Heart of the Savior In the heart of Jesus, a savior be His heavenly throne was naught to He His ears could hear only His children’s cry Our nature He took and exposed Satan’s lie In a town too small to be a clan From Ancient of Days our Ruler began In a lowly trough…
The Good in Good Friday
Good Friday. What is good about it? On the surface it appears to be the most monumental miscarriage of justice in all of history. It gives new meaning to cruel and inhumane. So we cry out, “What is good about this?!” But if you are a Christian, you have had your sight restored, and have…
The Scenario: A Story
Getting ready for the day, your mind is busy on thoughts of the numerous things that need to be done. Rushing to get through the morning tasks, there lies your Bible on the table with the sheet of paper for numerous prayer requests, undisturbed for a few frantic days now. That can be done later is your reasoning. The Lord is certainly sympathetic.
The Babylon Bee and Elon Musk: When Comedy Becomes Cowardice
"We're wondering if you could do us a quick solid and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior." No, not a line from a Babylon Bee article, but an actual quote from the interview the Bee did with Elon Musk recently. Oh, boy. This one has me riled up. I know I'm behind the curve…

Synchronization of culture and Christianity is NOT an option in the…
The Immovable Object: An Easter Poem
This, the paradox: What happens when An irresistible force Meets an immovable object?
How Well Do You Understand the Trinity (Quiz)?
I don't think it's unfair to say that many Christians have significant gaps in their understanding of the doctrine of the Trinity. Chalk it up to a slew of bad analogies: the three parts of an egg, the three forms of water, the three-leaf clover. While these examples seek to clarify God's nature, they do…
The Sovereignty of God in Negro Spirituals
It’s Black History month and with it comes not only the remembrance of fearless black leaders like Frederick Douglas, Harriet Tubman, and Martin Luther King, but remembrance of the centuries of indescribable cruelty and persecution blacks suffered under the yoke of slavery and segregation. I write this post not to rehash those awful events but…
