A 500-Year Protest Event

(Like a 500-year flood event? Work with me people.) At my church they are starting a Bible study on Luther. The news hook is that 2017 marks the 500th anniversary of the posting of the 95 Theses, which started the Protestant Reformation. Having been raised Catholic but now being a Protestant, let me say that […]

Jesus, the Magnificent Leader of Men

(I am picking the title here as a reference to this.) I believe I’ve mentioned this episode before, but for some reason I thought of it again over the weekend and decided to repeat it. Consider this famous passage that occurred after the Last Supper: 30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out […]

Nonetheless, when I was going through counseling with the preacher who was […]

Christian Professor Who Loves Harry Potter Novels

This was interesting and lines up with my thinking:

The Mosaic Law Put the Law Above Men

Leviticus 9 opens this way (bold is mine): 1On the eighth day Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel, 2and he said to Aaron, “Take for yourself a bull calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and offer them before the LORD. 3And […]
