I was thinking about feet today.
It has been a particularly nice day outside here at Cedarville University, so I decided to spend some time sitting by the lake to do some reading, praying, journaling, etc. My feet were tired of being in shoes all day, so I took my shoes and socks off and enjoyed [...]

Think Bigger Than That
Whatever the gospel is, it centers on the inauguration of the kingdom of God in Jesus Christ, crucified and risen from the dead. Hence the gospel is not first and foremost about a network of moral injunctions, nor about this or that kind of religious experience, nor about the arrival of the church, nor about some scheme [...]

Today I was convinced that three months ago, in a crowded warehouse amidst a crowd of several hundred people, I voted for the right man when I cast my ballot and exercised my right as a citizen of this country.
One of my professors today made the remark that today is going to be one of [...]

Snake by D.H. Lawrence
A snake came to my water-trough

On Being Broken and Being Free
I’ve come to a conclusion.
Everything is broken.
In Christianeze we refer to this as “the fall” or “total depravity” or other sweepingly long words, but I think broken is a better word. Its understandable. And its true. To say that mankind is “fallen” gives the idea that we were at one point on a pedestal. And [...]
