I HAVE A NEIGHBOR with a troubled son about to turn 18. Strangest thing. The boy’s dad, who’s a wonderful neighbor, told me the judicial system gave up on his boy. The youngster was on probation for drug possession. He also had some problems with a …
WHEN GOD MADE A DEAL with Abraham—some call it a contract or a covenant— he didn’t ask Abraham to sign on the dotted line. He asked him to cut on the dotted line. And that leads to the Bible question of the week, coming from Robert Lee, who wins a …
NEXT TIME YOUR PASTOR SAYS God expects you to give 10% of your income to the church, roll your eyes if you must. But try not to be too obvious. The pastor might not know any better. That’s pretty much the take of church history profs. They know that …
Here’s a sneak peek excerpt of my April 15 release: 100 Tough Questions About God and the Bible. What follows is Question #1 of 100. You can read the first two questions in a flip book the publisher graciously allowed me to post on my website. …

ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE I get an email from someone with a message that I know I’ll remember for a long time. I got a kind email a few days ago from a lady named Jennifer Gall, who gave me permission to let you read what she said. It’s going to sound …
I GET ODD QUESTIONS about the Bible from time to time. Like this one from Jean Yargovan, who wins a free book of mine for taking the time to send the weird question my way. It’s the Bible Question of the Week, my Monday feature. “On Sunday at church …
