Fridays Are For One Question

Posted by MK | Filed under Fridays Are For One Question

A new Pixar movie came out last week. It’s called “Brave,” and it’s being billed as Pixar’s first fairy tale. To be honest, if Pixar told me they were making a movie of lamp shade I’d want to see it because they make fantastic movies, almost without exception. I pretty much agree with this article, [...]

Thanks, Jared Wilson, for this reflection: 1 The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein, 2for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.

True Redemption

Posted by MK | Filed under Books, Theology

The following is excerpted from my book, Wednesdays Were Pretty Normal: A Boy, Cancer, and God: Redemption doesn’t mean you stand in triumph over your circumstances.

Posted by MK | Filed under Current Events

Al Mohler: Consider these two pictures. The first picture is of a man who has set himself toward a commitment to sexual purity, and is living in sexual integrity with his wife.
