A Christian is a Sign to the Culture
Sunday Afternoon Musings As every news cycle demonstrates, we are living in an increasingly violent and merciless culture. This morning on the drive to church, we heard the news report of a local 15 year-old, arrested for murder. It wasn’t the first time that the news reported an under-aged murder. In fact, remembering some other … More A Christian is a Sign to the Culture
Finding Glory in Mundane Places
Great quote I had to pass on: I’m not sure where I was reading. Can’t remember if it was a commentary or The Institutes or a biography, but I love this quote from John Calvin. It is reminder to my soul that there is always more to see than my first glance gives. There is … More Finding Glory in Mundane Places
There is Such a Thing as Glory
While meditating on Psalm 105, some simple lines to remind my soul that there is such a thing as glory. With apologies to Rich Mullin, there is glory in every page of Scripture if we rightly discern its subject. However circuitious, the subject is always Christ.

Tuesday Reflections Some time ago a visitor to my BLOG said that Christians were among the most immoral people they know. It got me thinking. I asked the young interlocutor, “Do you really mean that? Or is this a piece of hyperbole thrown out in frustration?” Personally, I don’t get it. Yes, I know so-called Christians … More Christianity: Still the Worlds Best Hope
Sometimes “I Swear there Must be Blisters on My Heart”
Musing on a Friday Morning Downloaded the complete works of E.M. Bounds on prayer to my Kindle last week. Started reading Power Through Prayer two days ago. Nearly wrecked on every sentence. Conviction. Sorrow. Grief. But also hope, wisdom, and joy in the knowledge that God is not finished working out the life of Christ in me. … More Sometimes “I Swear there Must be Blisters on My Heart”
Longing For the King and the Kingdom
Wednesday is for Prayer Preaching on the Kingdom of God this month from Matthew 13. Couldn’t help but think about Rich Mullins song, The Other Side of the World. Here’s the lyrics followed by a video of Rich and the Ragamuffin Band. I miss Rich Mullins. Won’t it be great to see him again in heaven? … More Longing For the King and the Kingdom
