With whom would you most like to have dinner?

Posted on June 29, 2015 Written by Mark McIntyre 6 Comments


Question MarkThis 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.

On the difference between a hireling and a shepherd

In John 10:12–13 Jesus is quoted as saying the following about the difference between a hired hand and a shepherd: “The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The […]

Holly Ordway on obedience

“I learned that obedience also means trust that His will is best, whether I understand it or not, and that the One who had made Himself known to me will not ever forsake or betray me.”

What is the gospel?

As I thought about this, I thought that I should use my Bible software to do a search of the word gospel in the New Testament to see how the gospel is described. Here is a list of things that I learned about the gospel from looking over the list along with a reference to where I found it. The list is not exhaustive; some of these appear in multiple places and I only list the reference to the first mention.

Ropes Challenge

On the ropes . . . intentionally

Our family went to the Poconos to take on the challenge of a ropes course. I didn’t know what I was in for but it was fun. Is the ropes challenge a fitting metaphor for life?

2nd Place

Second place is first winner

In leading the church, we need to understand that second place is first winner when we surrender to Christ and allow him to build his church. We win because Jesus can make something more beautiful than we can even imagine.
