Monday Notes

*Yesterday's worship featured a lengthy reading--Isaiah 1. In both services the text was read with power and thoughtfulness. I love to hear Scripture read well. It needs no introduction; it merely requires that we listen attentively.

*My son, William, made it back from Gatlinburg and Winterfest after a wonderful visit with dear friends from Indianapolis. Hello to all the Hoosiers!

*From the bookbag--two new books on the desk. One of the two is worth talking about. Ben Witherington, who vast commentary production is now occuping an increasing amount of my library, just released a book that has a lot of promise for conversation. Entitled What Have They Done with Jesus: Beyond Strange Theories and Bad History--Why We Can Trust the Bible, the book takes on the many contemporary attempts to blur Jesus' identity.

I really appreciated Alan's reading of Isaiah 1 in the second service. He did an excellent job. I would love to hear more readings, including lengthier readings, in our services.

And I'm not saying that just to encourage shorter sermons.
