    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Feb 6, 2011
    based on 15 ratings
     | 13,114 views

    1. Jesus was telling us not to live for the kingdom of the world, but the Kingdom of God. 2. Jesus is saying that we play an important role in the life of the world as salt and light. 3. Jesus was talking about a new way of obedience.

    It is no accident that Jesus talked about us being salt and light immediately after he spoke the Beatitudes. It is in learning how to think as Jesus thought and live as he lived in submissions to God, that we become agents of healing and light in the world. It is when we live as people who do not ...read more

    The Weakness Of God

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on May 27, 2009
    based on 19 ratings
     | 8,026 views

    The current church seems so obsessed with the power of God. What kind of power is it? Is it after all a power that comes from weakness?

    It has been my habit for many years to read through the Bible each year. As I continue this practice I am increasingly amazed at how absurd God’s plan for the world and his kingdom is — that is, in human terms. God seems to delight in abuse and rejection, for he receives plenty of it. He seems, ...read more

    There is a rumor going around that no one seems able to stop.

    There is a rumor going around that no one seems able to stop. In spite of the many people who have tried to stop the rumor, and offer evidence against it, it seems to be growing. The rumor is incredible, but in spite of that there are a great many who accept it as true. It actually started ...read more

    based on 28 ratings
     | 18,091 views

    We have adapted the Christian life to the culture. We want it hot, easy, quick and effortless.

    The American people expect everything fast, easy and cheap. And we often treat the Christian life like that. We want it to be like a McDonald’s drive through — drive up to the window, get what you want and drive off. Have you noticed all the ads that tell us about the products ...read more

    based on 17 ratings
     | 33,213 views

    I can remember as a boy riding with my Dad into the downtown area, in my hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana, and seeing a crowd of men standing on a certain street.

    The Will To Believe

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Sep 25, 2011
    based on 8 ratings
     | 16,065 views

    Faith is a decision, and a more reasonable decision than unbelief.

    An exegesis of the parable of the King who gave a wedding banquet for his son and people refused the invitation.

    The parable at which we are looking today comes after a series of confrontations Jesus has had with the Pharisees — the religious leaders of the day. They question whether he has the right to do the things he does and by what authority he speaks. They do not want to be a part of his ...read more
