Even a lot of non-Christians know about Judas. He’s the guy who betrayed Jesus. An act that led to Jesus’ crucifixion. Something that had to happen. The crucifixion, that is. Without it, there’s no payment for our sins, no salvation, no resurrection, and no eternity in Heaven. So it’s all ...

Christianity Today just asked a really interesting question – Was the U.S. never really a Christian country, or was US Christianity corrupted by politics? If you’ve read much of my stuff, you likely realize I say that with our entanglement of religion and government, we’ve never been a truly Christian ...

Don't waste your cancer. Use it to help others. I wish I could take credit for the title. I borrowed it from a short booklet called Don't waste your cancer, by John Piper. It's true for more than "just" cancer, not that cancer is a small thing. Rather, my point ...

“The LORD Said. I Think. Oops! That Was Me!”  Yeah, that really happens.  I do wish I could take credit for my title, but I can't.  It's from a book by T. F. Tenney, titled The Lord Said-- Or Was That Me: Some More Advice Unasked For And Seldom Heeded.  I'll hopefully ...

The Way Back Home.  But the way back home from where?  And to where?  I first wrote this one back on October 25, 2013. I cried when I wrote it. It still makes me cry. Even when I hear this song now, it's got a whole added meaning to it ...

Is condemnation in Christianity a you problem? While out walking this afternoon, there were two people across the street from me that were so loud you couldn’t help but hear them. Given COVID concerns right now, I’m glad they were on the other side of the street! Anyway, the relevant ...

I was going for a walk the other day and had this thought -what can Christians can learn from political parties? It's amazing what we think about while walking our furry friends. Like Donnie, the little guy below. I know, it sounds crazy. Especially from someone who keeps pointing out ...

Can Christians focus on Jesus now? Please? We all realize murder is wrong. What we don't seem to realize, haven't yet learned, is that every other unkind thing we do to each other is just as wrong! ...
