All in That's NOT in the Bible?!
“As you have come to the end of this blog post, I hope that you, my friends, see yet again how fast and loose we can get with our biblical interpretations and assumptions.”
“Over the Christmas holidays, I was inspired to return to that category, and brainstormed a whole series of editions of Things that Aren’t in the Bible that people would swear up and down are there. I have been in some pretty feisty arguments about these topics, in fact. I bet some of you have too.” It may surprise you to learn what is NOT in the Bible about Saul/Paul.
“And that is when I learned that there are things that the people we love want and need, and many of those things are really not a big deal. They just need us to give to them. Why don’t we just do what they need? Why don’t we just give them what they want? So often, what they want and need are such small things really. Why hold back?“
