Responding to TGC on Sex and Power
Byhenry July 18, 2012
Well, I’m not responding. I found someone who wrote a better response than I could manage. That is J. R. Daniel Kirk. The payoff quote: When Jesus came and showed us what Christian manhood was all about, he did not conquer, but allowed himself to be conquered; he did not pierce, but allowed himself to…

What Does It Mean to Survive Death?
Byhenry October 19, 2015
In my Eschatology study last Thursday (Oct. 15, 2015) I tried to answer an audience question.
