Some Dance to Forget
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

Winning the Battle, Losing the War

New Theses, New Reformation
Thesis 39 We must model for our children how to be hard-resting and joyful. It is something of a yuppie cliché, that we ought to work hard and play hard. Like many clichés, this one latches on to at least … Continue reading

Walking Toward Perfection
I have suggested in the past that we ought, when tempted toward pride in our own spiritual maturity, take an honest look at how far we have to go, at the great gap between where we are and where we … Continue reading
