In 2021, Juneteenth became a federal holiday in the US. I was asked recently why I didn’t celebrate it. I observe the holiday but can’t say that I celebrate it.

The most antagonistic anti-Christians aren’t those most people assume they are.

The Lord has given us many narratives in which to frame His magnanimous love for us. We have been given the narrative of a Father seeking to restore His family which has rejected Him, a Shepherd faithfully tending His wayward flock, the loving hands of a Great Potter restoring broken vessels to glory, a perfect...
