Cageless Birds – ‘White As Snow’
It’s a white as snow kinda love Redemption red kinda grace Love of the Father, kind, kind Jesus Calling out my name He said, do not be afraid Don’t give your song away Weeping lasts a moment but Joy is here to stay, it’s here to stay I lift my eyes up to the Heavens And open wide to […]
Confusion Between Kingdoms
As I mentioned several weeks ago, I’m revisiting Tim Keller’s ‘Songs of Jesus’ as a source for my morning devotions in 2021. For the past week, I’ve been reflecting on Psalm numbers in the mid-30s, and I’ve had one of those rare (for me, anyway) moments of confluence, of understanding, of “Oh wow, I think […]
Fall Into the Flood
Back in 2012, singer-songwriter Kate York released a little-known Christian-themed EP called ‘New’, which I believe was available only via iTunes.

In this clip from December 1970, Lloyd-Jones is sharp, clear-eyed, gracious, and unapologetic about (small-“o”) orthodox Christian belief.
And so the Judgment begins
The images and footage of the rioters who stormed the capital this past week were incontrovertible evidence that politics, including loyalties to political figures and unquestioning belief in conspiracy theories, is a full-on religion for people on the political right as well as the political left. Human beings are wired to believe in something […]
Blessed is the one…
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by […]
