We are at our most authentic when we admit who we really are and, instead of expressing it, seek God’s help to make us into who we were designed to be.   One of the great buzz words of our times is ‘authenticity’—we are to be ‘authentic’. We are meant to express ourselves authentically— from... Continue Reading

We must persuade our fellow citizens to return to the understanding that moral order is framed in relation to creation order, that God ordains political authority, that law and justice are rooted in an objective moral order founded by God. That truth is objective and rooted in God’s revelation of himself.   America has always... Continue Reading

If we attach our affections to the things of this world, we will spend eternity separated from the love of God; however, if we attach our affections to the person and work of Jesus, we will spend eternity in the presence of God where there is light and hope forever.   Do not love the...

God can and does allow pain in our lives to lead us in the right direction, and to get us off our destructive, dead-end paths. He will do all he can to ensure that we have our priorities right. Praise him for that. It is only when he stops trying to get our attention that... Continue Reading
