Jesus, could you please rapture the charismaniac lady who brings her tambourine to church?

On the Sabbath day, we are remembering that my relationship with God did not begin with what I've done, it is not sustained by what I do, and it is not guaranteed to the end by my effort or work. I'm saved from beginning to end by Jesus' work.

We need to pay attention to the questions non-Christians are asking, and the conversations that Christians are having.

This world needs more than good works. It needs good news. Good works come out of the good news.

Ultimately I think the difference between reading the Bible and studying it is making the connections between who Jesus is and what he's done.

The cross is the great jewel of the Christian faith and like every great jewel it has many precious facets that are each worthy of examining for their brilliance and beauty.

My desire as a Christian pastor is to see churches raised up as communities of grace ruled by Jesus and led by his gloriously masculine men who work their jobs, eat their meat, drink their beer, romance their wives, study their Bible, and raise their kids in glory and joy
