I shared this on Facebook today:Good morning 😁 As I go into another day of parenting, I think of innocent times when my girls say silly things like, “I want to be a boy.” I think most every normal kid says stuff like that at one point or another. But given our current culture, I confess... Continue Reading →
We live in a society that seems low on doses of masculinity. And the occasional representations of masculinity we do encounter often twist and pervert God’s biblical intention for men. What, then, is masculinity according to Scripture? In the book of Ruth, Boaz demonstrates three qualities every man needs. He provides: when Boaz discovers his... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I was walking into the parking lot after church, somewhat weary from the morning's events, when I saw a shadow swiftly pass by on the ground. I glanced up at the sky, and just a moment later a hawk glided over my head. Without a single flap of its wings, it smoothly wheeled itself... Continue Reading →
I have often heard this accusation leveled at the Bible: "God commanded the Israelites to commit mass genocide when they conquered Canaan. A God of love could not be so cold and merciless, so I do not accept the Bible as true (at least not certain parts of it)." There are many ways to respond... Continue Reading →

Famed missionary Eric Liddell is known for saying, “I believe God made me for a purpose—for China. But he also made me fast, and when I run, I feel his pleasure.” I often feel the same way. Only, I would say, “I believe God made me for a purpose—for the church. But he also made... Continue Reading →
It's been a few weeks since I posted part 1 of this discussion. Since that time I have had the opportunity to listen to others, dig deeply, and gather a bit more insight into the concept of "redeeming the culture." I even stumbled across a website where a guy had posted recordings of a video... Continue Reading →
I've had conversations with Christians, and heard missionaries or public speakers, who champion the idea of redeeming the culture. As best I understand, they mean that we as Christians can take elements of our culture that may have been created for evil purposes and transform them into tools for use in the service of Christ....

I don't have much time to blog this week, so it's a great opportunity to share another songwriting story. Today my newest anthem from Shawnee Press hit the shelves, We Remember Christ (click on the song title to listen). It is a collaborative effort with my friend and songwriting mentor Robert Sterling. I say it was... Continue Reading →
