Dead Flies and Perfume

http://dead-flies-and-perfume.blogspot.com/2014/11/ive-been-feeling-spread-bit-thin-lately.html

Dead Flies and Perfume. As a dead fly ruins a whole bottle of perfume, so a little folly outweighs much wisdom. Friday, November 7, 2014. I've been feeling spread a bit thin lately. Doing two part-time ministry jobs. I crunched the numbers, and it made me realise why I'm feeling a bit thin. 5 days a week. 6 different talks/ teaching elements to prepare each week. To present 8 times to 8-10 completely separate groups of people. Total pastoral responsibility for 350 people. But only 50 are stable. Compleme...

Dead Flies and Perfume: November 2013

http://dead-flies-and-perfume.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Dead Flies and Perfume. As a dead fly ruins a whole bottle of perfume, so a little folly outweighs much wisdom. Thursday, November 28, 2013. I sit at my desk. (ie. A table at the local cafe). I have my UBS 3 Greek new testament open. Bruce Metzger's textual commentary. Commentaries from longenecker, Hays, Silva, martyn. A big fat book of Doug Campbell. My laptop is open and receiving notes. My brow is furrowed in thought. Someone taps me on the shoulder. A paishoner. Just taking a break? T Muraoka’...

Dead Flies and Perfume: June 2012

http://dead-flies-and-perfume.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Dead Flies and Perfume. As a dead fly ruins a whole bottle of perfume, so a little folly outweighs much wisdom. Friday, June 29, 2012. Gay marriage talk notes. please comment/tear to bits. Ok, so I've been convinced that we need to do this at church. This are my initial thoughts. Just scribbles, stealing mostly from O'Donovans fulcrum sermon 'Good news for Gays' and Hauerwas' 'Sex in public'. This is true, but not in the way you think. Christians want people to be treated equally. The one gospel is preac...

Dead Flies and Perfume. As a dead fly ruins a whole bottle of perfume, so a little folly outweighs much wisdom. Monday, May 6, 2013. Glenn Davies for Archbishop. You may have missed the launching of two websites that are dedicated to the promotion of Glenn Davies as the next Archbishop of Sydney.

Dead Flies and Perfume: February 2013

http://dead-flies-and-perfume.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Dead Flies and Perfume. As a dead fly ruins a whole bottle of perfume, so a little folly outweighs much wisdom. Tuesday, February 26, 2013. You are not Paul, I am not Timothy. John Dickson has noted with surprise that none of the evangelical critiques of his recent work 'Hearing Her Voice' have really done the work on the text of the Epistles to prove him wrong. I'm not so surprised. Partly because of the way the Pastorals are taught in Sydney. The real offence of John Dickson's argument in 'Hearing Her ...

Dead Flies and Perfume. As a dead fly ruins a whole bottle of perfume, so a little folly outweighs much wisdom. Tuesday, July 24, 2012. The Father's Spirit of Sonship. The Father's Spirit Of Sonship: Reconceiving The Trinity. By Thomas G. Weinandy. My rating: 3 of 5 stars. Weinandy reckons his conception provides a way through the filoque debate. I like the thesis, but I'm not sure the debate will end. Friday, July 20, 2012. A little furor has arisen over at the Gospel Coalition, over Jared Wilsons post.

Dead Flies and Perfume: Fear of verbatim

http://dead-flies-and-perfume.blogspot.com/2014/11/fear-of-verbatim.html

Dead Flies and Perfume. As a dead fly ruins a whole bottle of perfume, so a little folly outweighs much wisdom. Wednesday, November 12, 2014. As part of a pastoral course we were required to do a verbatim. That is, we had to make a record of a pastoral conversation, then bring it in to be scrutinized by or peers. The idea filled me with trepidation, but I couldn't quite tell why. I just figured out why. And then there is the panel of your peers.who assess and judge the situation from outside,. Pauline Ch...

Dead Flies and Perfume: Athletic Preaching

http://dead-flies-and-perfume.blogspot.com/2013/05/athletic-preaching.html

Dead Flies and Perfume. As a dead fly ruins a whole bottle of perfume, so a little folly outweighs much wisdom. Monday, May 20, 2013. What does it take to win in a sport? I want to propose 3 things. 3 A game plan. What about winning preaching? I suspect that much of our preparation to preach is like category 3. A plan for the game day. Sunday looms, and we must find something to say. I suspect the best preachers, however, are putting more time into 1. and 2. Can I speak loud enough for people to hear?

Dead Flies and Perfume: September 2012

http://dead-flies-and-perfume.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

Dead Flies and Perfume. As a dead fly ruins a whole bottle of perfume, so a little folly outweighs much wisdom. Friday, September 28, 2012. You can't read the Bible like any other book? I recently took some holidays. One of the projects I set myself was to re-read my favourite novel, David Foster Wallace's "Infinite Jest". I wanted to get a better grasp on the novel, and test out some theories about what DFW was up to. Has our approach to 'Bible Study' made us people who can't read the Bible. The idea th...
