I Love the Kansas Jayhawks, but…
I LOVE the Kansas Jayhawks. It is a great program. I know a lot of people don’t like their fans. I hope I’m not one of THOSE fans, but I love the Kansas Jayhawks. However, I have a request of the selection committee (even though I know this will go unheeded): Please do NOT seed KU #1 in any bracket. They…

Disciples vs. Followers Follow Up

How to Be Labeled Insane
We carry labels in our lives. We like to slap labels on others. Jesus had some labels of his own. They weren’t ones he necessarily put on voluntarily. “Insane” was one of those labels. 20 Jesus entered a house.

The Spirit, Forms, Ritual, and New Things
I was in Mark 2 for my preaching text this past Sunday. The subject was new wine and new wineskins. When the Kingdom of God is bursting on the scene, we need to be able to move with what the Kingdom is doing. I was able to walk through vv. 1-17, but didn’t get to 2:18-3:6. Often when I hear…
