The Work of the Ministry and the Ministry of Work

Posted on September 27, 2024 by RC

I give thanks for my seminary education. All that time and energy devoted to studying the Scriptures revealed, among many other things, that the Bible says not the first word about seminary. It does, however, tell us a thing or … Continue reading →

Living in a World Gone Mad: Lovers of Death

Posted on September 26, 2024 by RC

Sometimes the Bible says things with such simple clarity that it shakes us from our slumbers. Evil’s presence has numbed us, making us miss the obvious. We believe, for instance, that we do not have an established religion in our … Continue reading →

Murdering Miracles- Unraveling What God Is Knitting Together

Posted on September 24, 2024 by RC

It is, in one sense, a simple enough question to answer. When you remember that we are wicked enough to murder our own children it makes sense that we are also wicked enough to not be terribly concerned about the … Continue reading →

Posted on September 23, 2024 by RC

Not a thing, if we mean by “house church” a church that meets in a house. One can make all manner of arguments about the best architectural forms for public worship, but no one, I suspect, would suggest that this … Continue reading →

Jesus Christ Superstar: The Folly Of Pop Icon-ography

Posted on September 20, 2024 by RC

The biggest oxymoron in Hollywood may well be this one: Bad publicity. In our age, what they say about you no longer matters, as long as they are talking about you. Face time is what it’s all about. In the … Continue reading →

Joy in All Times, All Places, All Circumstances

Posted on September 19, 2024 by RC

Just because someone says you’re guilty of something doesn’t mean you are. The world is swift to lay a charge that we are “judgmental.” They do so any time we seek to remind them of what God says about this … Continue reading →

No Accounting- The Glory of His Law Story

Posted on September 13, 2024 by RC

There’s no accounting for taste. Or to put it another way, the taste has reasons that reason knows not of. We like what we like, and we don’t like having to explain it. Which is why postmodernism fits us so … Continue reading →

Turning the Mirror Around, Hiding From the Ugly

Posted on September 12, 2024 by RC

Not only do we remain, in ourselves, sinners, when by His grace we are declared to be saints, but we tend to be, after being born again, repenting and being indwelt by the Spirit, the same kind of sinners we … Continue reading →

Humble Lie and the Peace that Ever Eludes Us

Posted on September 10, 2024 by RC

The devil, though His fall from grace was rooted in pride, knows how to use humility. Being craftier than the other beasts, he knows how to use nigh onto all things to bring about his nefarious purposes. He is resourceful, … Continue reading →

Why is the evangelical church so full of pretense?

Posted on September 9, 2024 by RC

I’m no behaviorist, but I don’t need to be to understand this truth- that which you punish you get less of, and what you reward you get more of. We don’t like punishment, and seek to avoid it. We do … Continue reading →
