We continue our Truth You Can Count On study. Tonight, 7:00, we confront Pilate’s cynical question- what is truth?. We stream it on Facebook Live (at the account Lisa and I share, RC-Lisa) for those who attend online. You can … Continue reading
What are some key idols in the evangelical church?
What sin did God’s people in the Old Testament most struggle with? You be surprised. We tend to focus on various sins of the flesh in our concerns about ourselves. And to be sure, our fathers in the faith fought … Continue reading
Bigger on the Inside than It Is on the Outside
The Bible is a book that is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. Look at it from one perspective, and it’s rather a small book. It occupies less space on a shelf than a dictionary. Some … Continue reading
Feed Me: War and the Singular Rise of Algorithms
Whatever its etymology may reveal, it remains revealing that what flows through my social media apps is called my “feed.” From the constant sight of all of us looking down at our phones, at our sites, it seems we’re all … Continue reading

Athens and Jerusalem, City of God and City of Man
What hath Jerusalem to do with Athens? Much in every way. On the negative side, we’d do well to remember that the citizens of God’s city, like those in the city of man, are still sinners. Though we are indwelt … Continue reading

Embracing Righteous Anger, While Maintaining Peace
“Judge not” is surely that text in all of Scripture that is most misunderstood outside the kingdom. Among believers we misunderstand Paul’s admonition to the Ephesians, “Be angry but do not sin” (Ephesians 4:26). We soundly conclude from this text … Continue reading

Rules For Our Reformation: Learning from Luther
The Protestant Reformation is called the Reformation for a good reason. It is not called the First Reformation or Reformation II, as if they happen every so often. I have never been asked, when referencing the Reformation, “Of which Reformation … Continue reading

How were people saved in the Old Testament?
The only way there is to be saved, by trusting in the work of Christ alone. Because God is just, sin must be punished. Because we are sinners, that is bad news for us. God’s promise to Adam and Eve, … Continue reading
