The theater is just dark enough that the audience can just barley see a lone figure stride out to the center of the stage. He stands there for a moment and then a booming voice is heard from the balcony above; behind the patrons. This offstage surprise is immediately eclipsed by the authority of the …
I am presently working toward certification in Biblical Counseling and, as a result, having to read many books. This has been incredibly enriching to me personally. It was an immersion in biblical theology a few years ago that caused me to reevaluate and then redirect my pastoral ministry. Both of these experiences are so practical. The …
Let’s suppose for a moment that our choices for president had been narrowed down to the better of two awesome people. What if that had been our voting dilemma?! An actual, assured win-win either way? I’m not just talking about both candidates being conservative, pro-life, and for lower taxes… what if both were Christians of …
God wanted/wants us to track time; to measure our days. We know this because he set the bright, golden orbs in the expanse above us to mark dates and seasons. The natural order calls for darkness and light to take turns as it also does for wet and dry, warm and cold, storm and tranquility. …
Our morning started late with sausage patties, buttermilk pancakes slathered with apricot-honey butter, and hot coffee. But I forgot to add the baking powder so our flap-jacks were more like flat-jacks… We gathered at the table and still managed to enjoy our meal on this Fourth Sunday of Advent and our third week of missing …
Christmas doesn’t look the same this year. There are no seasonal venues to attend this year. There will be no live cantatas, no ballets to buy tickets for, no plays to take in, and no concerts to enjoy. Instead, we find ourselves plagued by fear, restricted by our government, and isolated from friends and family …
Two years ago fourteen-year-old Karthik Nemmani won the Scripps National Spelling Bee. This caught my attention as I breezed through the news that day as it reminded me of an incident that occurred during my own childhood. Our junior high classes at the public school that I attended gathered one day to have a spelling …
When it comes to the subject of rest, believers in Jesus Christ should be having a phenomenal experience every night, unless you have a newborn, in which case you have a glorious reason to be awakened several times by little baby sounds and hunger cries. And, there is also that sacrifice of slumber due to …
I rolled out of bed this morning still feeling heavy from last nights dinner. Smash-burgers, topped with jalapeño pimento cheese and served with a side of potato wedges fried in beef fat will do that to you. I hit the shower at 5:30am and was sipping a cup of Sumatra before the day dawned and …
I am presently meditating my way through the book, Everyday Glory: The Revelation of God In All of Reality, by Gerald R. McDermott. The author’s primary goal is to point out “types” of the gospel that exist in all of creation, for all of us to see, all the time. This is one of those …
