The Da Vinci Code
Monday, April 24th, 2006The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown, has been the subject of much controversy, especially within the church. It's not hard to see why, either.

The Servant of the Lord God, Part I
Friday, April 14th, 2006Last night I was reading Isaiah, and really was drawn into the passages depicting to coming of the Servant of the Lord God (YHWH). I've broken it into parts to be posted over the next few days. This is the How-Daniel-reads-it version, and I'm skipping a lot of verses that are also interesting. If you want […]
Resurrection People
Wednesday, April 12th, 2006We are the people who believe in the resurrection of the dead. Because Jesus rose again, we know that we also will live, though we die.
