If you’re preaching tomorrow, are you going with Ezekiel in the Valley of Dry Bones (Ezekiel 37) or Jesus Raising Lazarus (John 11)? (I’m not preaching. Just curious.)

Welp, I had Kansas playing Purdue in the final, so… 🤷♂️🏀
Mmm. Sorry, Purdue fans
Show your pastor, bishop, etc. the same level of trust that they show to those who come forward with accusations of abuse. Don’t just blindly follow a pulpit, collar, or mitre if they don’t demonstrate concern for the vulnerable.
Fellas, manly men don’t whine about a “war on men.” Real men dismantle the patriarchy.

I did it. I bought a Burke Bar and a Stanley “Fubar III” Utility Bar. If anyone needs anything demolished, please let me know :)

“Sorry, Pippin, but I don’t think they serve second breakfast in hell, either…”
Sorry, but the anti-“woke” ends don’t justify the anti-Christ means. “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall own the libs, and lose his own soul?”
Church request! “A liturgy for the timely release of an abuse investigation report, accompanied by the contract that guided the investigation.” Needs a catchier title though. Perhaps “A Liturgy for the Avoidance of Millstones”? Let judgment begin with the household of God.
In Romans 1:18-32, Paul is rehashing Jewish stereotypes of Gentile sinners. He’s getting the “you,” the “judge,” of ch. 2 to nod along and say “Amen!” before springing the trap at 2:1. Can’t help but wonder what kind of Christian stereotypes of “sinners” Paul would draw on today!
Resisting the urge to buy an enormous pry bar that I have no immediate need for
Given what Paul’s doing in Romans 1-2 (It’s a trap!), it’s pastoral malpractice to preach the “clobber passage” of 1.18-32 without also talking about chapter 2’s critique of self-righteousness. I’d love to hear a sermon that replicates Paul’s rhetorical trap.
