Power Preaching

Posted on August 17, 2023 by RC

All those who preach want their preaching to have impact. I suspect that in all those who preach, this desire is born of a mixture of two other desires, the desire to have congregants and the kingdom blessed, and the … Continue reading →

Conscientious Objecting- Choosing Your Twitter War Wisely

Posted on August 15, 2023 by RC

Either/or either works, or it doesn’t. Sometimes we really do have to pick our poison. Other times we find ourselves being roped into a false dilemma, and escape through a tertium quid, a third option. Joshua asked the Captain of … Continue reading →

Castles in the Sand

Posted on August 11, 2023 by RC

Taking Our Losses

Posted on August 10, 2023 by RC

I’m not as much of a twitter warrior, or I suppose X-man might now be the term, than I once was. The medium I love, with its character limitations driving us more toward the poetic than the precise and careful. … Continue reading →

Five Common Expressions I’ve Never Understood

Posted on August 8, 2023 by RC

Heralding the Good News

Posted on August 4, 2023 by RC

It is false to say that what we don’t know can’t hurt us, especially when it comes to the Bible. If ever there were anything we need to know, it is the very Word of God. That said, what is … Continue reading →

Ensnared in Their Own Net

Posted on August 3, 2023 by RC

It’s not something I’m terribly proud of, but while I was in high school I read a dozen or more novels by Taylor Caldwell. I can’t remember why, which isn’t a good sign. Among those novels, however, one remains firmly … Continue reading →

#JesusToo

Posted on August 1, 2023 by RC

Someone is Wrong on the Internet

Posted on July 28, 2023 by RC

It takes two to tango, and that doesn’t even include the band. Our choices, our behaviors, are rarely as discreet as we think they are. Not only do our decisions bleed into our other decisions, they touch on other people’s … Continue reading →

Not With Flesh and Blood

Posted on July 27, 2023 by RC

It’s always a good thing to remember that when the Bible reminds us of something it’s likely because we are prone to forget. Given God’s absolute authority, anything He says once is sufficiently compelling that we have a duty to … Continue reading →
