I am currently working on the fifth installment of the Theological Reflections on Home Ownership series. In the meantime, I offer some links to other thinkers dealing with some of the issues we’ve encountered.

Todd Hiestand has posted a paper, “The Gospel and the God Forsaken: The Challenge of the Missional Church in Suburbia.”

Scot McKnight has a post encapsulating a talk he gave in Seattle regarding “mistakes missional gospel folks need to avoid.” Two of his points I think is worth considering in this discussion of home:

4. Avoid defining sin as merely guilt for offending law; sin is rebellion against God manifested in four directions — against God, self, others, and the external world.

7. Avoid resolving the problem in one direction — with God — instead of resolving the problem in all four directions.
