Contending with Fools

Posted on October 12, 2022 by RC

We live in an age of spin and propaganda. We no longer weigh careful arguments and reach our conclusions judiciously. Instead, we inhabit what one cultural critic called a “sensate culture.” We do not think, we feel. We do not … Continue reading →

Voting for Death

Posted on October 7, 2022 by RC

It’s a common enough fallacy, tu quoque. It means simply, “You too.” If we are talking about something I’ve done wrong and I point out that you have done the same such has zero bearing on the wrongness of what … Continue reading →

What is “second degree separation”?

Posted on October 3, 2022 by RC

Pluralism

Posted on September 29, 2022 by RC

There is no such thing as the “More Party.” They do not run campaigns seeking to unseat sitting officials of the “Less Party.” Both “more” and “less” need more context and less ambiguity. We need to know what we are … Continue reading →

Grumpy Pants

Posted on September 27, 2022 by RC

I have a friend who was once a performer. He is a passionate man, but also, from time to time, profoundly honest. I went to see him perform and he made this confession. He said, “My wife told me that … Continue reading →

Unfaithful Voting

Posted on September 21, 2022 by RC

Dr. Al Mohler found himself in the cross-hairs of the evangelical left recently when he publicly stated that Christians are being “unfaithful” when they vote wrongly. I honestly cannot begin to fathom how any faithful Christian could even question such … Continue reading →

How was my social media fast?

Posted on September 12, 2022 by RC

Not so fast. Let me define my terms. Roughly six weeks ago I determined to take a rest. That meant no blog pieces. No podcast. No tweets. No (almost) comments. While those decisions led to less screen time, I did … Continue reading →

A Christian Nation or Christian Nationalism?

On the left side of the aisle we have those who insist that because Jesus commands us to care for the poor that we need more government welfare programs, that because Jesus calls us to love we must affirm the … Continue reading →

Posted on July 20, 2022 by RC

I once worked in an office that was quite caught up in a then well-known book. The E-Myth was a business book, written by Michael Gerber. His thesis, as I recall, was that successful businesses are those that learn to … Continue reading →

All the Pretty Horses

Posted on July 19, 2022 by RC

One of the great things about seeking to manifest the reign of Christ is that there is always plenty to do. Firemen, ambulance drivers, soldiers and forest rangers, on a good day, find themselves with precious little to do. And … Continue reading →
