Faith in the In-Between
In the silent, confusing days after the Crucifixion, the disciples wrestled with grief, fear, and doubt—yet God was already preparing the resurrection they could not yet see.
Faith
What a small price to pay
What does it mean to you to be a Christian? When you hear someone say they’re a “Christian,” what does that actually mean? Does it mean they attend a church on a regular basis? Does it mean they grew up in a Christian family and believe in God? Does it mean they once prayed a “sinner’s prayer” — perhaps as a child at summer camp? I ask these things because when people tell me they’re a “Christian,” I have to wonder, because “being a Christian” doesn’t seem to mean what it used to mean.

Helping you connect with God. Every day. Every way.
Men Striving for Godliness: Architects of Order or Architects of Chaos?
In the quest to emulate godly attributes, men often find themselves at a crossroads: to transform chaos into order or to unleash chaos upon order. This dichotomy, inspired by the insights of scholar Michael Heiser but infused with my own perspective, delves into the essence of human nature and the paths we choose.
The Prophet of the Publix Parking Lot
“Yeah, I got a story for you,” said the old woman in the nursing home.
She had midnight skin, dandelion-fuzz hair, and she smoked Newports. Each day she liked to park her wheelchair in the parking lot where she could face the supermarket, and watch all the happy customers walk in and out of Publix.
Happy Easter 2026!
Usually, Sunday is when I pen (actually peck out) my weekly Op Ed. What else should be written on Easter, other than Easter? It’s the singularly greatest event since the creation of the Universe. The point in time and space when the Creator of the Universe reconciled His created beings to Himself. The Creator becoming one of his creations in the Incarnation is huge, but not as big as the Resurrection.
The Progressive Transformation of the Democrat Party, 1956–2024 Robert Conquest’s Second Law was the mechanism
Robert Conquest’s Second Law of Politics states: “Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.” The corollary logic is that progressive activists, being more ideologically motivated than moderates, systematically infiltrate, outlast, and eventually dominate institutions — whether universities, media organizations, NGOs, professional associations, or political parties.

Paid in Full—And Then Some
Because Jesus declared tetelestai—“it is finished”—we can live in the freedom of a salvation that is fully accomplished, not partially earned.
The Atheists of 250 A.D.
The year is 250 A.D. It’s Good Friday. Although, technically, there is no “Good Friday.” Not for another hundred years.
Crime Fills the Streets Of America
At the heart of this crisis lies the disintegration of the family. In God’s grand design, the family has been the primary institution for teaching right from wrong, instilling discipline, and modeling love and respect.
Hosanna!
It’s Palm Sunday, or Passion Sunday, a day of celebration! But why do we celebrate the soon-to-take-place Crucifixion of our Lord?
A World That Won’t Listen
In a world filled with moral confusion and noise, the book of Isaiah reminds us that God is still speaking—and our greatest need is to listen.
Wise Old Words
“My son, Jason, is getting married on Friday, and I am responsible for his wedding toast. I’d like some wisdom to pass on, the only problem is, I don’t have any.”
Quiet Courage in the Story of Moses
Though Moses stands at the center of the Exodus story, the quiet faithfulness of Miriam and Zipporah reminds us that God often advances His plans through people whose brief appearances carry lasting significance.
The Wilderness: Not Punishment, But Preparation
Lent is a forty-day wilderness season that echoes the many forty-day periods in Scripture—especially Jesus’ time in the desert—reminding us that fasting and self-denial are not punishment but God’s way of strengthening us and drawing us closer to Him.
Faith Gave Us Civil Harmony. Will Secularism Destroy It?
After 80 years of testing self-governance with God at arm’s length, it should be obvious that we can have social order with faith, or secularism with chaos, but we cannot have peaceful coexistence without accepting our place in the universe – subservient to a higher being.
The Interface, the Code, and the War: Why Christianity Becomes Offensive
Some of the sharpest minds of the last century sensed the reductionist story was missing something. Carl Jung looked inward and saw conflict. The ego — the conscious “I” — wants control, moral self-justification, narrative dominance. It insists on sovereignty. Jung recognized the ego was not the whole self and that something beyond it pressed inward, demanding humility and reordering. He called that pressure the “Self.” He diagnosed the tension correctly. He simply refused to name the external authority behind it.
Retirement—the Best Club of All
Growing older—and even retiring—isn’t the end of purpose but a new season where God continues to give joy, wisdom, and plenty of reasons to laugh.
The utter idiocy of anti-Semitism
Carrie Prejean Boller is a very attractive young lady with a very ugly soul. She claims to be a Roman Catholic, but I have to ask: is her Bible just one of those small New Testaments that the Gideons leave in hotel nightstands? Does she cover her ears during the first reading on Sunday Mass, …
