We come now to the conclusion of our series on the Incarnation. If you missed the first two posts, be sure to check them out here and here. Also, there was a poem that managed to fit into this theme, which you can check out here. The following is my own contribution to the subject matter, and hopefully you will find it as fruitful and interesting as you found the other pieces. I am appreciative of my guest writers (and poet), and look forward to working with them in the future.

Today’s post for this series comes from my friend Kyle Keene. He’s a great guy, and one whom I would like to push to write for these sorts of series more often than just this. You can check out his blog, but be warned that there is not much content there right now. Maybe if we all check it he will feel pressured to update it. Or he’ll ignore us. One way or the other, I am extremely grateful for his post. It was Kyle’s posts on his facebook account that actually inspired me to write this series (or, as it is turning out, have it written by others). I have much appreciation, and there is a lot to glean from his post. Enjoy. Read more…

I decided that spending time with my family and friends would take precedence over posting this series. This series will go this whole week, though, with guest posts today and tomorrow. I will write on Wednesday and on Thursday we will have a poem by a first time contributor. I’m excited, and I think you all should be as well. Read more…
It should be clear by this point that I think Matt Anderson’s recent book, Earthen Vessels, is worth reading and discussing. This week, I want to look at the topic of tattoos, which Matt covers in one of his chapters. Read more…
The title up there may have tipped you off, but I do intend on writing a series of posts about Earthen Vessels, Matthew Lee Anderson’s recent book. My official review can be found here, but rather than diving in (I want to let that marinate a bit), I’ll speak here on what the book purports to do: start a conversation. Read more…
