Some News and a Giveaway!

benefit-of-the-doubt1We’ve got some exciting news for you. Starting next month, ReKnew will be sending out a monthly e-newsletter to those who are interested in getting a little something extra from our ministry. We’ll be including a personal video message from Greg in each issue as well as other news and updates. If you’re interested in receiving this from us, all you have to do is give us your email address in the space provided in the lower right hand corner of this page and then confirm your subscription when we send you an email. Easy peasy!

Up until now, if you signed up for our newsletter you received a weekly recap of the posts from ReKnew. Not exactly a newsletter, but kind of handy. Signing up now will get you both the weekly update and the monthly newsletter. If you’re already a subscriber we’ll automatically add you to the monthly newsletter distribution list. You can unsubscribe from either of them at any time. We hope this is something you’ll end up looking forward to each month.

And now for the giveaway! We are going to be drawing five names from new subscribers and sending out five copies of Benefit of the Doubt as a thank you. And for those of you who already subscribed in the past, we’re drawing five names and sending out five copies of the book as a thank you to you! That’s ten free books! We’ll be drawing those names and announcing the winners at the beginning of next month when we launch the newsletter. The deadline to sign up if you’d like to be included in the drawing is June 30th.

So hurry and sign up below! We’re really looking forward to sending you what we hope will be your favorite monthly electronic treat!

Is There Room for Doubt in Faith?

Many Christians today assume that faith is the antithesis of doubt. In this view, a person’s faith is thought to be strong to the extent that they don’t question their beliefs or struggle with God in whom they believe. As widespread as this view is, I believe it is unbiblical and profoundly unhelpful. My experience…

When Our Images of God are Faulty

I’m fleshing out the third proclamation of the ReKnew Manifesto, which challenges us to rethink our conception of God. In the previous post I noted that, since our relationship with God is mediated through our mental picture of him, our image completely determines how we feel about God and what our relationship with him will…

Black Lives Matter, the Police, and Spiritual Warfare

Christ calls us to stand for a different kind of kingdom and this requires that we think in different ways about the violence that is gripping our country.

When Free Will Meets Unfathomable Evil

In the face of tragedy Christians unfortunately tend to recite clichés that attempt to reassure people that, however terrible things seem, everything is unfolding according to God’s mysterious plan. We hear that “God has his reasons”; “God’s ways are not our ways”;  “God is still on his throne”; “God doesn’t make mistakes,” and things of…

Forgiving the Unforgivable

Osheta Moore wrote a courageous and challenging post last week entitled Washing the Feet of the Steubenville Rapists. It’s not an easy read, and if you’re vulnerable to triggers in this area, you might want to exercise caution. But Osheta offers a glimpse of redemption in the darkest of places. Can we move towards forgiveness…
