Any examination of The Way has to involve relentless acts of social justice. Jesus was so clear on this in what he taught and said, and we see God's heart reflected throughout scripture (2300 verses on the poor and money). He calls those with two coats to give to those who have none; those who gather in the fields to leave some for those who have none; and those who are blessed to be a blessing.

Having defined Hodos, described holiness, and identified worship, we are prepared to begin taking a look at the various markers that give us direction along Hodos. Though few markers are chronological (i.e. we will be presenting them in a sequence, but there is no reason that they need to be practiced in the sequence that we present them), I think this first marker is critical and ought to come

Our study of holiness noted that a significant factor in holiness is worship. Not only is that which is used in worship to God holy, God’s holiness is something that ought to cause us to worship.By the end of this post we will begin looking at the various markers along the path that will help us in our pursuit of holiness. But before we can do that, I think it is important that we take a post to

It is our desire that Hodos will lead to holiness. Just the word ‘Holy’ has such a lack of meaning in our American culture. At best and for most, it probably means little more than a superstitious pronouncement on something spiritually awesome yet unexplainable, or, even more likely, a self-righteousness. It is these misrepresentations of holiness, however, that makes it so scarce in our day. It

I thought that it might be helpful to have summaries every so often that attempt to tie together the various posts that we are making. This, I think, will help to pull together our various thoughts and provide ‘bookmarks,’ if you will, for those who come to the site. The Synergism listings will link to the posts that they are summarizing. In addition, if I haven’t captured something accurately, I

Mark writes in the previous post about the quest for the radical middle - being radical because of what God has done in us - and has jotted down a few areas for being radical and standing apart. I'm going to throw one more idea in the ring - and that idea deals with culture. Of course, the term 'culture' can be a huge and massive concept. Specifically, I think we need to think about the idea of

Phil discusses below the need for a remonking within the body of Christ. As followers of Christ we will indeed stand out, but what will that look like? Many times we do stand out, but is it for the right reasons? Do we stand out because of Christ in us, or because we are being weird? How did Jesus stand out (there is defnitely a "weirdness" that comes from God in my opinion, but also one that we

Christianity Today has an article that discusses whether a Protestant form of monasticism would help or hinder the church. In the article, CT points out that many areas of the church have been infiltrated with the influence of the world. How are Christians distinct today from other people who are not Christians? If we followed the lives of 10 random people for a day, would we be able to pick out
