theological reflections by Shannon & Dee Mimbs
From the category archives:
While talking with a friend a few days ago, something struck me as “blog-worthy.” We were discussing some reading that I did recently on the subject of Bermuda grass, which is planted in our yard in Cleveland. Dee and I recently met the guy who installed the sprinkler system in the yard. He came by [...]

Thanks Sonny and Mike for their comments on the previous post (Is God a Capitalist?). My response was a bit lengthy, so I’ve made it into another post. May the conversation continue… I too think that many are blinded by the inwardly focused, “us vs. them” mentality which finds ample sustenance in capitalism. Granted, there [...]

I was talking with a friend recently about issues of denominations, interdenominational fellowships, non-denominational congregations and the like. We were discussing the benefits and possible detriments of each. This conversation took place on the heels of a project that I’ve been working on in 1 and 2 Corinthians. Throughout the Corinthian correspondence, the author, Paul, [...]

Sure enough, I’m allergic to nearly everything that is out and about for the next month or so (living in Pollen, AL). Got some nose spray, antibiotics, antihistamine/decongestant and a steroid shot.

Sonny brought out a good point concerning the transition that occurred in the church’s identity during and after the time of Constantine. For those who are [...]

I’ve been doing some soul-searchin’ of late, particularly concerning the lordship of Jesus. I’m sure you’ve heard ministers admonish men, women, boys and girls “just to receive Jesus into your heart” or “all you have to do is believe in Jesus.” My question is whether our neatly encapsulated message is the proper way to go [...]

Our church is undergoing a pastoral change this month. Our current pastor is retiring (after almost 9 years at this particular church). So this past week, we interviewed three candidates for the position of lead pastor. One thing is for sure; this process has definitely been a learning one for Dee and myself. This is [...]

Shannon and I have been out of town for about a week and a half. I had a math conference in Gainesville, Florida for a few days. On our way back to Ga, we visited some friends in Valdosta (Jason, Candy and Joshua). Then, we went to visit our families in Vidalia, GA while Shannon [...]
