August 12 – Thoughts About the God of Love and Peace

March 22 – An Unfair God
Matthew 20:1-16; Numbers 13-14; Ecclesiastes 9:1-12 I hear stories of them, but haven’t found anything I can verify through research. You know what I mean: death bed conversions. Every so often a well-known atheist or agnostic dies and rumors are … Continue reading

July 10 – Forsaken
Marrk 15:21-47; I Kings 11; Hosea13 There is perhaps no greater moment of agony in the story of Jesus than one moment on the cross: “And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eloi, Eloi, … Continue reading
