Beware Ginormous Study Bibles!!
DISCLOSURE REQUIRED BY THE FEDERAL LAW: I didn’t get a free Bible out of this — but I’d like one. [Thanks to EdStetzer.com for the clip.]
Pacifism: The Sermon on the Mount, Part 4 (“But I say unto you …”)
After declaring that he does not intend to abolish the Law and the Prophets, Jesus begins to show the deeper meanings of the commands given by God through the Law and the Prophets. (Mat 5:21-26) “You have heard that it … Continue reading
Pacifism: Swords Into Plowshares
Twice the Old Testament prophets announce that a day will come when men beat their swords into plowshares – (Isa 2:1-4) This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem: 2 In the last days the mountain … Continue reading
Pacifism: The Sermon on the Mount, Part 3 (fitting the Sermon into the Story)
Before we try to interpret the next part of the Sermon, we need to fit the Sermon into the larger story of the Bible (“story” does not mean fiction). God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden, a special place … Continue reading

Pacifism: Suffering
[I need to bring this series to a close. To hasten the process, I'll be posting two posts a day for a while.] In a series of posts, Tim Archer has pointed out the many passages that teach Christians are … Continue reading
It’s Friday! Halloween Candy Cursed! (And Why Alabama’s Victory Over LSU Is Certain)
OK… I’m a little late on this one… but did you know that Halloween candy is secretly cursed before it’s sent to your local grocery store? And we know this is true because it was found on a blog put … Continue reading
Pacifism: Whom Does God Defend?
There many passages in the Old Testament where God promises to defend his people without regard to the power of the people. (Judg 7:2) The LORD said to Gideon, “You have too many men for me to deliver Midian into … Continue reading
