The Right Side of History

“You don’t want to be on the wrong side of history.” I majored in history when I was in college (I tell our grandchildren it was easy because then there was a lot less of it to learn).

Jesus and Bumper Sticker Theology

I have no wish to be offensive or insensitive in what follows, but there is also no need to equivocate or be anything less than straightforward in regard to Jesus’ teaching about sexuality.

Real People, Not Actors

I saw a commercial not long ago that contained something unintentionally funny as well as being quite revealing. I don’t remember what was being advertised, but they had people giving testimonials while words appeared on the screen that said, Real people, not actors. I think they spoke more truth than they realized. I’m not saying thatContinue reading “Real People, Not Actors”
