A Squeakier Patches and Stumpy – YouTube. Here is a reposting of a classic reflection on the dangers and inadequacies of strict Biblical literalism and inerrancy. Biblical interpretation is not about getting the words and rules right, its about encountering the living God active in our lives now. But let’s just say the position “The […]

Powerful video. Pastor people, this is a keeper for a sermon. After watching this, can you really buy the line that all God is really interested in is our souls and Jesus’ mission for the church is just to get people into heaven?

In working on my sermon for this weekend, the gospel reading is Luke 15:1-10 and the part that jumped out at me was the accusation levelled at Jesus that he welcomed sinners and ate with them. His response was that heaven celebrates when the lost is found, when the 99 are left to fend for […]
It appears I spoke too soon. Here you have the bio of Martin Luther and the Reformation in a rap. Unfortunately the web site of the creator is down, so I can’t give you more than this youtube link. Word, dawg.

While I’m not real happy with the audio – for some reason I sound kind of muffled – a posted podcast is better than no podcast at all. Holy Week seemed like a rough one for Christians this year. As we remembered the suffering and death of Jesus, the news seemed to focus on abuses […]
