Blood in the Streets

Posted on June 17, 2020 by RC

What would you say to Derek Chauvin?

Posted on June 1, 2020 by RC

Repent and believe the gospel. Which is precisely what I would have said to George Floyd, had I the opportunity. Which doesn’t in the least suggest a moral equivalency between the actions of the two. It does, however, suggest a … Continue reading →

Our Prideful Humility, or Inheriting the Wind

Posted on May 15, 2020 by RC

Tim Keller’s excellent The Prodigal God not only potently draws our attention to the oft-missed second half, the story of the elder brother, but it potently answers a question I have long struggled with. What are the implications of the … Continue reading →

Ask RC- Why is the church so full of pretense?

Posted on May 8, 2020 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 →

Selling Our Souls

Posted on May 7, 2020 by RC

It is, according to CS Lewis, one of the most potent pulls into sin, the desire to belong. Were Maslow a bit more honest in ranking our “needs” I suspect the approval of others would make the top five of … Continue reading →

Posted on May 6, 2020 by RC

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 →

Posted on April 8, 2020 by RC

God is in the business of tearing down our idols. We, because we are yet sinners, desperately seek to prove Jesus wrong, to successfully serve two masters. But our Master won’t have it. He will not share His glory with … Continue reading →

Jesus’ Fools Day

Posted on April 1, 2020 by RC

It is a wise quip, albeit one built on an urban legend, that April Fool’s Day is the national holiday for atheists. The Bible tells us that the fool says in his heart that there is no God (Psalm 14:1). … Continue reading →
