Quick to Listen, Slow to Speak, Slow to Become Angry

Posted on December 23, 2025 by RC

Being Still: A Heart’s Embrace of His Sovereignty

Defending Loose Cannons, and Trump’s Loose Tongue

Posted on December 18, 2025 by RC

The Word of His Power; The Power of His Word

Posted on December 11, 2025 by RC

I think we’ve got omniscience wrong. Yes, it certainly means all knowing. And yes, certainly God knows all things. It’s important to affirm as well that His knowledge overlaps with our knowledge. When we say 2+2=4 we are agreeing with … Continue reading →

How Do My Pastor’s Sermon and a Recorded One Differ?

Posted on December 1, 2025 by RC
