Christian Nationalism

Posted on March 21, 2024 by RC

My father told a lot of jokes. That’s what dads do. One I remember goes like this. There was a monk that had allowed nicotine to get ahold of him. Given the amount of time spent in prayer he thought … Continue reading →

Rest Indeed

Posted on March 15, 2024 by RC

Though it comes rather early in the story, I am convinced that Genesis 3:15 is not just the hinge of the Bible, but it is the very hinge of history. It is there that God responds to the serpent’s assault … Continue reading →

Alice in Negative World

Posted on March 14, 2024 by RC

Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care? There is a group of mostly younger thinkers who have embraced a paradigm that affirms that the broader culture’s relationship to Christians has gone from one generally positive … Continue reading →

May the Best Man Win

Posted on March 8, 2024 by RC

It begins, I suspect, with a far too small view of the fall. There is plenty we lament about that dark day in history’s most beautiful spot. We know that sin brought division to Adam and Eve. The two were … Continue reading →

Fighting From Freedom

Posted on February 27, 2024 by RC

I have, on more than one occasion, taught a class on dystopian novels. We’ve read Brave New World, 1984, That Hideous Strength and more. I always ask my class “Why do these men, the rulers over these dark and domineering … Continue reading →

The World and All

Posted on February 9, 2024 by RC

The Sadducees and Pharisees were no dummies. They just weren’t as smart as their enemy. As we read through the gospel accounts, it seems their strategy was simple: they would put an end to Jesus by forcing Him to destroy … Continue reading →

Christos Ho Kurios

Posted on February 6, 2024 by RC

Rome could not help but trip over her own feet. When you get the gospel wrong the error does not stay hermetically sealed, leaving everything else safe. Rather, the whole ship goes down. Rome, seeking to elevate the church, created … Continue reading →

Interesting Times

Posted on January 26, 2024 by RC

Everything Old Is New

Posted on January 12, 2024 by RC

We are, I believe, dispensationalists by nature. That is, dispensationalism has so dominated the evangelical church over the past one hundred years, boldly and faithfully standing on the inerrancy of the Word of God when so many turned their backs, … Continue reading →

God Bless Us Every One

Posted on December 21, 2023 by RC

There is a reason that churches are full on Christmas. It is that time of year that even the heathen crash we believers’ party over the incarnation of Christ. It’s rather like Americans in 1943 celebrating Pearl Harbor. I suspect … Continue reading →
