Exhibit A: this interview with Kevin Vanzhoozer who offers an in-depth, conscientious handling of hermeneutics. www.logos.com/grow/live-he...

Marriage Exists for Christ (Colossians 1:15โ€“20) The following was a wedding homily, which Iโ€™ve adapted here for written and public format. Believe it or not, your wedding day is not about you. Now, of course, in one sense todayย isย abouโ€ฆ

Your marriage is not ultimately about you.

Christmas Is for the Sorrowful (Matthew 2:16โ€“18) The pain of Christmas grief is real, and the holiday cheer can amplify it. Discover how Jesus, God-with-us, meets us directly in our deepest sorrow.

โ€œItโ€™s the most wonderful time of the year.โ€ Except when itโ€™s not.

Like a magnifying glass, Christmas time not only spotlights whatโ€™s already present but enlarges our perception of it. This includes lifeโ€™s joysโ€”but also lifeโ€™s sorrows.

People will appeal to God, or the God-adjacent (like in an oath), in order to manipulate, cut off accountability, criticism, or input from others, and grant themselves a religious trump card with which to bulldoze others. /2
