We love the forgiving God of Jonah, but not so much the wrathful God of Nahum. Yet his wrath is a key component of his goodness.

Inscription 62: The Sin of Indifference in Amos

Amos 6:1-7 lambast the rich not for being rich, but for ignoring the poor. Sadly, their attitude sounds way too familiar.

The Radically Normal Christian, Part XI: This Life Matters

Have you ever enjoyed a breathtaking sunset or a stunning piece of art? Too bad "it's all going to burn," isn't it? Isn't that what the Bible teaches, that this world is all going to be thrown away and only our souls go to heaven?

Not exactly.

The Radically Normal Christian, Part VIII: Happy Holiness

If you asked 100 people on the street who they thought was more fun, God or Satan, what sort of answers would you get? I think most people buy into the same lie Satan told Eve: God is holding out on you (Genesis 3:1-5).

In this sermon, I try to change the way we look at obedience to God, teaching us to see it as a path to joy, not misery.
