Reaffirm Your Love: When Repentance Opens the Door to Restoration
I recently read a story about a family photograph that sat on a shelf for many years. It showed happier days—a time before conflict, disappointment, and broken relationships. Then something happened that fractured the family. Words were spoken. Trust was damaged. The picture was taken down and placed in a drawer.

The Call, The Caller, and The Called
There’s an old story about a young farmer down in the Bootheel of Missouri who’s plowing his field one spring. He’s growing discouraged with farming. He tried planting cotton, but it didn’t do very well. Soybeans weren’t any better. He’s wondering what he ought to do with the rest of his life. As he steers his tractor up one row and down another, he utters a fervent prayer to God: “Lord, if you…

7 Questions That Reveal Your Heart
My friend, fellow Hoosier, and preaching colleague, Steve Wolfgang, recently posted 7 Rules for Self-Discovery by A. W. Tozer that caught my eye. Tozer originally published these in an essay entitled The Root of the Righteous, which later became the title of a book. Tozer understood something that Scripture repeatedly teaches: character is revealed not merely by what we profess, but by what we…

Training For Godliness

Living Second
“Comedian Nate Bargatze says his career isn’t just about getting laughs — it’s about living out his belief that he is ‘second to God,’” wrote Leah MarieAnn Klett in the Christian Post. I have to admit I’d never seen his act—or even heard of Nate Bargatze. Yet he’s been performing stand-up comedy since 2002. In 2024, he was the highest-grossing comic, selling over 1.2 million tickets at sold-out…

Gratitude in a Grumbling World
“As we approach the nation’s 250th birthday, the country that older Americans once knew seems to be slipping away,” opined conservative columnist Cal Thomas in a recent post. Thomas cited the attitude of “The Greatest Generation,” who banded together during the challenging days of the Great Depression and World War II. “We’re in this together” was the motto and mantra of that era.

Psalm 42--Spiritual Thirst in a Shallow Age
In his book, Water from a Deep Well, Theology Professor Gerald Sittser suggests that many modern Christians suffer from spiritual shallowness because they only draw from contemporary sources. The past, he argues, provides deep nourishment for faith and discipleship. Sittser then offers this observation and indictment of modern Christianity: Continue reading Psalm 42–Spiritual Thirst in a…
