Finding Judgey McJudgerson: A Comic Tragedy
It is both tragic and comic when it happens. I fear we miss the tragedy in the comedy. Person A makes an observation that Person B has done something wrong. Lied, or cheated, or some such. Person B offers as … Continue reading

Christians Oddly Obsessed With Homosexuality?
Really? I’m not sure such is true anymore. Some, to be sure. Many professing Christians, however, are joining the world in embracing a love and let love ethic. Given the choice between being culturally marginalized or marginalizing the Bible, too … Continue reading
