Does your church sing all the words to the Christmas carol "What Child is This?" For decades I sang this song not realizing William Chatterton Dix had written more lyrics many hymnals and churches often leave out. I am not sure how this ommission came to be, but my experience made me wonder how many... Continue Reading →
As I grow in my understanding of the issue of abortion, I have begun to realize we are battling more than one dark evil. Often the discussion is narrowed down to the life of the unborn child. Make no mistake, the life of the unborn child matters infinitely to God. But another even less-discussed evil... Continue Reading →
It is June 1st, 2021, and my Google calendar tells me today is the first day of LGBTQ+ pride month. I am sure you have noticed. This new tradition seems to be here to stay, and many conscientious Christians who hold to a biblical sexual ethic are left wondering how to respond. I would like... Continue Reading →

Yet in Matthew 5:9 we read these words from Jesus, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." In context, Jesus is preaching his famous Sermon... Continue Reading →
Merry Christmas to you and yours! I wish I had more opportunities to blog recently, but instead I have been busy working on a new hymn for Christmas. A few months ago the Getty team launched their inaugural Hymn Writing Collective. It was a dream come true for me to take part and learn from... Continue Reading →
I’m up late and can’t sleep because my circadian rhythm has been thrown off yet again by our 5-month baby girl. Oh yes, you moms and dads out there know what I’m talking about. And since I have your attention, and I can’t sleep, please allow me to speak two truths of encouragement for weary... Continue Reading →
The rise of the political organization Black Lives Matter and the modern social justice movement has caused no small disturbance in the American church. Some people are confused, some are overwhelmed, some are overconfident, and some are deceived. I'm specifically concerned for friends of mine in conservative Christianity who are blindly accepting this movement while... Continue Reading →
