Challies Dot Com | Informing the Reforming The Chronicles of Narnia Why did one find it so hard to feel as one was told one ought to feel about God or about the sufferings of Christ? ... An obligation to feel can freeze feelings... The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven children's books written by C.S. Lewis. The Chronicles[edit] The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950)[edit] For the 2005 movie, see The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know... "By the Lion's Mane, a strange device," said King Peter, "to set a lantern here where the trees cluster so thick about it and so high above it that if it were lit it should give light to no man!

bob.blog A couple of months ago, I participated in a little conference here in PDX, co-sponsored by the Ecclesia Network and North West Church Planters. It was called Rain and Shine, and the point was to draw together, for two days, a group of church planters who would talk about the brightest and darkest moments they had experienced in Church planting. Everyone got 14 minutes to speak. Here's an edited version of what I presented- my highest and lowest moments in being a church planter. Probably like a lot of you, I came to church planting through the route of dissatisfaction and hurt. So, when we planted our church here in Portland about 7 years ago- like you did or will do, we secretly, inwardly held the idea, even if we outwardly disavowed it, that we were going to be the church that got things right. The question in our talks here at Rain and Shine is this: What are the darkest and brightest moments of church planting for you? So what is MY darkest moment in church planting? Amen?

Justin Taylor In 19th century North America, evangelicalism basically referred to a loosely associated, intradenominational coalition of Protestants who held to the basic reformational doctrines of sola fide [faith alone] and sola scriptura [Scripture alone], mediated through the revival experiences of the Great Awakenings. David Bebbington’s evangelical quadrilateral—namely, that the common denominator among evangelicals is the combined belief in biblical authority, cruciformity, conversionism, and evangelism—has value but lacks specificity when applied to the North American experience (instead of just evangelicalism in Great Britain). North American evangelicals not only believed in the Bible’s general authority but also its inerrancy and infallibility. The following are ten key events that took place in the relationship between evangelicals, fundamentalists, modernists, and neo-evangelicals during the 20th century in North America. 1. 2.

8 Tips for Starting a Business YogiTunes co-founder Alex King-Harris shares what it takes to succeed as a new business owner. January 11, 2012 Anyone who has ever started their own business will tell you: It's a lot of hard work. You build it from the ground up, put in countless hours to get it started and extensive efforts to keep it running. It becomes your life. Alex King-Harris is the co-founder of the recently launched YogiTunes, which works a lot like iTunes, but specifically for the yoga community. Instead, yoga instructors were simply creating playlists for their own classes, but were unable to share with one another. YogiTunes offers a feature called the Yoga Teacher Playlist, which is a selection of songs picked by yoga instructors for use in their classes. Although YogiTunes is similar to the concept of iTunes, a platform of providing and sharing music specifically for health purposes had not existed before. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7) Be prepared to make sacrifices. 8) Do what you love to do.
