By on Saturday, November 16th, 2013 | No Comments

In the last several post, we have explored the challenging questions Jesus face from the Pharisees, Scribes, and Sadducees – all recorded in Luke 20.  “Who gave you the authority to do what you are doing?”  “Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar?”  “If a man marries a woman and dies, and his six […]

About Paying Your Taxes

By on Tuesday, November 12th, 2013 | 2 Comments

What are imitation rhinestones? What do batteries run on? What do chickens think we taste like? What do penguins wear for play clothes? What do people in China call their good plates? What do sheep count when they can’t get to sleep? What do they call a French kiss in France? A teacher trying to […]

Question: “Who Gave You The Right…?”

By on Tuesday, November 12th, 2013 | 3 Comments

Here are some more “stupid questions” If you mated a bull dog and a shitsu, would it be called a bulls***? Why is Grape Nuts cereal called that, when it contains neither grapes, nor nuts? If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him? Why is it called a […]

You are dead…

By on Thursday, November 7th, 2013 | No Comments

We are dead and our lives are hid with Christ in God. Dead. Out of the causal nexus for good. Dead. Not on trial. Dead. Out of the judicial process altogether. Not indicted, not prosecuted, not bound over, not found guilty. Just dead. And the lovely thing of it is that we were dead even […]

Papa

I got into a conversation with a young entrepreneurial mom at a local bookstore.  She spoke with me about some of the reasons she did not believe in God.  I think I surprised her by agreeing with her reasons for rejecting a belief in god – at least her concept of god.  Heck, I agree […]

“God Is Love” is the center stage of theology

By on Friday, October 25th, 2013 | No Comments

“Western theology has had a difficult time placing “God is love” (1 Jn 4:8) at the center stage when discussing the divine attributes. Instead, it emphasizes the more abstract and impersonal attributes of omnipotence and omniscience. In my opinion this results from the failure to place the discussion of the divine nature under the category […]
