  • Power Hungry Christians
    Posted on Saturday, April 16th, 2016 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Christian vote, Christians and politics, Christians and power, evangelical vote, gospel, kingdom of God, power hungry Christians, power of the gospel, presidential race, source of power, when I am weak, why is the church ineffective

    I am, admittedly, unashamedly, power hungry. In fact, I’ve been in search of power for months. During a past blizzard, the problem of powerlessness was brought home to me. We live in such an electricity-dependent age that our lives come screeching to a halt when someone pulls the plug. Our gadgets are worthless without power. …[ read more ]

  • The Only Way to Make Sense of Women
    Posted on Tuesday, April 5th, 2016 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: abortion, Carly, Cruz, culture wars, election, election controversy, evangelical vote, evil queen, gender equality, gender wars, Hilary, Megyn Kelly, poisonous apple, presidential race, Sanders, Trump, vote, women and Jesus

    There’s only one way to make sense of women. I should know. I’m a woman. XX chromosome credentialed. Bona fide by birth. Not a boast, just biology. Been managing estrogen since way back. Raised a daughter in the new millennium. Came up in the sixties and seventies raised by a Boomer woman. I’ve seen decades …[ read more ]

  • The Empire’s New Clothes
    Posted on Wednesday, March 30th, 2016 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: 2016 campaign, become like a child, Bernie, Clinton, Cruz, empire, hatred of Christians, Hilary, how to represent Jesus in America, humility, Matthew 18:4, naked empire, persecuted church, presidential race, Revelation 3:17, Sanders, speaking truth to power, the emperor's new clothes, the Laodicean church, Trump

    I’m no prophet but it doesn’t take one to know we’re witnessing a cataclysmic shift in culture. Terrorists and hostile governments target Christians for regulation, oppression, harassment, arrest, persecution, torture, imprisonment, and death in countries around the world. Anti-Christian rhetoric fuels hateful sentiment here on our own shores. The American church, divinely appointed to love, …[ read more ]

  • And the Chariot You Rode in On, Sir!
    Posted on Sunday, February 21st, 2016 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: battle, Bernie, chariots, Clinton, Hilary, horses, pope, Pope vs Trump, presidential campaign, presidential race, running from a crazy man, Sanders, spiritual warfare, Trump, trust, victory

    If I was in a war, I would want a horse. Just sayin’. In the movies, the warriors with the most power in battle, the ones who make it out alive – these guys are the ones on horseback. I would want a large, well-trained, battle-tested horse that was committed to me and could run …[ read more ]

  • Are You Tuned into the Main Event?
    Posted on Thursday, January 28th, 2016 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Ben Carson, Bush, Christians in politics, Donald Trump, evangelical vote, Hilary, how do Christians vote, how should I vote, Joe Biden, politics, presidential debate, presidential race, religious right, Trump

    Humans – we’re always more fascinated with the sideshow than we are with the main event, aren’t we? There are majestic elephants in the center ring? Ho-hum, we’ve seen elephants before. Old news, baby. We’re dashing down the curtained alley for a glimpse at the bearded lady. The weird and wild feed our ravenous appetite …[ read more ]

    Lori, Our Lord never ceases to amaze.. you have succeeded in disturbing this Hobbit! I have been struggling with spiritual apathy and indifference recently and reading your witty, convicting, engaging, infuriating writings has helped me to realize that I am in good company. They have also given me the kick-start I need to get off my laurels! Keep looking up..keep going on for the Lord dear sister-in-Christ!
