What makes for a bad discussion even before the discussion? A bad mood; and bad attitudes.Notice the time frame of the following which Matthew alerts us to by the phrase, “at that time”. “At that time” (11:25; 12:1) shows that within the time frame of 12:1 and the Sabbath confrontations, we have 11:25 and what […]

If you are a fan of real Country music, you probably – definitely – don’t even listen to Country music on the radio much at all these days. “But Country music is more popular than ever!” goes the defense. Nope. Country music is hardly played anymore on the radio. The modern brand left its roots […]

Jesus was what Eve desired; and did not hold on to what Eve took. What Jesus had a right to, Eve did not, and yet she grasped after what Jesus was willing to let go. So He became what she and Adam were, to show us what to be.If this is convoluted, let’s juxtapose these […]

A new word for an old sin – throuple. A throuple combines “three” with “couple”. A congresswoman just resigned, partly due to this. Google “throuple” and find an article which highlights three former evangelicals who ran away from God’s restrictive sexual ethics into each others lascivious arms.What are the old names?

In fact, it is the same incomplete thought found in many’s misunderstanding of the disciple’s life: “the heath and wealth gospel”, “why do bad things happen to good people”, etc.Revelation teaches we are a kingdom of/and priests:• “and made us a […]
