Scripture

And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

You Need a Hobby

Emotional maturity means being able to share space without consuming each other

A woman recently shared that she had read five books in ten years.

Not because she was busy. Not because she had children. Not because she lacked interest.

Because her husband felt it was rude.

Ash Wednesday Isn't Real
Ash Wednesday Isn't Real
Mar 1, 2026

And neither is Monday. So here's what they're actually for.

Every year, around this time, the internet rediscovers that Ash Wednesday “isn’t in the Bible.” Someone makes a graphic. Red X marks appear. Matthew gets misquoted. And a thousand Christians who just came from a Wednesday morning service wipe the smudge off their foreheads and scroll past it.

They’re not wrong, exactly — the critics. Ash Wednesday isn’t commanded in the New Testament. Neither is the word “Trinity.” Neither is the practice of singing hymns in four-part harmony, or having a church building with pews, or calling the person who leads your congregation a “pastor.” Many of the forms through which Christians practice their faith are not found in explicit biblical legislation. That’s kind of the point.

The Person in the Ditch
Mar 1, 2026

There is a detail in the parable of the Good Samaritan that we almost always overlook.

There is a detail in the parable of the Good Samaritan that we almost always overlook.

We spend a lot of time on the Samaritan — his ethnicity, his surprising compassion, the scandal of his goodness in a story told by a Jewish teacher to a Jewish audience. We spend time on the priest and the Levite, parsing why they crossed to the other side of the road. We spend time on the theological question the parable was answering: who counts as my neighbor?

What we almost never spend time on is the man in the ditch.

The Parable Standard
Mar 1, 2026

Jesus never asked “did this happen?” He asked “which one was the neighbor?” We need that question more than ever.

There’s a moment Hank Green describes — almost in passing — that might be the most honest thing anyone has said about living right now.

He’s talking about deepfakes, and he says: “I’ve seen videos that I thought were real. And I didn’t even ever find out that they weren’t real. I watched it, I thought it was real, and I moved on with my day.”

No dramatic correction. No fact-check that arrived in time. Just a false thing, received as true, folded quietly into his picture of the world. He moved on. So did you, probably. So did I.

Don’t Back Up Into That Space

Parking advice, design asymmetry, and the strange rise of tactical grocery shopping

There’s a piece of modern driving wisdom that gets repeated with near-religious confidence:

“Always back into a parking space. It’s safer.”

The argument sounds airtight.
Back in when you arrive. Pull forward when you leave.
Better visibility. Faster exit. Tactical readiness.

Have You Listened to Your Wife and Fed the Baby?
Feb 25, 2026

Leadership is hard.

Anyone who has led a church, a business, a ministry, a classroom, a household, or even a team of two people knows the weight of decisions. The anxiety can be suffocating. We want to do the right thing. We want to follow God’s will. We don’t want to ruin the plan. So we pray:

“Lord, what do You want me to do?”

That sounds spiritual. It sounds humble. It sounds faithful.

Repentance, Hockey, and the Use of Daughters as PR Shields
Feb 24, 2026

When the U.S.

When the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team laughed as President Trump joked that he would need to invite the women’s team too “or I’ll probably be impeached,” many people felt something instinctively.

Both teams won gold.
Both defeated Canada.
Both represented the country.

But in that moment, the women were framed as politically inconvenient — and the men laughed.

Tithing Is an Investment in Imagination
Feb 23, 2026

Provision precedes vision.

Before I started setting money aside intentionally, I had no idea what I would do with it.

There was always something more urgent:
Bills.
Upgrades.
Small comforts.
Future contingencies.

And when you live at that edge — even comfortably — imagination narrows. Your thinking becomes reactive. You manage, you optimize, you respond. But you don’t build.

The Lack of Imagination
Feb 23, 2026

How profit obsession leaves necessary work undone

We are not short on resources.
We are short on imagination.

We live in a country capable of designing hypersonic missiles, training large language models on planetary-scale data, and coordinating just-in-time supply chains that stretch across oceans. Yet somehow we struggle to clear snow quickly, rebuild bridges before they collapse, pay caregivers well, or create dignified work for people whose labor does not yield immediate profit.

The problem is not scarcity.
It is assumption.

Tourette’s, Taboo Words, and the Myth of “What’s in Your Heart”

When John Davidson, a Scottish advocate for people with Tourette syndrome, shouted a racial slur during the BAFTA ceremony, the room froze.

The BBC and BAFTA apologized. Viewers were offended. Disability advocates explained coprolalia. Commentators debated whether the broadcast should have been edited.

And then a new claim began circulating:

How Do I Know That Sinner Over There Is Saved?

How do I know that sinner over there is actually saved?

It sounds spiritual.
It can even sound responsible.
But it is a dangerous question.

A classroom is locked in for the day. One student begins harassing another. The teacher asks, “What should the victim do?”

“Ignore it.”
“Fight back.”

The Affair of Church and State

There is a commandment that comes before all the others.

There is a commandment that comes before all the others.

Not “do not murder.”
Not “do not commit adultery.”
Not even “remember the Sabbath.”
