Introduction I actually wrote this list a few years ago, when a friend of mine was struggling with some issues in his congregation. It is meant as a satire, but it is poignant nonetheless. Too often, these kinds of human objections limit the power of the Holy Spirit to direct a congregation. The Vision Killing… Read More »
Blessed Nudity?
Of Dust and Kings had an excellent article on the nakedness of Adam and Eve in Genesis 2. It is worth considering since this passage is the root of so many ideas in Genesis, and it really links into some of the Torah passages that deal with sexual immorality. A good understanding of Genesis 2… Read More »

Concluding Thoughts on REAL MARRIAGE
I have been remiss in my task of reviewing Mark and Grace Driscoll’s book Real Marriage. I apologize for not getting the sections of the review out, but I have had a lot going on lately. Last night, I finished up reading the book and I think I am missing something. Everyone was talking about… Read More »

In Exodus 12, YHWH comes down into the midst of Egypt and he slays the firstborn of every household in the land, both Jew and Egyptian. In… Read More »
Next Steps?
Steps are pretty important when it comes to getting from one level of a building to another. Otherwise, we’d be jumping and climbing a lot. Our guys are installing new steps on our stage, and as they work on it, it reminds me that every journey takes steps. If the steps are planned out and… Read More »
New or Better?
Jony Ive, the mastermind of design at Apple, had this to say about Apple’s competition and why they fail to make designs with the same kind of hook that Apple makes: Most of our competitors are interested in doing something different, or want to appear new — I think those are completely the wrong goals.… Read More »
The Last Pew
Yesterday, a group of guys from the church started work on the stage to update it. Basically, we’re just organizing wires and adding a couple of steps but it will make the stage more open and more “user-friendly” for the various people that are on it. Along the way, Bob (one of our elders) told… Read More »
Revisiting Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles
Last year, I blogged on the apostle Paul and the possibility that his father was a Gentile, which colored his approach the gospel in a positive (divinely appointed) kind of way. This helps inform us when studying the book of Luke, which we are doing at Bedford Road, so I think it is worth considering… Read More »
