With whom would you most like to have dinner?

This morning I was thinking about this question:

If you had the opportunity to have dinner with one person, alive or dead, who would you choose? Why would you make this choice?

There are so many good choices in each category. I think that of anyone that is alive today, I would choose Bono to have dinner with. Bono seems like a person that has depth and conviction and I would come away a better person for the meeting.

With regard to those who have gone before, there are so many good choices from history and the pages of Scripture. One of my favorite characters in the Bible is Micaiah son of Imlah who is found in 1 Kings 22. I like him because he used humor to get his point across to the wicked King Ahab. In that brief encounter recorded in Scripture, I get the impression that he is someone who I would enjoy getting to know.

What about you? Who would you choose? Why that choice? Please take a few minutes to add your answer in the comment section below. For those who are reading this by email, click on the hyperlinked title of this post and you will be taken to the web site where you can enter your comment.

The right to believe anything

We Christians should acknowledge that the church has often gotten it wrong concerning the proper application of tolerance. At times we have deserved the criticism that we are intolerant because of the way we have behaved toward those with whom we disagree.

No Running

The command, “no running” can be inferred from the places where we are told to stand firm. Our job is to stand in spite of difficulties and fear.

How does Christ fill the office of a king?

Question 26 of the Westminster Shorter Catechism asks, “How does Christ fill the office of a king?“ The answer given is, “Christ fills the office of a king in making us his willing subjects, in ruling and defending us, and in restraining and conquering all his and our enemies.” The first thought inspired by this […]

Gutenberg could not have imagined the speed of communication today. The church has the opportunity to use this speed to proclaim the Gospel.
