This is an open-comment theology blog where I will post various theological musings, mostly in sermon or essay form, for others to read and comment on. If what I say here interests you, you may want to check out some of my books. Feel free to criticize, to critique, to comment, but keep comments to the point and respectful. Many of these posts have been published elsewhere, but I wanted them collected and made available to a wider audience.

It's A Wonderful Life
It's pretty amazing, when you think about it: an organization pays me to go around and serve God by helping people, training people to be more than they are and just generally make the world a better place. And I'm not bad at it apparently. Ministry like what I do is like being a professional superhero. What a statement of value the church makes by doing that, too, by paying for relational, active ministry. It is like the church says "yes, world, this is what we value, and this is what we want the world to be."
