Responding to life’s little messes
Reflections on “Bruce Almighty” 2003. It is a cliché that won’t die whatever can go wrong will. The comedy Bruce Almighty exploits this contrivance proving that this cliché is not dead, at least not in the movies and more so with human nature.
Urgency of the gospel message
Why did Jesus say to preach the one message about him? Because, I think, by the time I’ve said what I’ve wanted to say, one person may not hear the lifesaving message of being saved from an eternity in hell. If someone tells the message that one is supposed to, then just in time before… Read More Urgency of the gospel message

I realized though that the faith is not middle of the road. Jesus preached turning away from lifestyles of sin and putting… Read More Today’s pet peeve is middle of the road blues
