Jesus Changes Everything

Beauty and the Best

Posted on December 9, 2022 by RC

Every Man a Liar

Posted on December 8, 2022 by RC

People lie. Cretans lie. Anglos lie. African Americans lie. Accusers lie. The accused lie. Friends of both lie. One of the things we lie about is what we truly believe. Those who say that racism is dead are lying. Those … Continue reading →

The Scandal of the Gospel

Posted on December 6, 2022 by RC

Our Mission? Submission

Posted on December 2, 2022 by RC

It is a rather tedious and tiresome thing to pull the legs out from under our national confession. Our country’s creed is not just internally inconsistent, nor is it just incomprehensible, it is both these things. That is, it does … Continue reading →

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 →

Chickens, Eggs and Roman Catholicism

Posted on November 22, 2022 by RC
