Multiple Stops on the My Ways/Your Ways Highway

Status Report: Measuring Ourselves By Ourselves
We are fools. That’s a good starting point. Every mother’s son of us was made in the image of God. We are all together by nature children of wrath. Our heavenly Father is remaking those of us who have been … Continue reading

Children: A Precious Blessing From the Lord
It’s a staple of pastoral humor. You can pretty much count on some quip coming from the pulpit when summer vacation starts, bemoaning the burden of children home from school, and when it ends, celebrating the blessing of shipping children … Continue reading

A Chosen Race, a Royal Priesthood, a Holy Nation
The serpent, more cunning than any of the beasts of the field, is a counterfeiter. His wily custom is to not merely construct an alternate realm to Christ’s realm. No, he crafts every piece of that realm as a copy … Continue reading

He Puts the Lonely in Families: Psalm 68:6
Most every night I gather my precious wife and our two still-at-home sons for prayer before bed. Many nights I pray in thanksgiving for God’s very specific grace in all four of our lives, that He puts the lonely in … Continue reading

Kenning Kin Cons, or, Lining Outside the Colors
There are two kinds of people in the world, those who divide the world into two kinds of people, and those who do not. I’m both. There is one kind of people, two kinds of people, three kinds of people … Continue reading

To and From, or Into Our Father’s Open Arms
It may be the most overlooked moment of deep horror in all of the Bible. Not the eating of the fruit itself. Plenty of horror there, but it’s not overlooked. Rather it was the response of our first parents to … Continue reading
