      Decades ago I read the memoir of Sir Edmund Hillary. He described an interlude in his adventuring during which he went home to New Zealand. What chased him back to adventure was waking up one morning “hungover” – not just from alcohol but from rich food and assorted “good things of life.” A friend and […]

    • Still Standing

      Studying Revelation 5 with some pals at breakfast, I tried to illustrate my strongest impression of the chapter with some handy tabletop items. I think you had to be there… in this post I’ll try to recreate it. You’ll get none of the spontaneity and discussion, but all of the theological mediocrity (but hopefully not […]

    • For The Win

      I caught a post from a Facebook group that is set up to discuss churchy stuff. A member announced that his tradition was treated as second class in the threads and he was leaving, which brought the following comments: Christians on the internet are like any other cohort of the population. We go heavy on […]

    • That Dang Supply Chain

      Reading through the Revelation (and, in many churches, hearing from it in the current Sunday lessons) conjures up that feeling of high demand and low supply. They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” (6:10) There’s a high demand […]

    • The Great Ones

       Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the […]

    • Two Kinds of Tombs

      Yeah, Christians stew about all the same crud that upsets our neighbors. We’re human, distracted, flawed, idolatrous, deceived… But we’re also in a 50 day celebration of Jesus’ empty tomb – his victory over all of our death dealing stuff (the crud in the first paragraph above and oh so much more) and his leading […]

    • Fruitless

      And he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?’ And […]
