The early promise of social media is that it would help us make friends. But as it has matured, it seems better suited to help us make enemies. Long gone are the happy days when it was all about connecting with others around shared interests. Today it seems to major in beating down others others…

While society has long acknowledged the rare existence of gender dysphoria, a psychological condition marked by discomfort with one’s biological…
I’ve had a number of people ask about the third and final part of my review of White Fragility. It is coming soon! I had to preach on Sunday, so the sermon was my week’s major focus. But with that behind me, I’ll get back to the review. Today’s Kindle deals include just a couple…
As a father, I try to make it a habit to pray for my children each day before they even crawl out of bed. Before they’ve begun their day, I want to have already asked the Lord to bless, keep, and prosper them. Praying for my children was on my mind as I read this…

It sure was nice to watch a bit of baseball last night! While I don’t much care for any of the teams that played, the return of baseball seems like a little down payment on the eventual return to normalcy. I’m looking forward to catching the Blue Jays tonight. Today’s Kindle deals include a whole…

It seems like the whole world is talking about race and racism and racial reconciliation. Here in 2020 the conversation has come to the fore with renewed force and renewed urgency.
