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: [...]
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 [...]
There’s a lot on my mind lately, but, though it’s not really a great pressing concern to me, I keep coming back to one particular issue. Perhaps that means it will be illuminating to somebody, so here it is. From several places, I’ve heard what appears to be a common objection to the [...]
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.

I’ve lost count of the number of sermons I’ve heard, articles I’ve seen, and books I’ve read that in some way or another caution the Christians [...]
Now that Christmas is almost upon us, it is fitting that we turn our attention to the words of Christians who are doing their best to spread the message of their deeply cherished beliefs about the true meaning of this holiday season: “There is nothing Christian about Christmas. Sure, religion [...]
A lot of people seem to read the Bible this way: [Note: that's apparently an actual book, oddly enough, but the following is not any kind of review or comment on it; I haven't read it and don't plan to.] God’s Little Instruction Book. Sounds pretty good, no? You [...]
When I was in high school, I worked under a man who for some reason didn’t like me. So he decided to sabotage my career. He spread false stories about me behind my back, saying that I wasn’t a good worker. He insulted me in front of my friends. He managed to get [...] |
