It’s true. They do matter. Of course they matter. They matter just as much as any other human life. George Floyd should not have died. He was killed by a Minneapolis police officer’s excessive use of force. It’s awful. The officer(s) should face prosecution for how they handled the whole situation and Mr. Floyd’s death.

God is consistent, but He is not emotionless. He has just witnessed the people He created for His glory murder His Son. But today, His demeanor changed, and He gave me a … Continue reading A Witness With Wings
Something about this bothers me. I had governed over many crucifixions, but never had I seen a crowd overrule Pontius Pilate like this one did. And for what reason? Normally agents of Rome never yield to their subjects, especially Pilate. I wish he had not given me this order. Then he washed his hands of it. I wish I could wash MY hands of this, … Continue reading A Centurion’s Story
