You Shoulda Known Ray
I wish you could have known this man. I met him when I was fifteen years old and suicidal, and within minutes everything in my life changed. Five years before I was a ten-year-old avowed atheist living with my parents in Sacramento, California. I had a passion for nature and the outdoors—an aspiring forest ranger…

The Subject of the Whole Universe
“Then the LORD came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the LORD. And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, ‘The LORD, the LORD [I Am, I Am], the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to [the thousandth generation], and forgiving…

The Cult of Antisemitism
God said to Abram, “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” (Genesis 12:2-3) It must be said, and loudly. Antisemitism is…

Why I Like Christmas
“The incarnation of God is an infinitely greater thing than anything I would dare to write…” —J.R.R. Tolkien, Letters, 237 (italics in the original) Imagine eternity. Imagine infinity—imagine absolute life and infinite power, with no beginning and no end. Imagine infinite size and mind, boundless knowledge, unapproachable holiness in both being and motive—perfection beyond anything…

“Behold I Am Wise!” (or not…)
“The proper study of the Christian is God. The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest philosophy which can engage the attention of a child of God is the Name, the Nature, the Person, the Doings, and the existence of the great God we call “Father”.
