Wednesday Night Bible Study: Matthew 18-19: In Which I Die from Boredom

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

(Oops, I accidentally screwed up the posting schedule for this post, and my internet went down for about 20 hours to boot, so my apologies on it’s tardiness!)
I keep having problems with the “what do you want to study next” poll. Hopefully, it’s fixed, so if you haven’t voted, please do! Revelation is currently winning.
For [...]

Sunday Sermon: Matthew 17

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

To make up for missing a week of WNBS, thought I’d catch us up today. It is Sunday, after all, and every good person should be about recovered from their Saturday night hangover by the time they’re reading this! (Though if you haven’t ever read the Bible while drunk, you are missin’ out!)
Someone on Wednesday [...]

Wednesday Night Bible Study: Matthew 15-16, In Which I Single Handedly Take Down Christendom With One Verse

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

So in the poll, Revelation is winning for our next book to study! You guys hate me, don’t you? I might have to sneak a few of my parents’ Revelation material before covering that one. They have a nice collection of Hal Lindsey and Pat Robertson books on the Rev. My mom says [...]

Wednesday Night Bible Study: Matthew 13-14

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Last week, we got through chapter 12 and left me not particularly caring for Jesus’ attitude. We’ll pick up this week in chapter 13, which can be found here. (Feel free to follow along and add any comments if you think I missed anything interesting!)
Chapter 13
Jesus is apparently having a busy day. After all that [...]

Wednesday Night Bible Study: Matthew 11-12

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Okay, I confess, I peeked ahead a little last week when I was trying to figure out whether or not Jesus’ disciples actually followed his instructions. He does send them off, but not to cities, and reading ahead, I realized something: I don’t like Jesus. At least, I don’t like Matthew’s perspective of Jesus. It’s [...]

Wednesday Night Bible Study: Matthew 9:14-10

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Wow, so according to the poll, most of you do like WNBS! For the few who didn’t, I’m sorry! Just don’t visit the blog on Wednesdays! Or make a comment if there is anything I could do that would help you like them better. So we will continue! And if they ever get old or [...]

Thursday Night Bible Study: Matthew 7:15-9:13

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

I told someone I would continue my series on reading through the Bible this Wednesday, but I forgot all about it! So Thursday night Bible Study it is!
I’ve only had one person tell me they like this. I don’t usually get very many comments on them, and I don’t know if it’s because I so [...]

Wednesday Night Bible Study: Matthew 5.5-7:14

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

Last week, I got through Matthew 5:20. Today, I am going to wrap up Chapter 5 and see how far I get in under 1500 words.
Matthew 5:21-48
I have decided that I don’t need Richard Dawkins to be an atheist. The Bible itself, when examined without an emotional lens, makes no sense. And is a little [...]

Wednesday Night Bible Study: Matthew 4-5.5

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

Whoops, meant to post this yesterday, but got carried away reading my old journal instead. So Bible study tonight instead, and on Wednesdays from here on out!
ETA: I wrote this while on some cold medicine. I just went back through and edited it a bit, because, wow, it definitely sounds like I was [...]

In the Beginning, There Was Jesus

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

If my mom knew I was doing this, she would probably be quite happy. I am sure both my parents would start praying for a Josh McDowell type conversion. The more I think about him, the less I understand. I should probably read the book he wrote about it, but heck. Maybe I will re-convert [...]
