My Purple Yoga Pants

My Orwellian Yoga Pants - Sermo Humilis

I used to be a fairly impressionable guy and, for the most part, I was willing to roll wherever my earthly appetites took me. But then I came to Christ, or, to be more accurate, Christ came to me, and I believed. Having paddled along behind Jesus these past 35 years, I find my … [Read more...] about My Purple Yoga Pants

Common Deception

Common Deception - Sermo Humilis

Nobody likes to be deceived. In fact, we dislike it so much that we will often refuse to believe we have been deceived. Our talent for being self-deceived is bad, real bad. It's worse than we know.

The Courts of Mercy - Sermo Humilis

"When the Son sets you free you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36). It's one of the central tenets of our faith. Jesus came to set the captives free. But what does it mean to be free?
