is to write and publish a book about God's extravagant grace.
THE PROCESS
1. Post draft articles on this BlogSite for those who love me to commend, criticise and/or correct what I have written. (Others who may not love me might stumble onto the BlogSite through Google, hence the need for me to ask for comments to be contributed with grace.)
2. Use the edited, finalised articles to create the pages of a website, eventually to be displayed at www.gracespace.net.au/ and currently hidden away under construction at http://users.ncable.net.au/~barrytatt/.
3. Use the website as the major resource material for the book to be published which will celebrate God's extravagant grace, and possibly be titled "The Good Good News."
Any way you would like to contribute to this project will be appreciated and help spread the good good news that the God we love and serve is indeed extravagantly gracious.
I will post an updated version of this post every few months for the benefit of those most recently invited to participate and to keep everyone abreast of the progress being made.
After we have a sufficient number of articles posted on the BlogSite, we might try to hook up for a conference call on SKYPE once in a while. Does anyone know the bandwidth required per person for conference calls on SKYPE?
Blessings, Barry
All good Barry. I'll see you tonight at 8:30.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Rog.
Hi Barry,
ReplyDeleteYou posted the following to me under this heading, but I can't find it:
"Just had another thought re the first 2 views. Since most people (Christians) hold one of these views, then most Christians believe that those who God does not choose (1st view) or those who don't choose God (2nd view) end up in hell forever. That is his will. I wonder how these people pray to this God? Do they pray for their "lost" sister or brother or husband or child and finish up the prayer with "Your will be done" ?
They probably don't think that through and see whay they are praying for.
Just a thought. Barry"
I do like this Barry. It is quite a powerful argument - Jesus did pray "Thy will be done", so there has to be a hierarchy of will here. Rog
Hi Rog
ReplyDeleteI originally posted this under the wrong article, "The Good Good News Project". So I scrubbed it and re-posted it under "The Third View", where it should have gone in the first place.
You should find it there.
And, of course, Blogger sent you an email re the original posting. Sorry for the confusion.
Barry
