Sam Caldwell, May 2020 1) All Christians and all churches should be seeking both to fear God and to honor the king at the same time In the American context, “honoring the king” means submitting to governing authorities.

Songs in the Night: Song #6: Doubly Good To You – by Rich Mullins
Dear family and friends, For our sixth “COVID SONG,” Kiara recorded Rich Mullins’ “Doubly Good To You.” This is such a wonderful song of love that Rich recorded for the marriage he never had. He then let Amy Grant record it instead. Kiara and I especially like how the lyrics echo Isaiah 40:2: “Speak comfortContinue reading “Songs in the Night: Song #6: Doubly Good To You – by Rich Mullins”

Anti-Abortion Anthem
Their blood cries out. The people cheer. Our nation kills its children. “Let them die. Protect our rights. Am I my brother’s keeper?” Personal hell. Live for myself. We chose what’s right. We hate the light. But it is clear. They’re murdered here. Our apathy defines us. We are dead in hate and sin, untilContinue reading “Anti-Abortion Anthem”
