Check The Wounds Yo

From the Greek home -work this week: John 20: 19-23. The Sunday after Jesus was crucified John says the disciples got together after the first 'weekday' after this horrible weekend.  The doors are 'already locked'  (strong emphasis).  They didn't lock after everyone got there.  They were locked at the start; people were cautiously added one …

Your God is Too Small

Have you ever noticed that the most outwardly 'religious' people in the world have the most anemic gods?  In the news last week I saw an ultrasound photo taken of a woman's womb.  "Is Jesus in the picture", a reporter asks? Of course he's in the picture! How do you think its even possible for …
