Of Mice and Men

Posted on November 18, 2022 by RC

Giving Offense

Posted on November 17, 2022 by RC

When the world embraces as truth the postmodern notion that all truth claims are a hidden exercise of power we ought not to be surprised when counter-offensives come in the form of self-victimization. OK, let me try that again. When … Continue reading →

We’re So Vain

Posted on November 15, 2022 by RC

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 →

Election Results

Posted on November 10, 2022 by RC

That truism masquerading as tender wisdom from on high, that Jesus is not a Republican or a Democrat, likely conceals more than it reveals. As a truism, it is true. Jesus doesn’t check a party’s platform to see where He … Continue reading →

Conquering the World

Posted on November 4, 2022 by RC

Idols for Distraction

Posted on November 3, 2022 by RC

I’m old, old enough to remember party lines, person-to-person long distance calls and rotary phones. I remember when cordless phones were new and exciting. I’m old enough to remember being called to a ministry wide meeting wherein we were all … Continue reading →

Made This Way

Posted on November 1, 2022 by RC

All Authority

Posted on October 28, 2022 by RC
