The Silence of the Lambs

Posted on September 29, 2023 by RC

The world, Paul tells us, knows what’s coming. Romans 1 not only highlights the universal guilt of all men, but, ironically, defines that guilt as the denial of what we know. We know that there is a God and that … Continue reading →

Rabbits & Hats or, Money For Nothing & Your Checks for Free

Posted on September 26, 2023 by RC

The heart of magic is misdirection. Sure, there are specially made tools of the trade. There is well-trained prestidigitation. There are moments of art and flourish. The magic, however, is to get the audience to look one direction while you … Continue reading →

The Prodigal Father

Posted on September 22, 2023 by RC

When I served as editor-in-chief of Tabletalk magazine, I committed my share of gaffes. I received more than my share of sweet-natured but school-marmish notes about why this semicolon should have been a colon, or why further was the better … Continue reading →

The Sole Soul of the Solas

Posted on September 15, 2023 by RC

It puzzles me deeply that so few are puzzled deeply by the paradox. We are so used to the befuddling language that we miss its befuddling nature. It ought to stop us in our tracks and arrest our attention, like … Continue reading →

What three questions should a believer ask for better life?

Posted on September 11, 2023 by RC

Of course the most important questions are those that help move us, by the power of the Holy Spirit, from being an unbeliever to being a believer. A better life now is just more judgment on the horrific eternity of … Continue reading →

Smile, God Loves You

Posted on September 5, 2023 by RC

In one of his rare less gentle moments with a pen, my father once began an article in Tabletalk magazine this way, “Smile, God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. Unless your name is Esau.” While … Continue reading →

Seeing Beyond The Shadowlands

Posted on August 29, 2023 by RC

It has long been my contention that the Reformed church never quite got over the Enlightenment. While we rightly reject this premise and that conclusion at the heart of the Enlightenment experiment, we still drink deep of its spirit. We … Continue reading →

Power Preaching

Posted on August 17, 2023 by RC

All those who preach want their preaching to have impact. I suspect that in all those who preach, this desire is born of a mixture of two other desires, the desire to have congregants and the kingdom blessed, and the … Continue reading →

Do you believe in aliens?

Posted on August 7, 2023 by RC

Like, non-human, not-from-here intelligent beings? Of course I do, as does every Bible believer. Some suggest that given the size of the universe it is likely that aliens exist. Others suggest that since the Bible says nothing about aliens they … Continue reading →

Heralding the Good News

Posted on August 4, 2023 by RC

It is false to say that what we don’t know can’t hurt us, especially when it comes to the Bible. If ever there were anything we need to know, it is the very Word of God. That said, what is … Continue reading →
