Site reader and frequent commenter OneSurvivor (who by the way has quite a good blog on abuse-related issues) has rediscovered the best way to get me to write a post: Ask me a good question! No really, do; it gets me talking like nothing else. She recently sent in this comment: [...]
The streets of the city are always dark, especially when it’s raining. And they just put a fresh coat of grime down 67th street. It got all over my office window. Not that you can see anything out my office window anyway. And if you could, you wouldn’t want to. I’ve seen it [...]
I’ve studied, read, taught, and even preached on John 4 (the story of Jesus and the woman at the well) ever since I first started studying what the Bible teaches on worship, which means it’s been many years now. Every once in a while I come back to this, and I [...]

Last time, I answered a question from a reader who wondered why there are so many hardships in the Christian life. I said that, according to what the Bible teaches, everything (good or bad) that God allows into our life is for the purpose of making us more like Jesus. But I didn’t [...]
or, If God Has a Wonderful Plan for My Life, Why Am I Suffering? From my files: September 2008. My long-time readers know that the best way to get a post out of me is for somebody to ask me a thoughtful question. That hasn’t happened as much lately as it used to, [...] |
