A few comments have helped me to understand that my recent post on tattoos was less clear than I wanted it to be. Here’s the point. It wasn’t really about tattoos.

One of the things that make the yellow lights in my head start blinking is when people say things like, “When God tells us to X for Y. This means that Y needs X.” Then the yellow lights go to red when someone adds, “I’m Y and therefore needy, you’re part of everyone else and […]
Excerpt from Toby’s Palm Sunday sermon. “When Jesus calls a man, it is abundantly clear that He demands everything. But this is good news because only Jesus knows what it will take to eradicate our sin. He must take our colts; He must overturn our tables; He must die. What is He doing?

I thought I would take a few more minutes to talk some more about this article. I wish there were a way to talk about the article without seeming to attack the author. I don’t know anything about Lucy Ann Moll and I don’t have any ill will toward her. I favor giving her the […]
