Leaving the Deadly Loop

Reading Time: 5 minutes In a recent online discussion I was having, the idea of “God is love” came up, with the intention of showing that a particular doctrine I was holding could not be true, because “God is love.” I’m thankful for conversations like these because they cause me to dig into what…

The Regurgitation of a Nation

Reading Time: 4 minutes Of all the ways one can suffer from passing sicknesses, like colds and flu with their stuffy noses, headaches, and sore throats, I think none is so awful as a stomach virus. Its fury is usually brief, but the rage with which it refuses to allow anything to stay in…

Rows of Silent Witnesses

Reading Time: 5 minutes I had the sad honor of participating in two funerals since the beginning of the year. One was of a beloved uncle and the other was my father-in-law. Both were very godly men, and so their funerals were full of the remembrance of redeeming legacies and the hope of future…

The Bound of the Sea

Reading Time: 4 minutes I stumbled down the sandy wooden steps, laden with beach chairs, an umbrella, and other items suited for a day of sand and sun. I had come early, hoping to find that coveted location not too far from the entrance, but not too close to scores of other people. But…

Talking To Ourselves

Reading Time: 4 minutes Do you ever talk to yourself? This is a rhetorical question because I already know the answer. Everyone talks to themselves at some point. You know, the casual mumblings as you look for a lost item, or perhaps the mental continuation of an argument you just had with someone, only…
