What does it truly mean that "the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now dwells in you"?
Love Incorruptible: The Book of Ephesians Part 5
From eternity past unto eternity future, the miracle of salvation has been from God, for God, through God, and ultimately, to God.
Love Incorruptible: The Book of Ephesians Part 2
What's so surprising and wonderful about Paul's opening statement to Ephesian believers? Why is his blessing of "grace and peace" so earth-shattering?
Love Incorruptible:The Book of Ephesians- Part 1
I recently finished up a Bible study with our college and career class at church through the New Testament book of Ephesians, Paul's letter to the Christians at Ephesus. Unfortunately, I didn't discover the perfect title for a series through Ephesians until the very last lesson. That's because the phrase I am using for the title … Continue reading Love Incorruptible:The Book of Ephesians- Part 1

Keep the X in Xmas!
It’s been said “Xmas” is a seasonally attempt by subversive secularists to kick Christ out of Christmas. I don’t doubt that is the intent of some folks. But the reality is the Greek spelling of the name Christ starts with an X (Χριστός).
In fact, the early Church often referred to Christ simply by his first Greek initial (X), or more commonly by overlapping his first two initials (XP). The simple cross (X) of course carried double meaning for those early Christians, and for us today.
So in that sense there’s not only a Christ in Xmas but also a Calvary. Far from a secularist attack, “Xmas” reminds us of Christ, his birth, and his cross, all at once.

Recently during … Continue reading Hey Christian, Christmas Is For Sufferers
From Altar to Table – Who Cares?
I loath the way the Lord's Supper is handled in most churches. And I am not even referring to those haute innovators of things like the U2charist (yeah, it's real, no joke). If anything it is the flippancy, thoughtlessness, irreverence, and general boring nature of the practice. One of the things that has always intrigued … Continue reading From Altar to Table – Who Cares?
Feasting at God’s Table
When one decides to theme a blog as a "table," it may raise a few questions. To which kind of table am I referring? Being interested in theology, do I intend to draw attention to the Lord's Table or Communion? Being a lover of debate and discussion, do I intend this to be a sort … Continue reading Feasting at God’s Table
