This post is also available as a podcast: https://anchor.fm/teague-mckamey/episodes/Is-Western-Culture-Dying-e1jjpt8 *** My daughter attends high school online through Wilson Hill Academy. It has been a wonderful fit for her, and we love the Christ-centered education they offer. Given it is virtual education, Wilson Hill intentionally fosters community amongst families. One way they do this is through…

Rest (Part Two)
Please read part one first *** The same invitation is extended to us who hear the gospel: believe that Jesus finished purification for sin and did all that was necessary to bring us to God; believe that Jesus has been provided to us as our very life and is everything we need for life and…
Rest (Part One)
Faith and rest are the big ideas in Hebrews three and four. Chapter three is concerned with the rest God offered His people in the land He prepared for them. Deuteronomy describes the land as having “large and beautiful cities you did not build, houses full of every good thing that you did not fill…
The Beast
I’m doing something a little different in this post. The picture above is from our church service on 2/7/21. If you click it, it will (hopefully) take you to a video of our service. Our church has been going through Revelation. Three of us are taking turns preaching. One is our pastor, Roger. Another is…
COVID in Our Stockings
With Christmas happening this week, I found myself thinking about Jesus’s birth. Caesar Augustus required that everyone travel to their home town for a census. Rome would update taxation based on this census (and taxes rarely go down). I imagine the average citizen thought, “You want me to make a long, expensive, dangerous journey so…

(In)Fidel Castro
Since his death last week, there has been no shortage of fawning news articles about Fidel Castro. (And no, these weren’t Cuban news articles. They were American). I had the distinct displeasure of reading two of them recently. One opened by calling Castro a fiery apostle of revolution. The other went on and on…
Hospice, Not a Hospital
Today’s post ran in the local paper where I live. I adapted it from a post that appeared on The Voice of One last year. *** Last year, I read Pope Francis’s encyclical, “Laudato Si: On Care for Our Common Home.” In it, the Pope lays out his views “on the environment and human ecology.”…
Jesus (Not Jones)
One of my mix CDs has a song by Jesus Jones called, “Right Here, Right Now.” During the chorus, the lyrics are, “Right here, right now, there is no other place I want to be. Right here, right now, watching the world wake up from history.” As the music rises and crests, you can almost…
