Teaching Adult Bible Classes: How to Survive 1 Corinthians
I get emails – Jay, this year I’m teaching 1 Corinthians in one of our adult classes. And so I’ll get to address the thorny issues of divorce and remarriage and womens’ public role in the church. I’ve read your … Continue reading
On Going to Boston and Automatically Generated Links
I’m leaving town to visit Boston, home of lobster, chowder, and beans. I’ll be gone until Monday night, and so I may not have much time for commenting. I have posts all set to go — so the pace of … Continue reading

Election: “Those he called”
Paul frequently refers to Christians as being “called.” What does it mean? “Called” sounds so much like “invited.” Is that the meaning? Well, many have been invited and not responded! I mean, how many have heard the gospel message and … Continue reading
Reader looking for a congregation
A reader has written me asking for the name of a progressive Church of Christ northeast of Birmingham, Alabama. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Ministry Ideas: Adoption
(Now, this one chokes me up. I’m glad I’m typing and not speaking.) We have couples who’ve decided that they should adopt children from poor countries — as a ministry for Jesus. Adoption is common enough, of course, but most … Continue reading
