    Just Jesus

    About 700 years before the time of Christ, a man named Micah, from the small town of Moresheth, spoke the following words, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit:2 But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who...

    Just Jesus

    Thanks for your contributions to this thread, wm and Emmy! I have another thought to contribute, this one from this morning's sermon at our church, though I think our pastor got it from someone else. In the post-resurrection story of Jesus on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35), he talks with...

    Just Jesus

    A kiss is a strange cue for a pounce. Luke records, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” (Luke 22:48). His kiss was ironic, yet it was in part because of this kiss that the Son of God came into the world. The kiss was the signal that the hour had come, that the Son of Man...

    What Does the Bible Say About Fairies? Are They Mentioned?

    Anyone ever read Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell? It's one of the best-written post-Tolkien fantasy books I've come across. It gives a very interesting treatment of fairies (mainly evil, I'd say). And I've wondered if the views of magic in the book don't parallel views of the church, even if the...

    Reconciling Christianity and Fantasy

    I'd suggest two things to read that might be helpful to you. I mean, they won't be helpful by saying "The Bible says Harry Potter books are [good|evil]" or anything like that. But they relate fantasy to life. One is CS Lewis's spiritual autobiography, Surprised by Joy. It's a wonderful book I...
