The Lord Giveth, and the Lord Taketh Away
Though He is the potter and we are but clay, this does not keep us from complaining about our station. When the God of heaven and earth, the One who made all things, asks if the clay will ask of … Continue reading

Remembering Tomorrow
Ideas have consequences. It is absolutely true that as a man thinks in his heart, so he is (Prov. 23:7). It is also true, however, that God is true, and every man a liar (Rom. 3:4). That is why the … Continue reading

Can a Christian over-repent?
Yes and no. There is a perspective out there, driven I suspect more by psychology than theology, that looks down its nose at what is sometimes called “worm theology.” It suggests that we can be too down on ourselves, that … Continue reading

In the Garden
It was one of those moments when the things I learned in one part of God’s world intersected and harmonized with something I learned in another part, all beautified by artistic genius. I had already come to understand the wisdom … Continue reading

Paradise Restored
There are any number of ways to capture the glory of Eden. Because it is a garden paradise, we can focus on its bucolic nature. Bereft of thorns and thistles, fruitful and beautiful, it is the ideal location, designed for … Continue reading

What’s with all the homesteading stuff?
I recognize that these pieces get read through various and sundry venues. In addition to rcsprouljr.com, I post links on social media, including the Facebook I share with Lisa. You may have seen there any number of live films and … Continue reading
