I am deeply convinced that the Christian leader of the future is called to be completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self. That is the way Jesus came to reveal God’s love.

@aaronjhann I've struggled with the modern version of "biblical manhood and womanhood." This is a simplistic view (it's late and I'm feeling simple), but Jesus spoke more of his kingdom than of gender roles. Why do we speak more of gender roles in Bible classes and churches?
@joshuagates Loved the Shatner show! You and Shatner team up : 1. The edge of space with Richard (and look at the congressional report on UFOs), 2. Shatner's horses at the Shelbyville Horse Show and the myth of the Pope Lick Monster, the Gray Lady, etc., 3. Tour of Dan's book The Lost Symbol.
@JackTor60637011@jamesmacdonald This hashtag is the same sort of bullying language and behavior exemplified during the past political season. Please. Exemplify fruit of the Spirit. Exemplify Christ. Exemplify biblical confrontation. A lost world watches and listens.
