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. It is human to be spiritual. Now by “spiritual,” I as a Christian don’t thereby endorse the modern dogmatic allergy to, “organized religion”……..[Read More]
