Measuring everything by the standard of Scripture
My brilliant, nine-year-old son Asher has a vocabulary that may very well be better than yours. He is legitimately perceptive, downright insightful, and shockingly self-aware. Now, I say this not to brag (or do I?), and I certainly take no credit for it. I bring this up simply to point out that young children can ...
It was hardly the most deadly mass school shooting. Only three adults, three children. “Only.” Yet, it is still depressing. It is gut-wrenching. These things happen far too often. But this time, something was different… for me.

In the two years since publishing my book, several of those bans have been overturned, and the number of ...
That's what the headline will one day read. It's inevitable. How do I know? Because it's happened before. On the One Hand...
