I preached this past Sunday, and due to certain circumstances I started writing my sermon on paper. My wife Alicia was interviewing on Friday for a residency next year and I went with her (mostly for the free meals). There were four separate interviews scheduled, so I thought that would give me some good time […]
2009 ELCA Churchwide Assembly: Thoughts from One in the Minority
“With the vote today, there was no ontological change in the church catholic or the ELCA” I am going to reveal my voting record pertaining to the resolutions regarding sexuality at this year’s ELCA Churchwide Assembly in order to hopefully offer some helpful perspective. I expect that my friends on both sides of the issue […]

It was nice to hear the word out loud and not be distracted by footnotes, verse numbers, and section heading. Since this was […]
Galatians a la HCSB
A few random observations as I read through Galatians using the Holman Christian Standard Bible: 1:1 – Paul is an apostle not ordained by men, but by God. In fact, later in chapter 1 he goes on to mention that he did not seek out the other apostles after Christ reveals himself to Paul. I […]
Academics vs. Practitioners
In addition to all of my Galatians writing, I plan on doing some general writing as well, so this post falls into this category. I was sitting in class today wondering why it is that academia has such an influential role in the church when I realized that your average pastor doesn’t have close to […]
Galatians a la NASB
The style of the NASB, which I appreciate for intense study and exegesis, doesn’t make for good reading when consuming mass quantities of scripture. I found myself having to go back and reread a lot of verses because of the odd wording of some sentences. Nevertheless, it was a good experience, and I will try to read […]
