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 →

#JesusToo

Posted on August 1, 2023 by RC

We are all rather quick to lay claim to the title “victim.” The truth is we are all victims. Every mother’s son of us has, at one time or another, been the victim of someone else’s sins against us. It … Continue reading →

Faux Pearls

Posted on July 18, 2023 by RC

Maslow was wrong. Well, he was right before he was wrong. It is true enough that we all have a hierarchy of needs. Some things are more important than others. Trouble is, he didn’t know what the most important things … Continue reading →

Smart is Not a Fruit

Posted on July 14, 2023 by RC

Leave it to Reformed people to miss the point. When Paul describes the body of Christ as a body, part of which includes hands, ears, and so forth, we are quick to mark our territory — we are the brain … Continue reading →

Pilgrims to the Promised Land

Posted on July 13, 2023 by RC

I doubt there are many believers who don’t want to go. I believe there are fewer still who have gone and aren’t glad they did. I doubt as well, however, that those who haven’t gone know well enough what they … Continue reading →
