The Huff-Rogan moment reminds us: Something’s happening here. “What’s that sound?” We need to stop, look, listen, and lean in. And we need to start “apologizing” like Christians, again.

Some say that Christians are politically homeless on earth. But that isn’t quite true.
We have a political home in a City (polis) yet to come, and this City assembles on earth in the local church.

If you’re limping into 2025, maybe it means you’ve been wrestling with God and he’s got you just where he wants you.

In light of God, we’re irrelevant and insignificant.
Except that God makes us significant. God makes us matter, because he made matter. God instilled creation with value because he is the one who made it.

When our son was six years old, we told him the true story of St. Nicholas—a pastor from a long time ago who helped people.
His takeaway: “So, he died?”
“Yes.”
Soon after, he sent this note to Santa: “Dear Santa, you are ded.”
Happy St. Nicholas Day!
