September 16, 2020 Three years ago, I lamented on social media: “Hey, Inspiration, I don’t have any company at the moment, so if you’d like to come visit, I’d love to welcome you. Really. A lot.” I’m pretty sure I was struggling with a sermon at the time. Inspiration is one of those things we […]
Why didn’t Jesus seem to think that the “nice people” would go first? Here’s a transcript: I’m thinking about the twenty-first chapter of Matthew’s Gospel (Matthew 21:23-32).

Is God unfair? It sure looks like it sometimes. Here’s a transcript: I’m thinking about two passages of Scripture that illustrate, as well as any I can think of, the unfairness of God.
