The Jazz Theologian

As of this month smooth jazz is dead in Denver…at least on the radio.  Due to declining ratings Smooth Jazz 104.3 FM is no more.  (They say that if you’ll still be able to hear it via an online stream or digital radio) Don’t despair.  While smooth jazz is gone, JAZZ still is thriving over…

The goats in Mt. 25 were blindsided!  They failed to realize that to see the least of these is to see Jesus.  This reminds me of Bono at the NAACP Awards…(if you have never seen this it’s worth watching the whole thing)

We need others to help us see what is in our blind spots.  We can’t always see the "snake in the grass" (satan) or deal with the "enemy within" (our flesh) by ourselves. That is why so many have wondered why Adam didn’t help Eve.  After all, the text says that Adam was "with her"…
