Leadership: The Work of All Christians

John H. Armstrong July 11th, 2011

Tweet

My edition of Webster's New World Collegiate Dictionary says a leader is "a person that directs, commands or guides," And leadership is defined as "the position or guidance of a leader, the ability to lead or the leaders of a group." My Webster's New World Thesaurus says synonyms for leader include words such as: guide, precede, steer, pilot, direct, show the way, shepherd.

Heaven, Hell & Rob Bell

John H. Armstrong March 8th, 2011

The evangelical world was rocked a bit last week by a debate created by Rob Bell's forthcoming book, Love Wins (Harper/Collins, 2011). I read the posts attacking the book, written by Reformed writers who speak with deep certitude about everything they seem to talk about in opinion pieces. Some even went so far as to condemn Bell as a heretic. (Where have I heard this before?)

Into the fray came Mark Galli, senior managing editor of Christianity Today. Galli offers … (Read More)
