As a baseball fan, this year has been hard. First, there was the delay of the start of the season. Second, once it began, there were no crowds in the stands, which means less energy at a game and no way to go see a game. Third, earlier this year I had received a free pass to home games ... of...
Lynne and I painfully watch my mother's battle against dementia continue to lose ground. Indeed all of us have someone close to us who has some profound struggle with atypical daily living, whether it's mental, physical, emotional, or spiritual. Some of us have those struggles ourselves.
Many...
It doesn't take long at Grace Fellowship for someone to hear me use one or both of these Hebrew words, emeth (truth) and hesed (lovingkindness). These words carry far more than a single English translation can convey.
Both words are prominent in the Old Testament, but interestingly...
We are in the midst of a significant election cycle, and therefore we are being bombarded with campaign promises. I'm not writing to disparage politics, particular politicians, or the political process. It's just the fact of the matter that our mailboxes are filling up, the airwaves are...
Every case of atheism is temporary. Not a single case will go uncured.
The same is true for agnosticism (the view that it is impossible to know God even if He exists).

C.S. Lewis, once again, says beautifully what I've been struggling to put into words. Rather than write my own article this week, I will just include his words on the atomic bomb, but what he said can equally be applied to COVID-19. You can read a full article...
I really don't like wearing a mask. I don't like the feel, I don't like how it's a little harder to take in a deep breath, I don't like not seeing someone's expressions, and I don't like them not seeing mine.
So I wear my mask.
And I really don't like wearing a mask when we gather for worship...
"Black Lives Matter." Boom - I just created some sort of response in you, perhaps even a strong one. And not the same response in each of you. I understand the reasoning behind the variety of responses.
I can create the same range of responses with the phrase "white privilege." How thin is the...
By now, you've likely seen someone you thought was a little too cavalier about the Coronavirus. Or maybe you have second-guessed yourself that you were being a little too carefree about protecting yourself. Should I wash my hands more often?
We've all also seen the fear that some have had over...
