The Grace Blizzard Has Come (December 7, 2025)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 11:30 PM

This week’s sermon:

When a winter forecast keeps bouncing around, most of us know better than to cancel everything over what might never arrive. Luke opens his Gospel with the opposite claim: this is no chance of grace next week, but the report of what has already been fulfilled among us—Jesus actually coming in history.

Winning Our Way to a Lost Christian Witness

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 1:23 PM
My column this week:

This week, a Christian friend shared a new claim about an alleged health cure based on an event that never happened. Another shared what the briefest of searches would have revealed was a falsehood about a political foe. The short-term “win” is often a long way from the truth.

My column this week:

Lassoing the Truth (February 9, 2025)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 11:30 PM

This week’s sermon:

We may think it’d be nice if there were a device where we could make people tell the truth. But, what about ourselves? We take credit that belongs to someone else, withhold truth when it could help, or pass along a claim we have not checked. How out of control are our own words everyday?

52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 21: James)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 7:30 PM

Jim Krenning takes us to the Epistle of James to think about how sin affects our testimony and how faithfulness can point people to Jesus. I love the way Jim points us to how our actions influence others in faithfulness.
