No Doomsday Future

The pro-Roe movement wants a choice and if Roe is headed back to the purview of the States, there will be more than one State to let women freely choose.  There’s no need for doomsday scenarios, terrible logic, or waving coat hangers wildly at the Supreme Court by young women who are as uninformed as […]

Freedom at the Expense of Life

To those in the pro-Roe movement, Roe v Wade represents freedom (specifically reproductive freedom and sexual “liberation” for women), but to those in the pro-life movement that freedom is at the expense of life for the baby who can’t be seen except with a pregnancy test and a high-powered microscope. But God sees.  Someday we […]

Life and Freedom: As Old as Eden

Christians, such as I, see that we’re living in a New Covenant world.  One of grace, freedom, love, obedience to Christ, and proclamation of the Gospel.  They are all facets of the New Covenant world. This New Covenant world has deep roots before the Old Covenant and even back to Eden when God gave Adam […]

Ruminations on Roe v. Wade

I beg your indulgence as I branch the New Covenant idea to venture into political territory today and for the next few installments.  It’s important or I wouldn’t do it. The decision on Roe v Wade was issued on January 22, 1973.  For any woman born in 1960 or after, it’s been part—even though controversial—of […]

Old Covenant, New Covenant

What do you think of when you hear the word “covenant”?  In my biblical worldview, it is a core rock-solid promise with a gentle wrapping of love and boundaries for safety, and security.  It has positive vibes all around it.  It’s unconditional love and always a good thing. God’s covenants were special because God establishes […]

A New and Living Way

The old way had been in effect since Genesis.  It was a dead way.  Animal sacrifices over and over and over because sin flowed non-stop from a sin nature we inherited from Adam (and Eve), the first sinner(s). The old way was designed to remind us that the “wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23).  […]

A New Day-A New Say

Until Resurrection Day, death had the final say.  I wonder if Satan chortled an evil chortle in Eden as he thought he’d outsmarted God.  Maybe thinking God had made a pivotal error of promising, even threatening mortality if Adam (and Eve) ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, though it was […]

Essential Elements of an Easter Message

On Easter Sunday, I went to a local beach with my parents for a sunrise service to celebrate God’s making all things new in the resurrection of Christ.  A highlight for me was watching the sun rise in the east as the full moon set over the Gulf of Mexico.  It made me wish I […]

All Things New

Revelation 21:1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. […]

Easter Sunday (2022)

It’s Easter Sunday. The tomb is empty. The Lord Jesus is Risen (Luke 24). All things have been made new (Revelation 21:5). The consequence of the fall of man–our mortality–has been paid in full. And there’s new hope for us in Him because of it. The sting of death is gone. The grave has no […]
