It seems that in the midst of going about being a Christian it is worth stepping back and reminding ourselves what Christianity is. I find myself repeatedly coming back to the facts of the gospel, that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and the third day he rose again. The entire New Testament is like a reflection on these facts. I also find that coming back to the three Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love help me to know how to live in light of the gospel truths. Perhaps the best moment that brings this all together is the celebration of the Lord's Table. We look back in faith what Christ has done and we look forward in hope to his second coming. Communion takes place at church with other Christians that we are bound up with in the love of Christ.

Professor, School of Bible and Ministry I have been teaching for 25 years and have immensely enjoyed the study, teaching, and the students. Beginning this academic year, I am moving into administration as the Interim Provost. I will continue to teach a few classes each year, but will now also oversee all of the academic activities at PBU. It will be an interesting challenge; one that I am looking forward to. « Jesus on the Sea | Main | The Martian Chronicles » September 1, 2009What is Christianity?Comments (1)William Doolittle:Though being encouraged to "leave the elementary doctrine of Christ" (Heb 6:1), the practice of regrouping ourselves, as it were, around that table and renewing our vision of the cross certainly does seem to be a way to discourage us from falling victim to the opposite extreme, that is, of neglecting that elementary doctrine altogether.
