Leviticus 9:1-24: Eternity in Liturgy

Byhenry May 9, 2009

I have had very little time to post on Leviticus over the last few weeks because of my business, in which I’ve been working on three books simultaneously. But Leviticus has not been very far from my mind. The more I read Leviticus, the more I like it. I’ve read through it with a variety…

Byhenry June 2, 2006

Recently I wrote a couple of entries, first on diversity and liberalism, and then on the Together for the Gospel statement.

The Problem with Eschatology

Byhenry July 15, 2013

I grew up in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which is very interested in eschatology. We didn’t learn the term all that early, but we were subjected constantly to sermons about it. SDA eschatology is one of the key reasons I’m not SDA any more, but when I first joined a United Methodist congregation, I was…
