This is what I looked like when I came out of Seminary in 1975 & served the Wolf Lake United Methodist Church in the Muskegon, Michigan area. Young, very skinny, brash and foolish. (But no more foolish than now.)

The Gospel of Jesus Christ (in this view) does not initiate a new faith-based tyranny — it is, in fact the basis for freedom from all human tyrannies — be they political or personal. ko-fi.com/Post/The-Gos...

I keep hoping people will stop using the word “literal” to describe the Bible — as in: “take the Bible literally” “literal interpretation of the Bible” and so forth. It’s never going to happen, but I keep hoping. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Question: What do we do with the fact that there have been billions of people who died before Christ came to be among us on this earth? Or what about those who never learned about the saving power of Christ? How is it fair that these never had a chance for salvation? ko-fi.com/post/Christ-...

I agree with Shane on this. But, I would add: there is not, nor will there be, any simple solution to the Israel / Palestine conflict. Criticism of Israel is appropriate but antisemitism riding on its coattails is not.

Prayer is at the foundation of all church renewal. Before we need new ideas and quick-fix solutions, we need prayer. But, this is a certain type of prayer: this is intercession. Intercession is one way we re-affirm in our thoughts the priority of love. ko-fi.com/post/A-Praye...
