Favorite Quotes
- ***"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." (C. S. Lewis)
- ***"Our churches have turned into theaters and our preachers have turned into witty motivational speakers with high entertainment value," (Thomas G. Long)
- **Too often, Preachers think that they have to make the Gospel more interesting to the world instead of allowing an already interesting and powerful Gospel go about remaking the world. Can preaching once again be revived to its proper end? (William Willimon)
- **Habit is habit, and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs one step at a time. (Mark Twain)
- **The fundamental problem with most of us is not deficient self-esteem but inadequate divine-esteem. (Daniel Block)
- **If my sermon becomes another product that makes you feel a little less miserable this week, then that, it seems to me, is a little less than the gospel. (William Willimon)

Just noticed Childs on your reading list. Did you hear that he passed away in the last couple weeks? By the way, nice new look :)
Matt, yes I knew about Child's death. I read your blog regularly even though I don't always comment on your posts. I've had this book by Childs for a while and thought I would finally read it and do a review on it. I like Childs's thinking about focusing on the final form of the text for our context and exegesis. I think he's on to something. Anyway, I was hoping to understand his theory a little better by reading this shorter version of his theory however, I found it as dense and difficult to read as his larger works. I still plan on a review and also plan to link your post (since it has some good links to other sites that talk about Childs and his work) in the review.
