  • The famine of our time

    There are physical famines all around us. Drought conditions are crippling regions of the world. Spiritual famine is real. It is very real in places where churches think they are doing well. The Spirit is trying to warn believers of these conditions. The warnings are being ignored .

  • Lost time

    I came down with COVID this week. It was a good run. I made it to this point, so I’m thankful. At some point in my first couple of days of battling some nasty symptoms, I began to lament time I was “losing.” Appointments to be rescheduled. I even thought, “Goodness! I had two weeks of vacation followed by a…

  • Extreme views and the fall of democracy

    Christian nationalism is a hot topic. Extreme ideologies to both sides are a worry to me. Each extreme works to tell people what IS right, which is THEIR way. But Christian nationalism is of concern because it rips out the bedrock bellied to love our neighbor. This edition of the Holy Post podcast truly deserves your attention. The warnings are…

  • A study in contrasts

    I am beginning a deeper dive into 1 Timothy and doing an overview of the letter. It brings out a certain contrast I see in our current context. Kingdom living: There is bad behavior around you.

  • Roe vs. Wade

    There is just no way of writing something on this topic without, 1. Getting something wrong, and 2. Having others who differ in opinions tell me how much I get it wrong. Thus, I avoid this topic. Yet, this is a huge day. I can write this and get it out and it will be nothing in the midst of…

  • The failure is horrifying

    The failure of first responders on the scene in Uvalde, Texas is beyond horrifying. Children were being mowed down in a classroom with law enforcement on the scene. There are no words. But, David French has a few.

  • Over and over…

    Conspiracy theories… Racism… Mass murder… Lord, how long? More HERE.

  • A clear view of Christian Nationalism

    David French is a politically conservative writer and evangelical Christian. He is one with a large following who has not taken the leap into the depths of culturalized Christianity and is giving a clear warning about Christian Nationalism. Rod Dreher is another politically conservative writer who is full on advocating for a strong “state” that will protect Christians. It is…
