The horror in Waukesha happened over a month ago and yet there is almost zero national coverage of it today. No pieces profiling the victims, nothing on how the community is recovering. Nothing on the motivations of the suspect. It’s like it has been memory-holed.

One thing that liberates your daily Bible reading: realizing every day doesn’t have to be this big moment of inspiration. Sometimes that happens. But what’s more important is the rhythm of reading and rereading the Scripture. Over a lifetime, this ritual can shape the soul.

In 1971 a young man walked forward at a Chicago Billy Graham Crusade and the trajectory of a family was changed. That man was my father. Pastors, evangelists, anyone who communicates the gospel: you never know that God will do with your ordinary faithfulness.

This is really something. Every political cohort favors the Florida legislation, including a sizable majority of Democrats. It’s completely opposite of the media coverage

Rule of thumb for politics (and life): don't be so zealous to criticize vulgar talk/ behavior from politicians on the other side if you are unable to muster up criticism when someone on your side exhibits the same behavior.

"Kindness doesn't work, we live in different times" is a weird argument against Scriptural injunctions originally written to persecuted people. The Bible doesn't command kindness, gentleness, or peaceableness as tactics to be tried but as virtues for Christians of every age.

It's amazing how conditioned we have become, in the last year, to not believing good news about COVID. Like we have three vaccines available in less than a year! That's legitimate good news that doesn't have to have seventeen cautious caveats.
