Posted on June 29, 2020 by RC

The Great Commission calls us to make disciples of the nations. What is a disciple?

Posted on June 18, 2020 by RC

Ask RC-Is my sense of “peace” a good arbiter of right and wrong?

Posted on June 4, 2020 by RC

What would you say to Derek Chauvin?

Posted on June 1, 2020 by RC

Repent and believe the gospel. Which is precisely what I would have said to George Floyd, had I the opportunity. Which doesn’t in the least suggest a moral equivalency between the actions of the two. It does, however, suggest a … Continue reading →

What is most needful in our pulpits?

Does God hear everyone’s prayers?

Posted on May 18, 2020 by RC

Of course He does. God not only hears everyone’s prayers, He knows them before they are even spoken (Psalm 139:4). There is nothing God does not hear. We will one day give an account for every idle word (Matthew 12:36). … Continue reading →
