We started Book by Book again. In this week’s video we walked through the entire book of Ruth. Yes, the cover image says Judges. I made the decision to keep this book connected to the book of Judges because we are told in the beginning of the book that these events happened while the JudgesContinue reading “Book by Book: Ruth 1-4”

When the World is on Fire
At the end of every fire is ash and destruction.
So how can we live differently when the world is on fire?
Grace and Fairness
Read the story of Noah this morning. And in the story it says, “Noah found favor in the sight of the LORD.” In the middle of all kinds of human depravity and wickedness, Moses somehow found favor, grace, in God’s sight. When reading stories like Noah’s we tend to put in all the reasons thatContinue reading “Grace and Fairness”
Thoughts on Prometheus
I saw Prometheus on Tuesday. The motivation for the protagonist in the film is to discover where humanity came from. This search leads them to an earthlike planet, where things then go horribly, horribly wrong. The acting was fine, the special effects were amazing, the premise was interesting. Prometheus is one more story that triesContinue reading “Thoughts on Prometheus”
Why Are We So Afraid?
The other day I was thinking about the various things that the Church is crying out against in American society.

Science and Faith
Colbert, Maron, Suffering, Faith, and Comedy.
As I’ve stated before, I’m working on a chapter for my thesis that examines Stephen Colbert and The Colbert Report. I cam across an article from Rolling Stone and Colbert Talked about losing and finding his faith again, and I thought I should share this. So here: Did you ever go through a period whereContinue reading “Colbert, Maron, Suffering, Faith, and Comedy.”
___________ Christian
I have a friend who identifies himself as a reformed Christian. This is a new development in his faith journey, and he is very excited about all the implications of the Gospel, the Sovereignty of God, and all that amazing stuff. There is nothing wrong with the reformed tradition in my understanding of the tradition.Continue reading “___________ Christian”
