I’m back up to my old tricks again, standing in coffee lines and offering to buy people's drinks if they'll answer a question. My question for the past two weeks has been, “What word do you think of when I say the name Jesus?” Want to know the number one answer? Nice. Yep, that’s it. Most people said, "Nice."

I wonder if they would change their answer if they knew how Jesus once responded to a potential follower who just needed some time to plan his dad's funeral. Jesus' exact words? "Let the dead bury their own dead…" That doesn’t seem very nice to me, but that’s exactly what Jesus said. Don’t believe me? Listen for yourself. Welcome to our new series, Cringe!
