Are they Jews, Hebrews, or Israelites?

PEOPLE GET TICKED when we tag them with the wrong description. “I am not a secretary. I am an administrative assistant to the president.” They get ticked even when we’re right—when they are a secretary, by any sane definition. Yet they can also be an …

Genesis, plain and simple

DON’T BEAT ME UP for doing this…for messing with the Bible. I do it as a fun devotional, in my spare time. I try to take the Bible’s meaning and wrap it in words that folks outside the Christian faith could easily follow. Those are …

The Bible, on Super Bowl 2014

I DID NOT watch a football game on Sunday evening. I watched a highlight reel, interspersed with a blooper reel. Highlight reel: Seattle Seahawks—the team my son seems irrationally attached to, given that he lives in the middle of the country. Why on …

IT’S THE BIBLE QUESTION OF THE WEEK. It comes from Igal German, who wins a free copy of one of my books for the effort. Igal, email me. Here’s how Igal put it: Why do people struggle to attend their church regularly? Oddly enough, Netflix comes …

Helping someone who doesn’t want it

HOW DO YOU HELP SOMEONE who needs it, but doesn’t want it? I’ve had that going on lately with a couple of people – one relative and one stranger. How about I talk about the stranger, so as not to get in quite as much hot water. I don’t mean to be …

Dead, what do you want to leave behind?

WHEN YOUR CARBON CRUMBLES and your casket lies locked in the dirt, what will be left of you here? I’ve been wondering about that lately. Not that I have plans to crumble anytime soon. But I do have family and friends who are living life fragile these …

Just say no to women preachers?

LET’S CALL THIS A GUEST BLOG. Okay? I normally present both sides of hot potato Bible arguments. Not today. Today I’m gonna role play. I’m gonna write as though I’m a ticked off Christian who believes that a body does not need man parts to …

My painting-the-house experiment

I DID SOMETHING LAST WEEK that I’ve never done before. It seemed risky, and I was a bit afraid of what might happen. I’m painting the inside of my house because professional painters wanted $6,000 to do the job. Actually, that seems fair given that a …

A working grunt’s Bible song

I’M DOING MANUAL LABOR. For the past week or so, during evenings, weekends, and occasional “vacation” days, I’ve been painting the inside of my house. It’s to spruce up the joint before out-of-state family arrives in October for the wedding of my …

For God’s sake, a day in the dirt

I SPENT MY BIRTHDAY morning this past Saturday digging in the dirt at a local school where over 80 percent of the students qualify for free meals. That’s a measure of poverty in our community that no other school can match. Our church has adopted the …
