Award-Winning, Bestselling Christian Author
DEBATING ABOUT TRUMP with my fellow Christians reminds me of yelling into the Grand Canyon. What I hear is an echo. It caught me off guard this past week, after I said I agreed with my former editor Mark Galli. He wrote the editorial for Christianity …
I APOLOGIZE. I’ve been away for too long. I’ve been dealing with computer woes. Still am. Status update: I’ll probably have to reset the operating system of my new computer. There goes another week or more. My book about Roman …
Q Why do you think Paul was so bitterly opposed to fellow Jewish Christians who sincerely believed that Jesus wanted people to continue to honor and obey the Jewish laws that God gave them through Moses (Galatians 2)? After all, Jesus himself had …
CHRISTIANS ARE PESSIMISTS, and content to be so. Not all. Maybe not most. But many. They look at the world and say all is as it should be, given the fallen nature of human beings. Like the rest of us, these Christians see: narcissistic political …
CHRISTIANS WEREN’T SAFE IN SYRIA once upon a time. That was 2,000 years ago. The times are not always changing. Once a week I’m letting you take a peek inside the new paraphrase of Acts—the story of what happened after Jesus left the planet. …

SOMEONE YELLED AT ME. Not with a voice, but with machine-gunned exclamation points. They did it in a book review I read yesterday, though it was written several months ago. The reviewer goes by the nickname of CB. CB’s review is below in bold …
A WINDY THUNDERSTORM blew in late Monday night. It knocked out our electrical power until about 3 AM. We don’t have a backup battery for our sump pump. But I plugged the sump pump into the battery backup I use for my computer, and it worked just …

IT WAS MY DAUGHTER’S IDEA to visit my mom in Ohio last week, some 800 miles from where we live on the fringe of the prairie. She was thinking manicures, pedicures, and a 12-hour Girl’s Day Out—all of which took place early in the week. Her husband of …
