Grace for the Days I Don’t Want to Pray

For as long as I’ve been a Christian, and even as a minister of the Gospel, I have struggled with maintaining a consistent daily Quiet Time with God. I’m speaking of that set-apart time for reading the Bible, praying, and communing with the Lord. Although it has provided the richest blessings of my spiritual life, I still often resist it. Not always because I’m too busy, sometimes it’s because, quite frankly, I don’t want to. It’s something that has troubled me through the years.

God and Country, but In the Right Order

At its 52nd General Assembly, the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) voted overwhelmingly to commission a study on Christian Nationalism. The decision reflects a growing conversation throughout the Church about how Christians should engage in public life or completely stay out of that arena.

Theology of a Broken Shoulder: Admonishment and Advice for Church Leaders

In ministry, wounds can run deeper than the physical. Recently, I endured a painful injury, a broken shoulder, that not only required replacement surgery but also left me rather contemplative. As I reflected on that experience and its relation to a couple of other significant trials within a short span of eight months,

Pray: Return America’s Watchlist After Crossover

Pray: Return America’s Watchlist After Crossover

Wednesday of this week marked the end of “crossover” in the North Carolina General Assembly. “Crossover” is a critical legislative deadline by which bills must pass out of one chamber – either the House or the Senate – to remain eligible for consideration during the rest of the legislative biennium (a two-year session).

Evil Brings a Gun. Why Can’t the Good

Evil Brings a Gun. Why Can’t the Good

Evil walked through the front door of The Covenant School in Nashville, Tenn.

Not metaphorical evil. Not theoretical evil. But real, malevolent, deliberate evil — armed and armored, stalking the halls of a Christian school with calculated fury. The shooter shattered glass, fired round after round, and turned innocent lives into casualties. Three precious 9-year-olds. Three staff members. All murdered in the span of minutes.

From My Heart: Unanswered Questions, Unwavering Faith

In recent years, my life has been marked by a series of trials that have left me questioning, “What is going on?” These challenges have come one after another in a way that sometimes feels overwhelming. In 2021, I came dangerously close to death during a severe battle with COVID-19.

And if that wasn’t enough, my marriage, a relationship I deeply cherished, is now in the throes of separation and is not likely to survive, leaving me to navigate the painful loss of a 45-year bond that I expected would last a lifetime.
