Christianity is true and all other religions and worldviews are false. I know. I’m so close-minded. Your truth says something different. But the thing is, there is no “your truth”. There’s no my truth either. There is only the truth. So how can I make this truth claim? Logic, reason, and personal experience. I know…

I love the part in the Bible where the disciples just went about their normal lives and tried to be “nice”. They never offended anyone, and they got lots of “likes” on their encouraging and inclusive Facebook posts. Man, they were likeable guys. That’s not how it really went down, though, is it? That story…
Murder on The Golgotha Express
There’s a reason they released Barrabas. Gather around the campfire, and let me tell you a story: Mark 15:6-15 NLT[6] Now it was the governor’s custom each year during the Passover celebration to release one prisoner-anyone the people requested. [7] One of the prisoners at that time was Barabbas, a revolutionary who had committed murder…
Pan-What?
Last night my husband and I watched a clip from an episode of Blue’s Clues. This popular children’s show, targeted at kids age 3-5, was centered on a pride parade, and a drag queen sang out about how proud these different families were to have same-sex parents or even pansexual and asexual family members. Blue’s…
My God Story
Guys. I have NEVER had it all together. Not before I was a Christian, and not since becoming one. I fall short every day. But if God can take the mess I was, the girl who thought she had zero value, then he can do the same for you. The amazing thing is, he longs…
Going, Going, …
Do you ever wonder how you’re going to die? I don’t. Not really. I assume it won’t be in an accident or a dramatic illness, but that’s only because I don’t have a diagnosis and I can’t see the tractor trailer from my leather recliner. It’s going to happen, though. We do what we can,…
Going Viral
These are strange times. I’ve never been part of a plague before. It’s hard to remember what it feels like to just go places without worrying about who might be carrying a deadly virus. Or if there will be toilet paper. Really, doomsday preppers? You had to take ALL of the Charmin? We are blessed….
Reality Check
I’m just going to put this out there. It can be very disheartening to meet professing Christians who have obviously never actually submitted their lives to the Lordship of Christ. I’m going to follow this statement with the admission that I struggle with sin daily. I am surprised by how easy it is to think…
40:40 Day…40
Today will be the last post in my forty day series of commemorating God’s faithfulness and persisting in prayer. I remember being on day eight and wondering how in the world I would come up with thirty-two more God moments to write about, but he brought more to mind as the days progressed and…
40:40 Day 13
Jesus often comes to Muslims in dreams. In one story, a missionary in a Muslim country recounts being greeted on the tarmac in a Middle Eastern country by a man who insisted they must talk. In spite of misgivings,the missionary agreed and they went to a private place where the man explained that a Shining…
