Social media and the evening news are both making me tired. Sad. Discouraged. Done. Today, I hit my limit. A friend posted a link announcing the president had signed an executive order correcting a difficult, complicated, and sad policy. (I’m not taking a politically...
I’ve listened to the arguments. The problem is access to guns. No, the problem begins in the heart—specifically, hearts corrupted by sin. The more I hear the debate, the more I think both arguments are missing the point. Guns have always been available. And sin has...

These days, passing the buck has become a national pastime in our country. Somebody should do something about those homeless people. Somebody should help the poor. Somebody should share the gospel. And because we keep shifting the responsibility to somebody else,...
