Pray for Me
I don’t think I usually ask the church to pray for me. And maybe that’s just…dumb. Oh, I’ll fill in the Friendship Register at church with a prayer request sometimes, though the pace of the service and my responsibilities keep me from it many weekends.

Calling Down Fire From Heaven on Sinners?
Jesus’ disciples often look like oafs. And this is one of the marks of New Testament authenticity.

What Jesus Taught About Marriage
After 10 years of marriage and two children, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin (not pictured 🙂 ) announced in March of 2014 that they were divorcing, only they didn’t call it that; the phrase they used was “conscious uncoupling.” The (former) Hollywood power couple was guided by the husband and wife team of doctor and Continue reading
