On May 6, 2010, I posted a blog titled “Pastor, You Have Offended Me.” Apparently the post was a hot topic since many of you commented. Today I would like to discuss the same subject, but from a different perspective. In my pastorate I have offended more than a few people. Most of my offenses …

My blog “When the Gospel is No Longer Relevant” on April 26 continues to stir consternation in me.
