Mary’s Magnificat
Watching inexpressible joy swell up inside someone is a wonderful thing to witness. You may recall seeing it happen to Mary in the Christmas story. One moment she’s talking to her relative Elizabeth about how God has supernaturally blessed her with a baby and the next she’s bursting into song (Lk 1:39-56). It makes for…

Scribes & Widows
Jesus said death was ahead of him at Jerusalem and now it almost seems like he’s calling it out to come fight him. First he flips tables full of money at the temple; then he calls the Pharisees out on their hypocrisy; then he tells the Saducees that they’re, “Quite wrong”; and now he calls…

Christians Should Be Primed for the Idea of Aliens

I remember listening to a Christian talk show growing up in which the host would take all sorts of questions from his listeners and…

In the Spirit of Riffing on Old Movies
About every three months, RiffTrax Live comes to theaters and I make my way there to watch some of my favorite comedians make fun of some of the worst movies ever made. It’s hard to explain the feelings these events give me. My friends come along to watch, but I don’t think they ever really…

Speaking at the Library Tonight
There wasn’t a ton to do in Three Oaks, MI in the 90’s, but somehow my friends and family managed to keep ourselves busy. Whether it was biking around town or playing on the playground, we learned to enjoy the day. Our trips to the library were always a joyous occasion—not only because of all…

Resurrection Was a Hot Topic in Jesus’ Day
For the modern day Christian, resurrection is a basic principle of belief, but in Jesus’ time it was a hot topic, intensely debated between the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Believe it or not, there is almost no reference to the idea of resurrection in the Old Testament. The early Hebrews seemed to teach that everyone…
