Why Are You Here?
What makes less ‘sense’: A Christian Pirate A Christian Samurai or a Christian Financial Planner? G.K. Chesterton wrote in Orthodoxy: “Christianity even when watered down is hot enough to boil all modern society to rags. The mere minimum of the Church would be a deadly ultimatum to the world.” Obviously that isn’t true of Anne Rice’s ‘Christianity,’ but is it... Continue Reading →
The Career Father
My adventures as a freelancer have brought me back to the place 'between clients.' The point where we trust God's providence for our daily bread fully - as we ought to always - because efforts at the moment feel particularly in vain.

In fact, it seems to have originated in the forward to the 1983 edition of that book, written by James Clavell - someone who is just as qualified to remark on the subject... Continue Reading →
Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin, and Charity
A graphic recently came up on facebook with a quote from Christian comedian Mark Lowry. "Love the sinner, hate the sin? How about: Love the sinner, hate your own sin!

Why Our Faith Must Grow With Our Fears
My kids were watching VeggieTales again, and as I walked into the room I heard Junior Asparagus explaining to his father why he was no longer afraid of the 'monsterous fears' he was having earlier in the episode of "Where's God When I'm Scared." As Junior explained that not only was God bigger than... Continue Reading →
