“Sorry, kids, no candy for you, but we’ll take that NIV off your hands. Thanks.” Brilliant. Don’t forget to take their candy, too. We would not want them eating Satan’s sugar. (via @julieclawson)

Convenience Stores
by Buddy Wakefield We both know the smell of a convenience store at 4 AM like the backs of a lot of hands. She sells me trucker crack: Mini-Thins, like Vivarin. Doesn’t make me feel awkward about it. She can tell it’s been a long drive, and it’s only gonna get longer. Offers me a free cup of coffee, but I never touch the stuff. Besides, I’m gonna need more speed than that. We notice each...

Why Won't My Law Work Anymore?
Jesus is the ultimate outlaw. He “broke” the Law once for all. After someone quoted Matthew 5:17 (in the King’s English, no less) in response to that, I thought I should clarify. A better translation of that verse would be, “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.” From...

Euthanizing the Word “Unbiblical” →
[The idea of “unbiblical”] maintains that Scripture is a self-enclosed system that cannot refer to anything outside of itself. This is exactly the way that science was done before hypothesis testing… Some food for fundamentalist thought.

Grace Bomb →
Sister Diane, Most of us know you from your Twitter account. We get enough of a glimpse into your heart and life that we know how full of grace and love you are. You may not have a podcast or a blog or a church at a bar, but I am pretty sure you pray more than all of the outlaw preachers combined. That is why I say with confidence: You are our secret weapon, our prayer warrior. We are who we...

Conservative Bible Project →
In a list of some of their goals, one will find this gem: Express Free Market Parables; explaining the numerous economic parables with their full free-market meaning. Which, of course, reminds me of Donald Miller’s work on “Free Market Jesus.” The more we foster a consumer-driven perspective of God and the Bible, the less we see grace and love. Grace does not make a shred...
