Self as “God”

I’ve been reading through 1 and 2 Chronicles for Lent (yeah, an odd selection, I know—blame She Reads Truth). I’ve actually been loving it (once I got past the genealogies, that is). Reading account after account of the kings God put in place (or the people put in place despite…

The God Who Weeps With Us

For those feeling “greatly troubled” this Christmas. Jesus, too. When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled. And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”…

The Billy Graham Rule

The left is screaming misogyny while the right is upholding their “respect for their marriage vows”. I’m calling bologna on both. From the words of Billy Graham himself in his autobiography, “We all knew of evangelists who had fallen into immorality while separated from their families by travel. We pledged…

The Effeminate Jesus

It’s strange that we can be advanced on so many topics and technologies in 2022, yet there are still people who believe that emotions are weak and ungodly for leaders of the church. This was not a joke, friends. This tweet has blown up, as you can imagine. Here’s…

The Delusion of Not Wanting Kids

“Assuming you want children, and if you don’t, well, you probably will. And if you don’t, you’re either deluded or immature.” Just when I think maybe we’re getting better at embracing and loving people of different walks of life, I run into something like this video from Jordan Peterson and…

The Opposite of Pro-Choice

Pro-Life and Pro-Choice are not valid enough titles anymore for this conversation — in fact, I’m not sure they ever were. I would argue (as I hope most Americans would) that our political system has divided us more than anything, and the reality is, it’s not sufficient as it is.

Known By Our Love

By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. (John 13:35) There’s truth and there’s love. We treat them like they can’t co-exist, but they can, should, and must. The reality is truth without love exists, and it’s tearing our country…

What if the Gospel was Enough?

A response to the movie, Church People (and generally, a response to the Church) — SPOILER ALERT — Disclaimer — not all mega churches are the same, not all have leaders as portrayed in this movie, and these remarks are not directed at any specific church, rather at the big-C Church as a whole and the discoveries of mega-church shortcomings. It starts off with a Book Tour of…

“Is Cussing a Sin?”

The question was asked in such an innocent tone as the small group was wrapping up for the night. I paused, knowing there was probably a “right” way to answer that question. …

Not An American-Loving Christian

(Originally published July 1, 2020) As the media swirls around us every time we open our phones and wonder what is going to fall apart next, it can be so easy to lose faith, to lose hope. The more political comments I read, the less hope I have — even…
