As I drove to work last week, I enjoyed idyllic Ohio fall days–pleasant temperatures, blue skies and smiling faces upon arrival. If only I could turn off the outside pictures–the vicious attack on Israel (which includes many American hostages and deaths), the dysfunction in Washington DC, the continued market turmoil from a high interest rate […]

A Hermeneutical Goldmine
20 Sep 2023
Today I want to share a greatly beneficial resource. It is easy to look at the culture and cherry pick a text to support out opinion; however, bad hermeneutics are not becoming of a Berean. Dr. Ched Spellman is providing an incredible overview of the Biblical canon, how it came to be, and how the […]

The Sneakier Side of Suffering
18 Oct 2021
There are times when I wonder why my parents didn’t send me back to the manufacturer for some of the stupid things I did in my youth. Many years ago, when this fearless author was but a wee lad, I returned home from a church event with my brother, both of us in possession of […]

Faith at the Margin — Pt. 3
04 Oct 2021
The finale of a three part series on faith with just a hint of economic insight added for seasoning. It’s a beautiful October day in the neighbourhood, and what better way to spend it than by cuddling up next to the window, watching the leaves change before your very eyes, and pondering the interrelatedness of […]

Faith at the Margin – Pt. 2
17 Sep 2021
The second of a three part series on faith with just a hint of economic insight added for seasoning. Well, those of you reading that subtitle up there would be well within your rights to ask, “Part 2? When in the heck did part 1 come out?” Too long ago, fair, merryweather pilgrim of the […]

Faith at the Margin — Pt. 1
03 Aug 2021
The first of a three part series on faith with just a hint of economic insight added for seasoning. Well, it wouldn’t be the soon-closing tide of summer around the Bereans home base if we hadn’t been graced once again by the penmanship of my co-author and dear friend, Stanley Schwartz. From my understanding, he […]

Fun in the Sun with Dostoevsky and Lewis
01 Jun 2021
Over the course of a long weekend very recently, I found myself afforded the opportunity for a lovely visit to Hilton Head, SC with my very dear roomies (well, two of them least; the other was at some minor prior engagement, “wedding-related,” he says). If “pleasure” and “merriment” are the aim, one could do far […]

“Lawrence! What like Lawrence of Arabia?” So bellows Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in the opening moments of Full Metal Jacket. But no, not this time, Gunny. It’s Trevor Lawrence, rather, who we’re discussing today. Football fans with any modicum of attention to the game will be familiar with his name and likely even more familiar with […]

When God Tells Us to Take a Hike
11 Mar 2021
Long have been these days of quarantine, and if lockdown activists have their way, longer they shall be. For my own two cents, I actually found the first few months of lockdown rather charming in a way, a position which I wager likely puts me in the minority…probably not just the minority but a far […]

Praying for Mr. Biden
25 Jan 2021
Mr Biden wasted no time in implementing an extra-constitutional agenda that could not be supported by a democratic process, e.g., numerous executive orders that are his private fiat. I’ll have more to say on his progressive war on work as soon as the schedule eases, but supporters of Mr. Trump cannot critique Mr. Biden for […]
