At the beginning of December I announced that I'd give away all print proceeds for the month to “Making Space,” a fundraiser that had just launched at Woodland Hills Church and aimed to help low-income and homeless families in St. Paul. I'm so happy with how it went that I'm giving away a couple prints!

Read MoreRevelation has been the subject of a lot of controversy (and some awful bumper stickers) over the years. Mostly having to do with all the end times stuff in ther. A lot of folks have gotten REALLY into that stuff and have very strong opinions about what the end of this chapter of humanity will be like.

Read MoreSo this week is 2 John and if you measure books by the amount words they have, 2 John is the second shortest book in the Bible (303 words). Two weeks from now, we'll be on Jude which is the fourth shortest book in the Bible (613). Next week's book, 3 John, takes the crown for shortest book in the Bible, coming in at 299 words.

Read MoreI'm not sure about you, but most of my life I've assumed that Jesus came to earth and died so I could enjoy a "Get out of Hell" free card. Maybe he came to show people how to be nice and everything, but it was mainly to get me into heaven. This week's passage seems to imply that there was at least one other (maybe even more important?) purpose Jesus had in mind. To kick some devil a**.
Read MoreLast week we saw Peter's peaceful and tender side. He encouraged Jesus followers to respond to evil with blessing. But just as you think Peter is walking around dishing out flowers, Sweet Tarts and hugs to everyone he meets, we get to Peter's thoughts on false teachers within the church.
