You can’t put everything that’s in the Bible in a play or a television production or a movie. Genealogy for a starter would be tough to portray.

Read More Dramatisation: You Ever Done This?Context. Where does it fit? Why does it fit there? What came before it and what came after it? Is it all we need to know or is there more? Can I get away with my understanding of it as I look at it, or do I have to do some more work around it? […]
Read More Getting the Whole StoryThe thing about redemption is that it screams out “there is hope!” Even in the worst situations where hope appears lost, the story of redemption says it’s worth holding out for hope.

My initial reaction to that was, obviously no one was paying attention to what had been going on in the previous 39 years. Getting over that reaction, I then moved on to consider the question: if that is the case, where do I […]
Read More Now Where Do I Begin?Love or fear. Generosity as a characteristic is incredibly attractive. Something I’ve noticed is that generosity is not based on material goods.
