What Kind of Resurrection Do You Want?

Spiritual Longing & Real Life

Many people talk about resurrection without ever asking what kind of life God actually promised. This piece explores the difference between cultural Easter, spiritualized Easter, and the embodied hope Jesus revealed. From Genesis to the empty tomb, we see why a physical resurrection matters — and why it changes everything about our future.

Life’s not fair!

Spiritual Longing & Real Life

Life isn’t fair, and most of us feel that long before we can explain it. Scripture doesn’t deny that pain, but it reframes what “right, just, and fair” really mean. This piece asks a harder, better question: what if the fairness we demand isn’t the fairness we need?

Does God Want to Punish Us?

Just a quick thought

Does God want to punish us?  The answer is really simple.  No – God does not want to punish us.  It’s been a long time since I felt that way, but I do still remember feeling like He does indeed wait for a reason to do it.  Actually, that’s really messed up – because the one waiting to try to get God to punish us is Satan.  You know – the devil.

The only answer that makes any sense is - No!

Kavanaugh Tariff Ruling – and the Ancient Warning We Keep Ignoring

Government & Politics, The Moral Cost of Governance

When Justice Kavanaugh framed the tariff ruling as a “checked the wrong box” mistake, something felt off. The deeper I looked, the more it echoed an ancient pattern – the same one that led Israel to reject God’s leadership in the days of Samuel’s sons. This piece explores what happens when judges fail, leaders grasp for power, and Christians stop paying attention.
