Christ’s Body: How We Miss the We-ness of Us All

We Must Pray, With Fervor, Maranatha, Lord Jesus
I used to say “Last things last.” Eschatology was, I knew, not easy. I figured I, and others, should master the easier stuff before moving on. Eventually I came to understand that when God reveals something to us we have … Continue reading

And It Came to Pass: His Constant Victory
I was not, as a kid, a particularly gifted athlete. I enjoyed sports, however, and so my hours were determined by the seasons: football, basketball, baseball. Early on I realized that my gifts were limited, while my desire to compete … Continue reading

Last Things First: Jesus Is Lord Now and Forever
It was my habit — my sophomoric habit — to proudly argue from my ignorance that we ought always to consider last things last. That is, recognizing the great difficulty in grasping the meaning of the end times and the … Continue reading
Sacred Marriage; Boomer Money; Shaking Dust & More
