There has been no place for me to hide but also no place I’ve wanted to hide—not Sheol, not heaven, not the wings of the dawn, not lightness, not darkness. Jesus Christ has been real, present, and tangible—not just as doctrine or theology but there. Suffering with me, comforting me, assuring me, his hand in... Continue Reading

He described his own soul as “deeply grieved to the point of death” (Mk. 14:34), and cried out “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me” (Matt. 27:46).

Abolishing DEI, while important, will register as a secondary headline. If officials successfully abolish these diversity programs, they can move on and never have to address it again. The principle underlying this course of action is... Continue Reading
