I’ve never understood the ‘sport’ of boxing. I can understand the desire to pummel someone with your fist but the risk of being pummeled far outweighs the joy of the former. Even more confusing is the audience excitement at the sight of flowing body fluids and swollen faces. Why doesn’t the beat up boxer just…
The first line of Phillips, Craig and Dean’s song You’re still God, says “I thought I could trust you.” It causes the saint to be shocked at the honesty, the transparency, some might even be offended by it. In another time, I might have been. But not today, today, it is exactly what I’m thinking….

Paul founded the church at Corinth during his second missionary journey. Most of its membership were ex-pagan Gentiles. As a result, they still walked in their worldly desires. Their spiritual immaturity blinded them to the seriousness of their behavior. Paul (and God) desired this church to be victorious over sin. Painful as it was, …
John, the beloved disciple. One of the first disciples called. Part of Jesus’ inner circle. A fisherman by trade. The author with the most to say wrote his account of the gospel almost twenty years after the others. Ancient sources indicate an elderly John, living in Ephesus was asked to write his memories of Jesus…
