The Lord Giveth, and the Lord Taketh Away

Posted on June 7, 2024 by RC

Surviving Biden

Posted on June 4, 2024 by RC

Remembering Tomorrow

Posted on May 31, 2024 by RC

Ideas have consequences. It is absolutely true that as a man thinks in his heart, so he is (Prov. 23:7). It is also true, however, that God is true, and every man a liar (Rom. 3:4). That is why the … Continue reading →

Critics Anonymous, or, Sgt. Carter’s Wisdom

Posted on May 30, 2024 by RC

Criticism has its place. Paul did it. Jesus did it. The prophets did it. Sometimes critics are out of line, falsely accusing. Judas did it. The devil does it. False prophets do it. Then there are those who don’t criticize … Continue reading →

Can a Christian over-repent?

Posted on May 27, 2024 by RC

Yes and no. There is a perspective out there, driven I suspect more by psychology than theology, that looks down its nose at what is sometimes called “worm theology.” It suggests that we can be too down on ourselves, that … Continue reading →

Growing Younger

Posted on May 24, 2024 by RC

I suspect it is a nearly universal phenomenon— we look in the mirror and wonder what happened. We are no longer what we once were. Worse still, we don’t recognize ourselves in what we have become. When we are young, … Continue reading →

Seek First

Posted on May 21, 2024 by RC

It’s a pretty simple concept that we let slip too easily out of our hands, because it reveals our weaknesses. The concept is this- when the Bible warns us against something, there’s a pretty good chance we’ll be tempted to … Continue reading →

Every Man a Churchman

Posted on May 17, 2024 by RC

It is no surprise that a culture with a low view of theology would in turn have a low ecclesiology (doctrine of the church). The theos, after all, is rather tightly bound together with the ekklésia. Dismiss one and you … Continue reading →
