Following simple directions can make life so much easier
Each generation has had trouble with directions in some form. As much as I like to poke fun at the current generation, and it’s easy pickings because I teach in a college, I am reminded of my most embarrassing moment as well. In 9th grade biology we were given a list of instructions on a page. At the top it…

The church is the hope of the world
Ben Witherington interviews Scot McKnight on McKnight’s new book, A Fellowship of Differents. The interviews I’ve read sound great.

The word “IMPOSSIBLE”
Jesus looked at them carefully and said, “It’s impossible for human beings. But all things are possible for God.” (Matt. 19:26) “The word impossible does not belong in our vocabulary. In God’s ears, it’s an expletive. And it’s the primary reason we don’t experience the miraculous. We let our logical assumptions trump our theological beliefs. And before we know it, our…
