  I’m more of a night owl, and so early mornings aren’t usually my thing. But the other day I got up early and saw the sunrise. As the newborn rays of dawn peeked over the horizon, scattering the lakefront clouds with pastel pink, yellow, and orange diffused light, I was reminded of the hope-filled … [Read More…] July 31, 2022

  Last Sunday I spoke at the Bethany Beach Tabernacle in Michigan, and our family decided stay a few extra days to enjoy the lake. We had a great time playing in the water and soaking up the sun. I’ve got a pretty impressive farmer’s tan now!   There’s something about being on the water … [Read More…] July 24, 2022

  The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. – Psalm 19:1   I’ve been in awe this week as the images from the James Webb Space Telescope have come pouring in.

  Like many of you, I watched in horror on Monday as news of the Fourth of July parade shooting in Highland Park rolled in. The tragedy is immense: seven beautiful image-bearers slain, thirty-nine hospitalized, and, in a story that gripped all our hearts, a two-year old toddler orphaned of both his parents. So much … [Read More…] Three Sources of Evil

  In the summers during my early teen years I would often travel with my younger siblings to visit my Grandpa and Grandma Miller in Missouri. The highlight of our visit was a trip to Branson. We’d go to the theme park, attend old-time country music shows, and eat way too much frozen custard. Branson … [Read More…] July 3, 2022

  I still remember the day I first met Grandpa Friend in his hometown of Soap Lake in the irrigated farmlands of Eastern Washington. Krista and I had been dating awhile, and it was time to meet her extended family. LeRoy Friend raised cows to sell at auction, and was as salt-of-the-earth as they come. … [Read More…] June 26, 2022

  Today, all across the nation, we’re observing two holidays: Father’s Day and Juneteenth.   Father’s Day has always held a special place in my heart. My Granddad, Jesse Hensarling Jr., was a pastor who modeled for me a life of sacrifice. My Grandpa, Eugene Miller, served in the Air Force and taught me the … [Read More…] June 19, 2022

  Like many students, I gravitated toward certain professors in seminary who then shaped my life in disproportionate ways. I still remember my first Missions class at Dallas Theological Seminary. Krista and I had spent our day attending a series of classes in our brand new schedule. Each one followed a predictable pattern. It was … [Read More…] June 12, 2022
