An approach to homiletics: Don’t interrupt the sorrow – it’s the preacher’s job to strip us naked and expose the misery that is the world. Don’t miss the joke – it’s the preacher’s job to reveal the inevitable comedy in a God who does the impossible. Do not turn homiletics into apologetics and demythologize the gospel – the gospel is that very magic that says that we will be changed, for real. Don’t be tempted to make the gospel harmonize with modern and post-modern thought. Let God be true, though all men are liars.

I’m worth $1MM in prizes. I am without excuse.
I’ve redesigned this thing a mere two times. This is its third iteration. It’s using WordPress, for the first time. This theme was adapted from the standard, Kubrick. Border elements prefacing the ‘comments’ were graciously provided by Barrett Stanley, from his 100 Erased Lincolns.
