One Word

Posted on February 8, 2021 by Pete

Posted on October 8, 2020 by Pete

When it comes to consuming what we commonly refer to as “the news,” in this day and age of ideological polarization and the propensity to omit or twist facts to suit ones own bias, I can’t count the number of … Continue reading →

This Week Is Important

Posted on April 17, 2019 by Pete

Oh how we need this week in our post-Christian, postmodern, increasingly post-truth culture. A culture that debates not only the abstracts of truth (which man has done throughout the ages . . . think Pilate (Jn. 18:38)), but also seeks … Continue reading →

Creamed

Posted on November 7, 2017 by Pete
