We possess the books we read, animating the waiting stillness of their language, but they possess us also, filling us with…

On February 17, Delta flight 4819 landed hard, shearing off the right wing and flipping over before finally sliding to a stop. Remarkably, despite the crash and subsequent…

Are You Binding the Wound or Aggravating It?

One of the privileges we have as Christians is the privilege of caring for one another—of blessing one another in our difficulties and comforting one another in our sorrows.

The Future of New Calvinism

Every now and again I like to share an example of a pastoral prayer from Grace Fellowship Church.
