Loved the last two sentences: “That’s why in our Systematic Theology department, we have pastors doing theology, living theology. Most are pastors of local congregations and thus exhibit the desired paradigm: pastor-theologians training pastor-theologians.”

What an inspiring and cheering story about a rags-to-riches millionaire who is now channeling his wealth into the very unglamorous field of mental health care.

Don’t worry, I’m not about to try this next Sunday. But I was still deeply moved and challenged by Greg Lucas’s article about how his autistic son, Jake, not only applied the pastor’s sermon on giving each other a holy kiss, but showed how indispensable each part of the body of Christ is.

    That skyscraper reminds me of a sermon on the righteousness that God requires in which the preacher leaves out Christ.
