New Methodist Blogger – Rev. Geoffrey Lentz
Byhenry June 7, 2009
I’ve been meaning to post this for a few days, but it’s been busy, as you can tell from my low level of blogging. Geoffrey Lentz is the associate pastor of First United Methodist Church of Pensacola, and a former student of mine. In fact, I met Geoffrey in the first class I taught for…

Why Not to Tithe
Byhenry August 20, 2014
The word “tithing” has undergone quite a substantial change in meaning over the course of my life. Growing up as a Seventh-day Adventist, it meant giving precisely 10% of one’s income to the church. This money had a special use in the SDA church, supporting pastors. For my parents, the tithe was just the starting…

Strange Search of the Day
Byhenry December 10, 2009
Someone, or perhaps more than one person, found this blog through the search “libertarian women in ephesus,” resulting in four page views. I have no idea what post that search would lead to. The phrase “libertine women” leaps to mind, but I’m pretty sure I have never used that phrase on this blog. Search phrases…

Through Difficulties to Ministry
Byhenry November 22, 2011
Shauna Hyde is one of the authors at Energion Publications, so I admit to bias, but I really did like this write-up in the Charleston (WV) Gazette-Mail. Her book, Victim No More! is mentioned in the article. I’m often critical of newspaper articles, not so much for being negative, but for being shallow. I think…
