Ron Artest: Love Means Never Having to Say You’re Sorry

…LaShawn has written about the communication gap between Christians and non-Christians, and words and phrases that have different meanings to the two groups. It would be a terrible thing indeed if “I’m sorry” were to become one of those phrases.

Thanks for the scoop! Darnit, I’ll probably get a job in Nashville now, now that I’ve missed BlogNashville!

(I’d have missed it anyhow, most likely – hello, Kentucky Derby!)

The faith blogging points are all good, and it does need to be discussed more. It could be quite the mess though; there are pro-welfare Christians and anti-welfare; anti-military and pro-military; pro-extramarital sex and porn and anti-extramarital sex and porn…there are a lot of different understandings of God’s Word, our place this world, and how we’re able to act. So it isn’t just a political divide – it’s a cultural one within our own ‘house.’

Hi Spunky – Fortunately (for me) I didn’t have a script, and I don’t know if anyone recorded the session. In retrospect, it would’ve been great to record it.

LaShawn is it possible to get a transcript of your talk? This subject is of great interest to me. I don’t necessarily read just Christian bloggers and to be perfectly honest some days it is hard to tell the difference. Which makes me wonder…should there be a difference?

Thanks for thinking out loud about this issue.

Great job, as usual, LaShawn. While I think faith and political parties is one important aspect, I think the cultural war is broader. How should believers live in peace and harmony with those non-believers who are not only sinners, but deny that their actions are sins? Those who commit adultury, those who do NOT keep the Sabbath holy, those who covet the things of the their neighbors, those who take the Lord’s name in vain — all based on claiming the Christian sinfulness of their actions is irrelevant to themselves.

And the big one is sexual promiscuity, fornication. Including homosexual issues (see Ann Althouse on Peggy Noonan, or my recent blog posts about: “Hi, I’m gay” as an intro.)

Included in living in peace with sinners is the very political issue of when should sins be illegal, and punished by the state? And when should NON-sinful actions be punished? And why?

Finally at Belmont for Friday

Later, Rev. Donald Sensing, who was sitting behind me flat out informed people that he did not have time to follow a link. So if you want to send something to One Hand Clapping for his attention then 1)Include …

Senatus populusque blogorum!

After the last panel finished and Glenn Reynolds made his closing remarks, I meandered over to the bar across the street from the Belmont campus and joined another sort of session in progress… Sittting to my right were Sean Hackbarth…

BlogNashville – Faith based blogging

LaShawn Barber moderated the BlogNashville Faith-based blogging discussion group. Blogs within the faith based area of the blogosphere do not speak the same language and that can be a source of negativism even if unintentionally. The use of super-charg…
