God Doesn't Need Protecting or Defending!

Steve Brown June 21st, 2010

Tweet

I just discovered something I can hardly wait to tell you.

Are there certain Bible texts that make you wince? You know the ones I'm talking about… Bible teachers and mothers use them to make us feel guilty. Both want us to be good. They figure the best thing to do is to make us memorize Scripture that will keep us up at night until we either get in line or become atheists.

I call those "law enforcement texts."

I avoid them except when I'm doing … (Read More)

Do you know my favorite thing to do…right after jumping off buildings and getting a root canal?
