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 [...]

Guilt, shame, and condemnation. Unspoken rules you have to live up to. Authoritarian leaders you can’t ever question. An exclusive “us-vs.-them” mentality. Subtle or not-so-subtle pressure to fit in. Barely veiled manipulation and peer pressure tactics. Fear of doing the wrong thing. Public rebuking if you do. Warnings against what will happen if [...]
Originally posted May 2006. I put this together back when The Da Vinci Code and its remarks on the authority of the Bible were the hottest topic of conversation. With the publication of Dan Brown’s new book, and with few signs of popular misconceptions about the Bible dying down, I thought it [...] |
