Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Even though this name has been so misused, misapplied, and misappropriated throughout history.
Today, I presented this sermon to the church body where I attend. It took 22 minutes to present, but a lifetime to learn the truth of this message. Fill in gaps as you read, and you can hear God speaking clearly.
What did Jesus mean when He told Nicodemus that he must be “born again”? Join us as we explore Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus. Discover why the concept was so difficult for Nicodemus to grasp and why we also sometimes struggle with the truth that is so central to the Christian faith.
The existence of God has been a topic of profound contemplation throughout human history. While opinions on the matter may differ, there are three powerful reasons that provide a compelling case for the existence of a divine being.
America, we need to remember how to disagree without hating one another. When I was growing up, many of my neighbors and friends were Democrats. My family was conservative and Republican. We disagreed. Sometimes we argued politics at the dinner table. But when the weekend came, we still went swimming together, canoeing together, watching movies together, eating together, and living as neighbors. Political disagreement did not require hatred. It did not require destroying friendships. It did not require treating half the country as enemies.
The six-pointed star did not begin as the Star of David. For centuries, it was associated with the legendary Seal of Solomon, a symbol tied to stories of hidden wisdom and supernatural power. Over time, the same geometry took on a very different meaning, becoming the enduring emblem of Jewish identity, survival, and national restoration. The lines never changed. The story did. And that is the secret behind every powerful symbol: it is not the shape itself that moves people, but the history, faith, and identity carried within it.
We had a three-hour layover in Santiago de Compostela where we had nothing to do but sit in an outdoor cafe, downtown, watching hordes of pilgrims arrive at the cathedral and publicly rejoice in Santiago Square.
The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States specifies: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of …
The ancients called this place the end of the world. And that’s what they believed it was.

Out of the darkness and into the light is a metaphorical phrase that means moving from despair, sadness, or negativity to a state of happiness, peace and positivity. It often describes a personal journey of overcoming challenges and finding renewal.
Ancient alien theory didn’t emerge from hard evidence—it was stitched together by imaginative authors like Erich von Däniken and Zecharia Sitchin, who took fragments of ancient texts, ignored actual linguistic scholarship, and filled the gaps with cosmic fan fiction. What followed was not discovery, but duplication—a self-reinforcing echo chamber amplified by media like Ancient Aliens, where speculation is recycled until it feels like fact. The result is a modern mythology dressed in the language of science, asking us to believe that early humans couldn’t stack stones without extraterrestrial supervision, while simultaneously expecting us to reject the idea of a Creator as “unscientific.” It’s not that the evidence demands aliens—it’s that the narrative refuses God, and will accept almost anything else.
A faithful church grows not by human strength or pride, but by continually seeking God’s guidance and trusting Him to bring new life to both the congregation and the community.
In my previous two messages, I’ve shared the history of how Wisconsin Christian News came to be. Because we’re now praising the Lord for the start of our 27th year of publishing, I wanted to share with you what this journey has been like.
The word “trees” shows up more than 200 times in the Bible. Discover why it may not just be “the heavens that declare the glory of God” but also trees.
Michael S. Heiser spent years pointing out the awkward truth that the modern, pre-tribulation “rapture” isn’t ancient doctrine rediscovered—it’s a relatively recent theological invention. The system most people assume is baked into the Bible shows up centuries late, largely tied to John Nelson Darby and the 19th-century appetite for tidy timelines. That doesn’t make it automatically false. But it should make you nervous about treating it like first-century Christianity.
Define American. Is it any person on planet Earth resides in the U.S. who simply shares a set of ideas – an American Creed? Or, is based on “blood and soil” connections by birth and ancestry? It definitely isn’t the Ethno-nationalism of a “Whites Only” America, because our America became multi-racial in 1619 when English …
What is God?
This single question underpins all things on the Camino de Santiago, a trail inhabited by us full-time pilgrims whose lives are contained in backpacks.
Even in seasons of mental exhaustion and spiritual dryness, God remains faithful, offering rest, grace, and quiet strength to weary hearts.
