Calculating Forgiveness (Matthew 18:21-35) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
So, here’s the thing: If the shepherd and the king are meant to represent God in these parables, then we’re left with two choices: either God doesn’t quite get how the world operates and gets swindled by forgiving an ungrateful jerk, or God’s playing a completely different game from the one we’re used to playing. I’m going with the latter. Whatever God’s role in all of this forgiveness stuff is, it’s way bigger, and way more absurd than you or I are liable to dream up on our own. But that, at le
Mistaken for a Weed (Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43) (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
Photo by Glenn Carstens-Peters on Unsplash For people who don’t know what they really want, who don’t know real freedom, everything and nothing looks good. “We played the flute for you, and did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn."
