HeadTheology

For those who like the fact that with a click of the mouse one can find the gender, number, case, etc. of Greek words in BibleWorks at the library here is a handy website for who want the same thing outside the library without having to fork over more than a few Benjamins.

“Any religion that becomes the religion of the majority and slowly turns into a social habit tends to grow humdrum and flat, regardless of its original glow of enthusiasm.”

Bruce Shelley in his book Church History In Plain Language (p.325) says this of Lutheran Germany in the 17th century but I find the quote quite fitting for what I have seen of the religious South where I have grown up.  It is disappointing to see many friends and acquaintances fall away from their childhood ‘faith’, or at the very least subscribe to a thin veneer of Christianity.  I wish that pastors would preach a strong, big, and just God, who will not be stopped and will crush anyone who does not submit since grace is for only those who bow to him.  Perhaps once God becomes big and man small then  Christianity will become exciting.  No one wants to work for or especially worship someone who they can manage and are merely friends with.
