A Shot Across the Bow: Coming to Terms with Death
Death, like a Victorian era visitor, often sends a calling card to announce its arrival. But death is no gentleman. It sometimes comes silently, like a robber. At other times, it delivers a warning. It fires a shot across the … Continue reading
A Man Called Paul (Wide Angle): Before Saul Became Paul
(Reading Time: approximately 4 minutes.) At the trial of St. Stephen’s trial, Saul of Tarsus must have sat shaking his head. “This heretic! Who does he think he is, lecturing us!” When Stephen accused his peers of resisting the Holy … Continue reading

Hence, the correlate to this claim is also true: “God will never love you less than he does right now.
While these avowals of God’s love are true, they are also incomplete … Continue reading

How to Honor Your Parents

The Kingdom of God: Biblical Theology Class 16
Everyone who read the Bible looks at it through some interpretive lens. The lens of kingdom – provided by the Scriptures themselves – allows us to look at the Scriptures and see truths we might otherwise miss. The kingdom of … Continue reading
