Forever and a Day

Posted on December 1, 2022 by RC

Meat, Idols and Sins, Oh My

Posted on November 29, 2022 by RC

Do Christians have a moral obligation to boycott companies that support unbiblical causes? No. Christians, of course disagree on this. And when we disagree we can usually expect someone to trot out the whole “meat offered to idols” and weaker … Continue reading →

Why are we so insatiable?

Posted on November 28, 2022 by RC

My annual Black Friday tweet says this- “Black Friday is proof that Thanksgiving did not take.” I’m not trying to shame anyone on the lookout for bargains. Neither am I a Scrooge about nice things. I’m in favor of them, … Continue reading →

Good News

Posted on November 25, 2022 by RC

I’ve got great news — I just saved a bundle on my car insurance. This pop-cultural punchline might just expose a real problem we have in our Christian sub-culture: we don’t know what the good news is. The confusion, from … Continue reading →

Neither Are We Grateful

Posted on November 24, 2022 by RC

It is a sure sign that we are sinners that we tend to be more concerned about what we do than what we are. That is, our guilt or peace oftentimes is the fruit of our own judgment of how … Continue reading →

Chickens, Eggs and Roman Catholicism

Posted on November 22, 2022 by RC

One should not, after centuries of such folly, be surprised when Roman Catholicism exposes its shameful pride. As our senses have grown dull, they’ve become more brazen with each passing year. They, after all, are the one true church. They … Continue reading →

Of Mice and Men

Posted on November 18, 2022 by RC

To suggest that wisdom is always balanced seems to me to be a bit, well, unbalanced. Whoever first uttered the words of wisdom, “moderation in all things,” should, I believe, have healed himself. All things? Isn’t that a bit extreme? … Continue reading →

We’re So Vain

Posted on November 15, 2022 by RC

Some Dance to Forget

Posted on November 11, 2022 by RC

It is a sure sign of the fall that we so egregiously miss what we lost. Jesus calls us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness precisely because our priorities are all out of line. Even that … Continue reading →
