Insanely Simple: TWO

March 7, 2012 By Erik DiVietro 2 Comments

There are only two kinds of people in the world: Those headed toward God Those headed away from Him. We try to divide the world into denominations and religions, but in reality there are just two kinds of people. God calls to ALL MEN, and salvation is sufficient for all, but not all will come to Him.… Read More »

Resurrecting Churches

March 7, 2012 By Erik DiVietro 2 Comments

I have to say that I really enjoy reading Kurt Willems’ blog over at Pangea. I have been reading it for the past couple of weeks and while I don’t necessarily agree with his perspective on some things, he gives you something to talk about. Reasons for Planting Churches Kurt is an Anabaptist and currently… Read More »

Insanely Simple: ONE

March 6, 2012 By Erik DiVietro 2 Comments

ONE Things don’t get much simpler than that. God is ONE. Theologians want to make God ultra-complex. They spend years trying to figure God out, to fit him in a philosophical box. But God is ONE. That is the ultimate simplicity, and the beginning of our journey toward simplicity. The answer to our big theological… Read More »

Insanely Simple

March 5, 2012 By Erik DiVietro Leave a Comment

I am going to be running a review of the upcoming book Insanely Simple by Ken Segall (look for the review in April), and reading the manuscript got me thinking a lot about our approach to the work of the church. Our modern age, on the coattails of the medieval one, has a pension for complicating things.… Read More »

The Beautiful Wife

March 2, 2012 By Erik DiVietro 1 Comment

The Palace of Susa The book of Esther gives us a glimpse into the palaces of Susa, the residence of the Kshatriya Kshatriyanamah – the King of Kings. As I mentioned in my previous post, the Persian empire was organized in such a way that regional governors were often the legitimate kings and rulers of… Read More »

Ahasuerus, Ahasuwho?

February 29, 2012 By Erik DiVietro 1 Comment

This morning, I thought I would follow up with some posts about the book of Esther, beginning with the king Ahasuerus who figures so prominently in the story. The name Ahasuerus appears in only two places outside of the book of Esther, and it is completely absent from contemporary history. This is surprising because of… Read More »

How Do You Read the Book of Esther?

February 28, 2012 By Erik DiVietro Leave a Comment

On Tuesday mornings, there is a ladies’ Bible study that meets in the teen center – right next to my office. Most Tuesdays, I don’t get into my office until later in the day, but this week I was there because I had a hospital visit that got pushed up. I had a chance to… Read More »
