I originally started writing this post a few days ago and had the tentative title The Moscow Mood Has Soured. After the weekend, I think it’s appropriate to ask if the Moscow Mood is dead. By dead I don’t mean to say that all of the endeavors happening in Moscow, Idaho, will cease to exist …

There have been multiple pastors in the news lately for issues of moral failure. The one that seems to have hit people the hardest in my online circles is Steve Lawson. I write this post as someone who has never read his books or heard him preach. I only know who he is because of …

God Works Through Imperfect People

Post may contain affiliate links to materials I recommend. Read my full disclosure statement.

Caroline and I are reading aloud through Genesis during our homeschool time right now. It’s striking how many times men lied about their wife being their sister to “protect” themselves to the point they would allow their wife to be taken away by another man. God still worked through these sinful and fearful men to …
