Chasing Aslan in the Real World
A week ago I had a strange thought that occurred to me while I was laying flat on my back for a few days. I was on my back due to a pinched nerve I acquire while picking up the lightest thing possible up off the floor. As my friend Mark says, "I'm at that... Continue Reading →
It has been one year since I began this little commentary on the book of Genesis. I can hardly believe it. My intention had been to just cover the Eden narrative which ends with Cain and Abel, as far as I’m concerned. I’m starting to see, however, just how far the implications of these first...

Beginning in verse 5, we begin the aside narrative regarding the creation of Adam and Eve. What was simply a passing reference in the first chapter we now get details about. I couldn’t help but wonder “Why?”. There is quite a bit of detail that the Bible leaves out throughout the entire book. Details about... Continue Reading →
It has been a while since I’ve given you, dear reader, any words and especially a long while since I’ve given you anything Genesis related.

{A couple days ago the worship director at my church asked me to do a meditation on the Christian Characteristic "Peaceful". It didn't take me long to realize that for me...Shalom is a massive subject that I could turn into a sermon or even a book if it was asked of me. By the second... Continue Reading →
One of the things that I’ve realized recently while studying through the Scriptures is that it appears Heaven is not the end. There has been a mindset, for millennia perhaps, within the Christian Church that we must simply endure this physical world until we finally get to heaven where we really belong, and we will...

Months later here we are chapter two of Genesis. I imagine that once we are out of Eden the narrative analysis will go a lot more smoothly and quickly, but there is so much packed here in these very few pages; so many gems that we overlook to get to the “good stuff”. ... Continue Reading →
And now we come to the first contentious part of the Bible. Well, at least this is true in modern times. To be fair the idea of God literally creating the universe, literally creating each living thing with words from His mouth is fairly controversial. But the idea of God creating us as Male and...
