The Lucifer Effect

I stumbled upon this on Guy Kawasaki's blog. . .

The Lucifer Effect

Incredible and captivating experiment about the sin in us all and what each us is capable of. Despite the evidence the author and conductor of the experiment comes to this faulty conclusion when asked this question. . . .

Question: Are people inherently and consistently good or bad?

Answer: I begin my book with John Milton’s classic statement about the power of the human mind, that it is its own place, and can “make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.” I follow with a psychological celebration of the mind’s infinite capacity to make any of us villains or heroes by enabling us to be caring or indifferent, selfless of selfish, creative or destructive.

People are not born evil, but rather with survival talents, and remarkable mental templates to be anything imaginable — just as infants readily learn to speak and understand any of a thousand languages in an instant in their development. We get a push from nature in various directions, such as being more inhibited or bold, but who we become is ultimately a complex process of cultural, historical, religious, economic and political experiences in familial and other institutional settings.

Situational settings only bring out what already lurks inside and what lies beneath. The Bible is clear. "There is none righteous, no not one."

What are your thoughts?

Have you seen what you're capable of?

The degree to which you see your sin and sinfulness, to that degree will you love and get the grace of God in the Gospel.

Jonah 2: Salvation is from the Lord

In this week's message, we continue our study of the book of Jonah, looking at chapter 2. Last week we discovered that the Word of the Lord has come to us as it came to Jonah. We, too, have been sent to a needy, but sinful world. In order to reach that world that God so loves, we must not runaway from that world, but run toward it .. . We must not separate ourselves from the world, but serve it. We must become "signs of the Gospel," men and women overboard, who not only share the Gospel, but show it.

Jonah chapter 2 is Jonah's cry to the Lord from the belly of the fish. Here again we discover that Jonah's story is both the story of Jesus and our story. God, in order to use him, puts Jonah in death to show him his true condition apart from God's grace. The same is true for us. In order to be used, we to must be understand our true condition apart from Gods' grace. The last line of Jonah's prayer is his deep realization and the key realization for anybody who desires to be used by God .. .

Salvation is from the Lord!

Acts 4:23-33: Lifting Up Our Voices in One Accord

This message kicks off our 2006 Week of Prayer here at Grace Church, a week we set apart for the purpose of prayer. Here in Acts we discover in the early church's prayer a pattern for our own prayer. Here we see the Fuel, the Focus, and the Fruit of prayer.

Gabriel's Good News

Christmas is about God breaking in. The Christmas story is the Gospel story. The Christmas story is about ordinary people being caught up into God's extraordinary story. The unfolding of the Christmas narrative shows us both the nature of the Gospel and how to respond to the Gospel.

I Will Build My Church

We live in an individualistic day. We want a relationship with Jesus, but we're not at all sure about the church. We're cynical, suspicious and stand-offish. We so need to hear Jesus' words in Matthew 16:18. . . .

A Remembering, Reforming, Renewing Community

On this Reformation Sunday, we look at the Biblical and historical pattern. . . Remembering leads to reforming, reforming gives rise to renewing. We looked at one example of the pattern in the life and times of Josiah and discovered that needs to be happening personally in us, it needs to be happening corporately among us, it needs to be happening continually and at special, designated times. . .

A Missional Community

This week, Campus Crusade Missionary, Dan Krull, reminds us that a Gospel-centered community is a Missional Community. He reminds us what God is doing in the universe and how we can be involved. Along the way, he shares his own experience in trying to live out the Gospel in his own life for the last ten years in Eastern Europe.

A Humble Community

I've found that 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5 is a passage that I return to again and again as I seek to understand how God works and how the Gospel works. The gospel challenges both religious, moralistic worldviews and irreligious, secular humanist worldviews. The gospel is a third way, God's wisdom and God's power. The more we see Christ humbling himself for me at the cross, the more humble we will become as people and as a church.

A Vision for Family Worship

At Grace, we're committed to both age/stage segregated learning worshipping and learning environments and age integrated worshipping and learning environments. Not either/or, but both/and. We're committed to encouraging and facilitating Family Worship, parents and children worshipping together in our worship services. It's counter-cultural, it's counter-intuitive, but we believe its Biblical, family-strengthening and God-exalting. This sermon explains our vision for Family Worship here at Grace!

Matthew 14:22-36: Walking on the Waves with Jesus

Matthew is all about showing us Jesus, the Servant King. . . what He is like, why we should trust Him. But Matthew also is about how we trust Him, what it means to trust Him through all of life. This passage at the end of the Matthew 14 shows us four of the many stages and seasons of faith. . . .struggling faith, risking faith, doubting faith, worshipping faith in Jesus.

Matthew 14:13-21: The Compassionate King

Peruse the halls of history, examine the offices of business, review the playmakers of politics, explore, even, the spheres of ministry. . . . and you will discover there are basically two styles of leadership, two types of leaders. There are Tyrant Leaders and there are Servant Leaders. Matthew, having just showed us Herod, a tyrant leader, now shows us Jesus, the servant leader, who feels, who involves, who provides. He is a king who can save us, a king who can satisfy.

Matthew 14:1-13: Why Do Bad Things Happen to Godly People?

Jesus has just told this series of exciting, encouraging parables of the kingdom's growth, but now the King's Herald is beheaded! This is what happens to those whom God calls, those whom God uses, those who God approves, those who live by faith? Bad things happen to Godly people. If not today, then yesterday. If not yesterday, then tomorrow. And we've all asked "Why?" This message seeks give Biblical answers!

Selected Proverbs: Tell the Truth

At Grace, we value the institution of the family, because God created it and God uses it.

This year's 2005 Family Conference Keynote Speaker is Dan Haakenson, who presently serves as the Pastor of Spiritual Formation at Valley Church in Vacaville, CA.

Matthew 13:44-46 : The Treasure and The Pearl

What do you value most—perhaps without even realizing it? Jesus shares two short parables about two regular guys going about their business that reveal the value, the cost, the worth and the availability of the Kingdom of God in contrast with all else we treasure. The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl cut right to the chase!

Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43: The Wheat & the Weeds

The folks of Jesus' day expected the Kingdom to come suddenly and explosively. Jesus says the kingdom is more like a seed, than like a bomb. It comes slowly and subtly, but surely. And along the way, the kingdom is mixed-up and messy. This is what the parable of the wheat and the weeds is all about. He/She who has ears, let them hear. . .

Matthew 13:10-17: Why Does Jesus Speak in Parables?

Date: 06.26.05

Teacher: Pastor Tim Theule

Jesus' disciples pull Him aside and ask Him why he speaks in Parables. Jesus' answer is surprising. He doesn't say "because parables are a great teaching tool." He doesn't say "because parables invite people to reflect and help people remember."

So what does He say? Listen and find out!
