Ravenous Sheep

Ask RC- Why is the church so full of phonies?
It is my habit when asked “Why is the church…” to look for what is often the obvious answer, that the problem is people, and not at all exclusive to the church. This is certainly true in this case, that … Continue reading

Unearned Praise
When I served as editor in chief of Tabletalk magazine I committed my share of gaffs. I received more than a few sweet natured but school-marmish notes about why this semi-colon should have been a colon, or why further was … Continue reading

Thesis 41 We must not discipline our children in anger. Paul encourages fathers to raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. He then warns us not to provoke our children to wrath. The serpent would have … Continue reading
