All These Happy Christians
I walk daily on a somewhat fine line between joy and depression. It’s not only my war with my sin and the near constant failures that are mine as a minister, a husband and a dad that make me repentant and sad so often (Romans 8:12-17) I’m sure it’s also a result of my calling……..[Read More]

It Is Quite Natural to Be Spiritual
I’ll be brief. I wanted to take a moment today to tell you that it’s quite human to be spiritual. Atheism, though it’s rightly AKA “naturalism,” is really not natural at all.
