No matter how you slice it, a golden statue of a former president was a bad idea, but it did inspire me to review several scriptures related to idol worship. I guess any Bible study is good Bible study, and I enjoyed Photoshopping the stature into this "Sunday School" art scene. On a happier note... Continue Reading →
Who Is Jesus?
To find Jesus as an adult, I've spent several years quietly rejecting past concepts of him. Easiest to reject is the Jesus of evangelicals.
