Have you ever heard of Molech? He’s one of the few deities that the Bible explicitly condemns by name.

I’m pretty sure Jesus was…saying, “You were faithful, for a time at least—so why did you abandon your post? Why did you stop working?”

One of the first things we need to remember when approaching any Biblical text is that it comes from a communal, not individualist, culture.

Overall, the point of a wisdom text—and all Scripture, regardless of its literary genre, is inherently bent toward wisdom—is to guide its readers along a general pathway through life.

Who do we serve? To whom—or what—are we sacrificing those around us today?

The Gospel is a radical message, and it is not what we so often try to turn it into. It is not necessarily the “good news” we want to hear.

Small as it is, common as it is, unremarkable as it is, breath is the key difference between life and death. It’s all that separates a human body from a human being.

…our modern understanding of faith, especially the blind trust version, has little or nothing to do with what the Bible is talking about…

We read “I am the gate” or “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” but instead of looking at the metaphor…we put all our focus on the word “the.”
