The Hilarious Resurrection
Easter Sunday is chock full of unexpected events. An often overlooked aspect of the Resurrection is that it is ripe with laughter. After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. Look, nobody expected women to be ready to leave […]
When I Shake Dust Off My Feet
When Jesus coached his disciples about how to do ministry, he said this: “If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than […]
Lady Gaga or Jesus – Who Knows Christianity Best?
I’ve written about the problem of inserting adjectives in front of the word Christian. And because of the amount of cultural influence that I wield – the problem persists.
