LATE LAST WEEK I got the email. I can’t say much more about it than what you read in the title of this article. The news is too fresh and too sensitive. But this question comes from a young person who’s sis came out as gay: “What does the …
CUSTODIANS SHOULD RUN THE CHURCH, as I understand the Bible. They are the ones with a bucket of water, a rag, and the heart of a servant willing to get down on hands and knees to clean up the mud, the blood, and the beer. But we give the job to …
DANIEL – OF THE LION’S DEN FAME – was a vegan. In a touch of irony, those lions – well-established carnivores – refused to dine on him when they had a chance (Daniel 6). As though they became temporary vegans too. Daniel was a young Jewish noble …
I’D RATHER NOT recognize some people in heaven, if you know what I mean. Souls that don’t belong there, if what I saw in them is any measure of worth. Souls that probably don’t think I belong there, if what they saw in me is any measure of worth. …

IMAGINE YOUR POLICE MUG SHOT. That’s the look my buddy, Terry, held on his face for about 45 minutes during last Sunday’s Bible study session. It’s the expression of Barney Fife without a bullet. Here’s what happened. Our pastor has been preaching a …
