Will Not the Judge of All the Earth Do Right?
When injustice seems to win and the guilty walk free, one truth holds: nothing is hidden from God, and the Judge of all the earth will do right. A word of comfort for the wronged and warning for the wicked.

God Will Not Share His Throne
One of the things that continually amazes me when I read the Old Testament is how easily Israel compromised. They did not stop believing in God—they simply added other gods to Him. And I wonder how different we really are.

A Biblical Response: Mica’s Story - Part 8
The Church must become a safe place again. What can we learn from Mica’s story? A hospital for sinners that is also safe for the vulnerable. Search me, O God, and know my heart.

A Biblical Response: Mica’s Story - Part 7
Forgiveness, healing, and starting over: when God takes the pieces of a broken life and makes something beautiful. Your past doesn’t have to be your destiny. As long as you have breath, God can write another chapter.

A Biblical Response: Mica’s Story - Part 6

Jesus Is King: Surrender Is the Doorway
There is a version of Christianity being presented today that asks very little of us. But Jesus is King - and you cannot enter a kingdom without surrendering to its King. On surrender, obedience, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the goal of the Kingdom.

A Biblical Response: Mica’s Story - Part 5
When secret sin becomes a public wound: the devastating progression of sexual immorality. You cannot heal what you refuse to acknowledge. There is no bondage so strong that Jesus cannot break it.

A Biblical Response: Mica’s Story - Part 3
When spiritual authority is used to control instead of protect. What happens when the person who is supposed to protect the sheep becomes the person the sheep need protection from? That is when the shepherd becomes the wolf.

A Biblical Response: Mica’s Story - Part 2
Gifted is not the same as godly. The Church must learn to distinguish between talent and character—because when the lights go out and the microphone is turned off, character is what remains.

Come, Lord Jesus
These are the final words of the Bible — a cry across thousands of years of human history: "Come, Lord Jesus!" When I first became a Christian in 1980, I didn’t understand the desperation in those words. I do now.
