I’M TRYING OUT a weekly book giveaway. And I’m going to link it to the brain. Every week I’ll invite you to send me questions about the Bible, God, and the Christian faith. On Fridays, I’ll pick the Question of the Week. I’ll look for questions …
I JUST GOT HOME from seeing “The Hobbit” with my son. There’s an inspiring line in the movie—as there should be, since the sucker runs nearly three hours. This particular line has been getting some attention. I first heard it quoted by my pastor. …
I KNOW that the title of this post sounds odd. But it’s true. I found out about it on Christmas Eve—the perfect night to hear the news. The church I attend has multiple locations throughout the Greater Kansas City area: Church of the Resurrection. We …
MERRY CHRISTMAS. And may your New Year be a Great Year…and a fresh start if that’s what you could use right about now. I’ll be taking a holiday from blogging. Back at you in 2013, good Lord willing. In the meantime, do something …
THIS IS NOT a product placement blog. Unless, of course, Wendy’s or Googie Burger would like to buy some ad space. With Christmas almost here, I’ve been thinking about how Jesus might want me to celebrate his birthday. I know. Christmas is probably …

TODAY I’M READING. I’ve got a tough topic to write about. Homosexuality and the Christian faith. I’ll read what the Bible says about homosexuality—a word some in the gay Christian community says wasn’t around in Bible times and wasn’t invented until …
MY WIFE BROUGHT HOME A DOG. She was driving to work and she saw it get hit by two cars. Tagless the year-old black lab pup was suddenly broke and homeless. Three drivers stopped, including my wife, who’s a nurse and a caregiver by nature. Two men …
WHERE CAN the shooter’s family and friends turn for support? I’ve been wondering this. Shooters, bombers, and other mega-killers leave behind family and friends who loved them in spite of the sickness or perhaps the darkness within them. If we’re a …
PICTURE GOD as he: sits on a cloud watches a shooter kill kindergarten children does nothing about it. Who wants to worship a god like that? Heck, who wants to give him a capital G? Anyone in heaven or on earth who has the power to stop the shooter …
IT WAS TOO MUCH FUN in an earlier blog tracking the quotes of TV’s Deputy Barney Fife with the Bible, looking for connections as well as push back. I thought I’d step it up a decade or two, looking for the same from Star Trek. Some interactions …
THERE ARE NOTHING BUT GUESSES about what exactly led the wise men to Bethlehem. Clues in the Bible: It pointed toward Israel. The star led them initially to the capital of the Jewish homeland, not to Bethlehem: “Some wise men from eastern lands …
