Who’s the “Us” God said created us?

IT’S A COMMON QUESTION BUT ODD. This Bible question, which comes from Tom Temple (email me Tom for a free book), is common because a lot of people ask it. But it’s odd because in the question, Tom gives some of the answers scholars suggest. Here’s …

I’m a writer gone to the dogs

IT’S NOT CHRISTIAN to say this. It’s more Hindu, actually. But I’ll say it anyhow. Karma. I’m getting what I deserve. I don’t think it’s because of something wrong that I did in a previous life, as some Hindus and Buddhists might suggest. I’m …

Can Bible experts chew gum and walk?

I TRANSLATE BIBLE EXPERTS into English. That’s how I make my living. These scholar guys and gals are extraordinary thinkers. But they have one flaw, which I find useful. They can’t write. If God told them they had to write a simple sentence to save …

Human suffering: God shoulda known better

IT’S THE BIBLE QUESTION OF THE WEEK. It comes from a hardcore Republican friend of mine, Tom Troyer. We’ve tussled plenty over social and political matters. Why not religious, too? Tom gets a free book for asking the question. Here’s his …

Spirit-filled, are we all “called to ministry”?

A BIBLE VERSE SURPRISED ME. AGAIN. And it made me feel as though I stuck my digital foot in my virtual mouth. Again. In Monday’s blog post I kinda ripped into people who say they are “called by God” to do stuff. Mostly folks who say they are called …

What’s my special purpose?

IT’S THE BIBLE QUESTION OF THE WEEK. It comes from an old friend of mine, Hondo Ayers, who used to teach a Sunday school class I attended. I know him well enough to call him Michael, which is his real name. Michael, you win a free book for asking the …

Singing the Bible, old school

I HAD A SEMINARY PROF who kept his mouth shut during parts of some hymns. He didn’t agree with the theology of the songwriter, so he didn’t sing that part of the song. I do believe the prof was odd that way. Odd because he was thinking about the …

IT’S THE QUESTION OF THE WEEK. It comes from Tommy Hartman, who wins a free book for bothering to ask. Here’s his question: The number 1 question I get all the time from people who question my beliefs is the one I can’t answer. It’s this: “With the …

The Christmas Story…a fresh look

I PARAPHRASE THE BIBLE as part of a new Bible study technique I’ve been trying out. It helps me see the Bible in a different way. I compare a bunch of translations, and I think about how I would try to put the same stories and teachings in my …

Why should ladies wear long hair?

IT’S THE QUESTION OF THE WEEK. It comes from Jessica Pritt, whom I would guess has short hair…or wants to. She starts her question by pointing to a Bible verse: 1 Corinthians 11:6. I’ll give it to you in a moment. Here’s her question: Many people …

My fav Bible app, so far

I WAS BUMMED when the Bible study software I had used for over a decade got bought out by a company that—as far as I was concerned—took the software in the direction of stinky cheese. I was used to that software, and it was important to my writing. I …
