We’ve been through a lot together, you and I. You were always there, no matter how horrible things got. I remember as a young child, making mud-pies in the back yard, and feeling your unmistakable presence. I promised you then, that whenever I talked to myself, I was actually talking to you. My childhood became a prayer, and with a …
Reactionary Atheism: When Evil Is Bigger Than God
Some of the most pain-riddled people you will ever encounter will call themselves atheists. While some atheists are calmly secure in their unbelief, others lash out at Christians with vehemence. I call these people, “reactionary atheists,” because often they do in fact believe in God. I know this because they are so very angry at him. I do not say …
What A 3,000 Year Old Poem Has To Say About Trump, Clinton, & Modern Politics
As I read through the Pslams with the girls, I am often struck by how relevant they are to our modern political and cultural plight. This of course should not be surprising, since the human hand that penned them was inspired and directed by a divine author who has known us heart and soul since before the dawn of time. Today I read …
A Christian Response To The Orlando Massacre & Christina Grimmie Shooting
The news out of Orlando this week has been both terrifying and heartbreaking. In addition to the Pulse nightclub massacre, Christian singer Christina Grimmie was shot while signing autographs after her concert. The two stories are separate. The killers were different people with different beliefs and different agendas. The victims were diverse; of different religions, lifestyles, ages, and races. Nevertheless, …
The First Time I Spoke With God
I remember it so well. I was about 4 or 5 years old, and I was playing in the dirt in my backyard in Memphis, Tennessee. I remember scooping dirt with a spoon, and putting it in a little cup, and I thinking, “God, I don’t pray very often, and I can’t read yet, so I can’t read the Bible.”
BREAKING: Mysterious Code Discovered in Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa Painting
Scholarly art researchers at The Louvre museum in Paris have come upon a startling discovery. While studying Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci’s famous work, the Mona Lisa, they noticed what appears to be a complex code or diagram. In the texture of the painting’s surface are recurring imprints that could not have been created using a paintbrush, knife, or other …
Does Worry Mean I Lack Faith? Pregnancy & Fear of Miscarriage
I haven’t felt the baby in 2 days … I know that’s normal at 16 – 17 weeks but I’m so much more scared that something will go wrong with this pregnancy. I think part of it is because it’s so different than my pregnancy with Elowyn (now 17 months). There’s been no morning sickness, barely any round ligament pain … just …
The BIG [logical] BANG: Don’t Panic! Evolution Proves That God Exists
Many of my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ react strongly against evolution and modern science. This is partly because atheists often try to claim that evolution is proof that God did not create the world. This, however, is utter nonsense. Here’s why: If God created the world, then science is merely the study of God’s creation. If evolution occurs then …
Oh, How I Wish That Christians Weren’t Human!
As a Christian, one of the most discouraging things that damages my faith is mockery and judgement from other Christians. I’m not saying people who aren’t Christian are any better, but they don’t “get” our faith. It’s much easier to forgive or dismiss scorn and condescension from someone who has no idea why you believe what you believe. As brothers …
Poem: As I Walked Beside the River
As I walked beside the river Between this plane and forever I could hear a whisper saying – Floating on the rain cooled breeze – “Cross now, cross the Jordan river Come with me and live forever Where the children, haply playing, Never know pain or disease, Never know the constant struggle Never know the tears or heartbreak Never know …
