Advent: Flipping the Script By Scott Lencke Welcome to the new year. Not the calendar new year, but the church’s new year that begins with the season of Advent. This is our rhythm in which we both remember the coming of God’s Messiah so long ago, but also we longingly hope for the coming ofContinue reading “Scott Lencke: Advent – Flipping the Script”

Klasie Kraalogies: Love and Marriage – was Frank Sinatra wrong after all?
Love and Marriage – was Frank Sinatra wrong after all? By Klasie Kraalogies A little while ago I was asked a question by Mule, in the context of discussing Matthew Paul Turner’s divorce – and let me quote: I am open to correction on this, especially from David and Klasie, but I think that theContinue reading “Klasie Kraalogies: Love and Marriage – was Frank Sinatra wrong after all?”
Using God for Political Purposes
I am in the process of writing a post entitled “Five Six Seven Views Of God and the Corona Virus”. The Post keeps changing the more I read and think about it.

Klasie Kraalogies: On Racism, Apartheid and the Demons Within (Part 1)
On Racism, Apartheid and the Demons Within (Part 1) By Klasie Kraalogies (Before I start, let me state this: I am addressing racism as the issue I, and most people of European origin are familiar with, and rightly accused of.

Rachel, we — the uncool — will miss you
Note from CM: It has been hard for me in the past couple of weeks to summon up the emotional energy to pay tribute to several folks who have died recently.
