Superheroes and Salvation

Who is your favorite superhero? Are you a masked hero kind of person? Do you prefer those like Spiderman or Batman? Or are you the quiet, unassuming type and prefer the Clark Kent type hero – who’s always Superman but doesn’t always show it. It really doesn’t matter who you prefer as your superhero of choice. The point is the superhero has one purpose – to rescue! If there is no villain, if you’re not trapped or in desperate need, then you don’t really need a superhero anymore. So what are the things from which you need rescued? And for what are you rescued? Continue reading

Who Was Jesus Anyway?

So who was Jesus? You don’t have to be a church type person to ask that question. It’s a simple question that people inside and outside the church have asked. We ask the question to validate our beliefs. We sometimes ask the question in an effort to prove someone wrong.

We don’t want to make other people feel bad but we don’t want to compromise our personal convictions either. So how do you handle it? Which way is right? How firmly do we stand on the way we claim to be right? Continue reading
