Knowing God through Suffering: Introduction, Part 1
“So, this is it. This is how I’m going to die,” I thought as I kneeled over the toilet in my underwear, waves of pain slamming my stomach. For the sixth time in two weeks I was experiencing unbearable pain, caused by the lemon-size tumor in my small bowel. What I...
When Jesus Says, “Mind Your Own Beeswax”
Teddy Roosevelt once said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” How true. How often does our contentment vanish when we see (what we perceive to be) the superior condition of another person. We lack nothing until that catalog arrives in the mail, and suddenly we are...
My Top 10 Reads of 2020
2020 was perhaps the best year of reading I can remember since 1980 when I was fourteen and read twenty Louis L’Amour books and the Hobbit for the first time. Not all these books were released in 2020, but these were my favorites (in no particular order). ...
“We Knew Mordor Was Real”: What It Takes for Christians to Survive under Totalitarianism
Rod Dreher’s new book, Live Not By Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents, includes many stories of Christians who survived life under the communist regime of the Soviet Union. One of those families, the Bendas, who lived in the Czech half of the communist...
How Did It Come to This? How our world got to the place where the statement, “I am a woman trapped in a man’s body” makes sense
Moments before his seemingly impregnable fortress is overrun by dark forces, Theoden, King of Rohan, in shock at the brutality and swift advance of the enemy, murmurs to himself, “Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed...
Roe v. Wade Was Decided (Partly) on Science Denial
In the Netflix documentary, Reversing Roe, at around the 28:00 mark, Sarah Weddington, the attorney who argued Roe v. Wade before the Supreme Court in 1973, recounts that during the case a justice asked her when she believed a human life begins. She responded, “Your...
Let’s Not Forget What Abortion Really Is
The issue of abortion has never been more contentious among Christians. I’m not referring to debates between Christians and non-Christians, but among those who profess to be followers of Jesus. So, let’s get back to the basics of what abortion is. A straightforward...
The Image is All We Need Anymore
Rational discourse is out. The process of justice that has anchored the Western world is out. Even waiting to get the whole story or see the official report is out. All we need is a video, carefully cropped by the Controllers (as C. S. Lewis called them), and...
Only the Christian Worldview Can Consistently Argue that Lives Matter
It’s strange isn’t it? The same people that teach children in school that they are nothing more than the products of blind time and chance reverse course and speak of dignity, rights, and justice when it’s convenient. The materialist view that is foisted upon us at...
If I am Guilty for Who I Am, the Gospel Is of No Benefit
This post is not going to go the way you think it will, so please read to the end. If I am guilty of something merely because I am white, there is no redemption for me. I cannot stop being white. White Guilt Now, I know that those who use the phrase “white guilt”...
Discerning between Injustice and Ideology: The Christian Third Way
The last few weeks have been a time of national agony. Agony for all who saw the video of the last eight minutes of George Floyd’s life and found themselves short of breath in sympathetic response. Agony for African Americans in seeing another brother needlessly...
It Would Be So Much Easier to “Believe the Science” If We Could Trust the Scientists
During this Corona Virus crisis those who have questioned the conclusions of scientists and the decrees of politicians have often been depicted as “science deniers,” a term most often assigned to anyone who questions the accepted pronouncements of climate change. As...
