The Upside Down Economy

Over at WorkingPreacher.org, you can find the first in a series of four commentaries on 1 Corinthians that I’ve written. [UPDATE: Ok, so it's actually the second week. I lost track. First week is here.] This week: how the gospel turns the economy of the world on its head–and what that might mean for those of us who like to think that we can find God within the cultural currents of our day.

We need to be careful, especially when we start flocking to influential leaders like pastors… or bloggers (?!)…

May the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ subvert all our efforts at world domination, turning them into instruments of cruciform service. Amen.

    I hope somewhere you are footnoting Halvor Moxness….
