New Testament (383)
  1. If we picture the New Testament as a divinely painted masterpiece that hangs in the middle of a museum, then all around it are other works of the period, in different corridors of the museum, in many styles, painted by diverse artists, with variations of color and technique.
  2. The Jews were living the script for a Western movie when Jesus showed up. The enemies of God were running the town
  3. Yes, Christmas brings joy, but no less danger
  4. Paul has zero patience for the gospel of God to be called into question, especially when the ones questioning it are the ones who should’ve known better.
  5. Any message other than "Christ for you" is not good news.
  6. Matthew 22 sees Jesus address Jewish legal debates. In the process, he makes disticntions between the Law and Gospel.
  7. How the ancient view of "guts" is a lively metaphor of promise
  8. Christ reshapes what forgivness means and why it's important
  9. Let us not recoil at the sight and sound of the crucifixion. It is the battlefield of victory. It is the throne of the King. It is the symbol of salvation.
  10. God has the power to take that which is small, that which is overlooked, that which is despised, and use it to create something wonderful.
  11. I hope your people expect and even demand this of you. But how we proclaim the central message, that can (and probably should) vary.
  12. Christianity is not principally about ethics. It was the Cross on the Hill rather than the Sermon on the Mount which produced the impact of Christianity upon the world.
