence in redemption by way of politics. The political hope ebbs and flows every 8 years now; I don't get all riled up if a Republican or a Democrat wins; I don't think it matters that much to what we are called to do on a daily basis.” IfsThinkingWayYearsMatterPoliticalPassionJesusWinningChurchRepublicanFlowBasesDemocratStriveRedemptionCreedsMy PassionEbb And FlowNo Confidence Author:Scot McKnight
