Kris and I are in Roseburg Oregon today for worship at Redeemer’s Fellowship. What a wonderful gathering we had last night. I believe I “preached” the longest sermon I’ve ever preached. This view is like the ones we saw on our drive down to Roesburg from Eugene yesterday.

What are the marks of a genuine apology? Many pseudo-apologies are heard land in spaces that condemn the victim, appease the audience, or attach excuses, or try to justify inappropriate behavior. Or say in effect “thanks so much for being honest with me” but the impact of that person’s pseudo-apology is “sorry, buddy, but you got it wrong and I’m right.” Or, each of these. On Monday we take a hard look at the marks of an authentic apology.
Tuesday I will dip into our new book, PIVOT, to talk about churches reshaping and reframing to become places for character transformation (without being coercive, or guilt-trippy). It’s Amazon’s #1 new book in Christian Pastoral Resources.
Wednesday I turn to how in the history of the church Protestants — classic Protestants — have understood good works as they relate to faith and to final redemption.
Thursday — I’m not sure yet.
Should I be encouraged that Scot McKnight isn't sure what he will be doing on Thursday? Or is that wrong of me? Hahaha!!!!!
