  • Flags on Sunday

    The Fourth of July, the independence day for the United States, landing on a Sunday this year allows for a unique opportunity for American Christians to evaluate our own personal relationship between both the flag and the cross and make adjustments as necessary. An inescapable reality is that our identities as Christian and our identities…

  • The Miracle of Tin

    The miracle of Easter is not without its hard pill to swallow.

  • Stumbling Blindly Toward The Light

    How we not give into hopelessness?
