What Do We Mean When We Call the Bible “The Word of God”?
Throughout scripture and in the history of the church, “Word” has meant a lot of different things. Here are a few of them:
Calling Jesus the Shepherd and Guardian of Our Souls
The term “guardian” could mean many things from project manager to accountant to bureaucrat to spy. How is Jesus our guardian?
Temple Tax: Context
The Temple tax was voluntary, an expression of faith and belonging – not part of a domination system.
Domestic Violence as Idolatry
The ancient gods blamed humanity for their own failings and problems. If humanity didn’t soothe them, they were struck down. Abusers treat their victims the same way.
