  • Defiling the Land - Through the prophet Jeremiah, God  accused Judah of defiling their land.  The last few summers here in Northern Minnesota the fresh, crip, clear summer days have been defiled by smoke pollution from the forest fires in Canada. There have been clean air advisories, warning people to stay inside because of the bad air.  It is… Continue Reading
  • A Modern Mystic - I have been reading a book by Dr. David John Seel entitled "Aspirational Masculinity."  It has been very informative as I continue to process what it means to be a man, living for Jesus in this new year (2026).  He acknowledges that masculinity is in a state of flux.  Even though men are listening for… Continue Reading
  • Rejected Silver - Jeremiah, the prophet was given  a ministry of speaking for God to a people who were hardened in their sinful ways.  Jeremiah was sent to shake them up.  "See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant" (Jer. 1:10).  That is… Continue Reading
  • Confused Excuses - "Confused Excuses" is the title Christopher Wright gives to Jeremiah 2:20-37.  I found it in the "Bible Speaks Today."  Some self disclosure - I have made a commitment to understand the prophet Jeremiah, so that I might share some of what God has to say through the prophets for our day.  It is hard work. … Continue Reading
  • The “Y” Matters - Mark Hancock, CEO of Trail Life USA, had a thought provoking article in The Daily Signal, about young men in America,  observing, "America is waking up to the reality that the 'Y' matters."  Referring to men he points to the Y chromosome, "The 'Y' doesn't just mark their biology - it point them to their… Continue Reading
  • Liminal Leaders - This was the title of an article by Dr. John Seel.  He believes we are living through a "civilizational inflection."  The West is gravely ill.  The disease is spiritual. The need is repentance not policy. "The patient," suggests Dr. Seel, "still breathes, but the pulse of purpose is gone.  We are a zombie culture, animated… Continue Reading
  • Boy Trouble - Variety magazine reported recently that Disney has "boy trouble." Bill Winters believes, "They're going to have to ditch an ideology that sneered at masculinity."  Disney is losing the interest of Gen Z men (13-28), whom they describe as  a "lonely, gaming-obsessed group who were hampered in their formative years by COVID-19 lockdowns."   Winters points out… Continue Reading
  • Once more, Church and Culture - Brad East, a professor of theology at Abilene Christian University, has become one of my favorite theologians.  I value theologians, who I can trust to be scripture centered, but yet speak clearly, in a fresh, new way the "old story" of Jesus and his love.  Recently he wrote an article for Mere Orthodoxy entitled, "Once… Continue Reading
  • The 6th of January - I recently heard Amy Grant's new single entitled, "The 6th of January (Yasgur's Farm)"  I felt some nostalgia, as the song took me back to the 60's when I was just a new convert.  The song didn't have a preachy tone, rather it was almost contemplative, causing older listeners to reflect on their story and… Continue Reading
  • House Full Of Deceit - Jeremiah was called by God to  warn the people of Judah.   One of the words he uses to describe their lifestyle is the word "deceit."  Deceit in today's culture is described as "the practice of deceiving; concealment or distortion of the truth for the purpose of misleading; duplicity; fraud; cheating." In 5:27 the prophet accuses… Continue Reading
