Good News

Posted on November 25, 2022 by RC

I’ve got great news — I just saved a bundle on my car insurance. This pop-cultural punchline might just expose a real problem we have in our Christian sub-culture: we don’t know what the good news is. The confusion, from … Continue reading →

Of Mice and Men

Posted on November 18, 2022 by RC

To suggest that wisdom is always balanced seems to me to be a bit, well, unbalanced. Whoever first uttered the words of wisdom, “moderation in all things,” should, I believe, have healed himself. All things? Isn’t that a bit extreme? … Continue reading →

Some Dance to Forget

Posted on November 11, 2022 by RC

It is a sure sign of the fall that we so egregiously miss what we lost. Jesus calls us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness precisely because our priorities are all out of line. Even that … Continue reading →

Conquering the World

Posted on November 4, 2022 by RC

Thomas Aquinas was a great gift to the church. He stands among the greatest minds the world has ever known. This doesn’t mean, of course, that he did not have his flaws, one of which goes to the heart of … Continue reading →

Made This Way

Posted on November 1, 2022 by RC

No one should be surprised, though of course it makes no sense, when unbelievers complain about God’s judgment. Romans 1 tells us that they know God is, they know He is almighty, and they know they are in for it. … Continue reading →

Back to the Garden

Posted on September 14, 2022 by RC

As a grade school child my conception of cool included too tight silk shirts and blue jeans with more flair than Liberace. I even had my own polyester jumpsuit. I looked like a cross between Howdy Doody and Elvis, in … Continue reading →

Our Greatest Weapon

Posted on July 7, 2022 by RC

It was a wise man who first noted that there is nothing new under the sun. Sadly, Solomon seemed to sigh his way through this observation, wistfully longing for something new. We, if we were wise, would rejoice in this … Continue reading →

The Judge of all the Earth

Posted on July 5, 2022 by RC

I have to confess. I’m not saying it was the healthiest thing in the world to do, but boy did I loved doing it. It would be evening, and I’d turn on my television looking for what I artfully called … Continue reading →

Suffer the Children

Posted on June 23, 2022 by RC

I have spent years encouraging us to set aside our petty amusements, to put behind us the distractions of vanity fair, to throw off the sloth that luxuriates in the status quo. Like some spiritual drill sergeant I have been … Continue reading →

Riding the Storm Out

Posted on June 21, 2022 by RC

In my lifetime I have lived in San Francisco, Kansas, and Florida. I have experienced an earthquake, a tornado and a hurricane. The odd thing is that I experienced all three while living in Pennsylvania. I’m a fan of weather. … Continue reading →
