Key themes this week are Trumps appearance at Arlington National cemetery; the name pronunciation debate; a prophetic revelation; and a great nod to Margaret Atwood. More to come I am sure.
What I meme to say . . .

I missed preaching on Ephesians chapter 6, and that’s a shame

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of... Continue Reading →

Voices from Israel — Mosaic, or Monolith?
My publication of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s recent advisory statement on the need for Israel to heed the decision of the International Criminal Court drew some very helpful thoughts from a longtime and trusted friend, Lance Weisser. Archbishop Justin Welby says the State of Israel has been “denying the Palestinian people dignity, freedom and hope”... Continue Reading →
