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 …
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 …
NOT ALL OF MY BOOKS are bestsellers. Some have not sold very well at all. In fact, my favorite book so far – the one I enjoyed writing more than any other, and the one I think is the best book I’ve ever written – crashed and burned. Relatively …
IS IT MURDER to blow the head off an enemy soldier? Or what about executing a prisoner of war captured in the heat of battle – executed because you don’t have enough soldiers to guard him? That’s the Bible Question of the Week. It comes from Tommy …
