Who Am I?

Barry says he never appreciated his Jewish heritage until he came to see Jesus as his Messiah during the Jesus Movement in 1970. He was introduced early on to alternative expressions of church life by spending the next eight years in a Christian Commune. One hundred and twenty people lived as family, sharing expenses on a beautiful eighty acre farm. It was there he learned that Church should be family. The meetings were open. Everyone was free to participate as they shared something God had placed on their hearts. The group also celebrated the Old Testament Festivals such as Passover and Tabernacles.

#2: Theology of Everyday Life

Permalink The "Unjust" Manager, Part 2

The NIV shrewdly renders "unjust" or "corrupt" as "shrewd" when it speaks of the manager. According to that translation, his response is clever or innovative from a business viewpoint.

Hmm. I don't think so. The Message, at least, has the honesty to call him a "crooked" manager. Much closer, this.
