I found this while working on a Sunday school lesson. It’s pretty creative.

“That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown”
During the hustle and bustle of our culture’s commercialization of Christmas, don’t forget “the reason for the season.”
America’s Foundation, Political Science, and the Christian Worldview
There are several areas of theology about which I find myself thinking on a consistent basis. One of those topics is the integration and relationship between the Christian worldview and political-economic science. (This probably isn’t terribly surprising given the fact that I entered college as a social studies major.) Lately, I have found myself thinking about these issues again… and on a frequent basis as well. This has much to do with some recent studying I’ve been doing on Dietrich Bonhoeffer. His views on government and the Christian’s relationship to government has sparked this internal conversation ablaze within me once again. …Well, some of these thoughts will now be spilling out in this post.
D.A. Carson on Hebrews
Each of the following videos is one lecture on the book of Hebrews from Dr. Carson’s Spring 2013 “Acts, Pauline, and General Epistles,” a required MDiv course taught at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Enjoy!
Fear, God, and Delight–An Unexpected Combo?
Jumbo shrimp, airline food, just war, Microsoft Works, or my personal favorite, country music 🙂 — All of these might fall under a category titled oxymorons–a figure of speech containing self-contradicting components. Likewise, some individuals might also consider Nehemiah’s description of God’s servants in Nehemiah 1:11 as an equally oxymoronic phrase–those “who delight to fear” God’s name. …Give those words a second glance… “who delight to fear your name.” There’s so much in this phrase that runs contrary to our common conceptions. Most obviously, many of us would never pair fear and delight as companions, let alone a fear of God.
