This weekend Mark Driscoll begins a 10 week preaching series through the Song of Songs at Mars Hill Church—all about sex and marriage.
Not for the feint of heart, Mark’s preaching style has always been raw and honest, and I for one am looking forward to his handling of this fantastic book.
If you want to know what the Bible really has to say about sex—make sure you visit the Peasant Princess website after Sunday and download the podcast.
A quick update—at about 8pm last night my eldest daughter (7 years old) came downstairs sobbing at the thought of leaving her home. I suspect this is the first of many such moments.
I cuddled her for a while and let her cry.
Sometimes as fathers we need to preach the Word to our children. Sometimes we just need to cuddle them and let them cry.
It has been interesting to observe the BBC reporting recently on the issue of evolution versus creationism in the UK. It certainly feels like there has been a conscious decision among humanistic atheists to try and push any notion of a creator God as intellectually ridiculous, and a belief that is actually holding back the collective good of mankind.
Personally, I am not surprised at this. Jesus is, and will always be, a stumbling block to those the world considers wise. I can totally understand how the idea that a carpenter from Nazareth could actually be the God who made this world looks utterly ridiculous. The question is not does it seem intellectually ridiculous, but is it true? In which case it really doesn’t matter if it seems ridiculous or not.
Anyway, if you are interested in the debate here are some articles to read:
