Posted on April 25, 2020 by RC

Posted on April 24, 2020 by RC

The Law of Grace, and the Grace of Law

Posted on April 22, 2020 by RC

Some call them “Nice Nazis.” These are those stormtroopers, some professing Christians, some not, who can be counted to race to the aid of the accused. That is, if I say, “It is wrong to do X” the “Nice Nazi” … Continue reading →

God’s Hammer

Posted on April 18, 2020 by RC

What Little Difference a Week Makes, or Another Good Friday

Posted on April 17, 2020 by RC

Remember when COVID-19 meant we were all going to have to stay at home for a week or two? Remember how scared we all were that we were all going to die? Remember how we were willing and ready to … Continue reading →

Liars ‘R’ Us

Posted on April 15, 2020 by RC

Liars gonna lie. That’s what we do. I, having been known to tell a lie from time to time, quite understand the temptation and the reality. What is harder for me to understand is why lying is so effective, why … Continue reading →

The Death of Dust

Posted on April 11, 2020 by RC

Posted on April 8, 2020 by RC

Believing the Invisible

Posted on April 3, 2020 by RC

We are all tempted to be practical deists. The deists were the poster children for god-of-the-gaps theology. That is, because they wanted the universe to make sense, but didn’t want to have to answer to the living God, they posited … Continue reading →
