People of the Feast, or, Seaing the Holiday

Posted on April 25, 2020 by RC

Believing the Invisible

Posted on April 3, 2020 by RC

We are all tempted to be practical deists. The deists were the poster children for god-of-the-gaps theology. That is, because they wanted the universe to make sense, but didn’t want to have to answer to the living God, they posited … Continue reading →

One Giant Leap- Or, Reading Providence with Dyslexia

Posted on March 27, 2020 by RC

It is a good thing to affirm the sovereignty of God over all things. God delights in the truth and we ought to draw the deepest comfort from it. It is right and proper to understand that His sovereignty is … Continue reading →

Looking for Love

Posted on March 25, 2020 by RC

How important it is to not allow our grasp of man’s total depravity to cause us to miss the remnants of the image of God in us. We are plenty bad. Sin touches every part of our being, and makes … Continue reading →

Myth Made Fact

Posted on March 14, 2020 by RC

Comfort Ye My People

Posted on March 12, 2020 by RC
