“Don’t buy the “deeds not creeds” mantra.”

I’ll be interested in following this line of thinking.

Don’t buy the “deeds not creeds” mantra. Truth matters. God does not get glory by our being uncertain and ambiguous about who he is, what he has done, and why is supremely valuable. God gets glory when we lovingly and truthfully declare theological, propositional truths about his internal excellencies, his saving work, and the weight of his glory.

We Share Responsibility for Coach Tressel’s Fall

 

Answer the Call

So what do we do? How do we love coaches and other Christian celebrities rightly? Paul writes in Ephesians 4 that we preserve the sanctity of the body of Christ by speaking the truth in love, “so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ” (Eph. 4:14-15). He continues, “Having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another” (Eph. 4:25). God has given a number of us personal relationships with these limelight Christian figures. Much like Daniel, Joseph, and Esther, we are afforded these relationships to clearly point these prominent figures towards God’s goodness and righteousness.
