Wallace and Son’s

Last updated on: February 4, 2021 at 4:14 pm By Layne Wallace

The Wallace Clan at the 50th Anniversary of Wallace and Son’s A big change is coming to my hometown of Rockingham, NC. Due to my Dad’s retirement, Wallace & Son’s Tire Center has been closed. Wallace & Son’s was my family’s business. It provided livelihood for three generations and was an honest provider of auto services to the community. The family just called Wallace & Son’s “the station.” The property has been sold to a restaurant chain, and the buildings... Read more

The End of the Enlightenment

Last updated on: December 9, 2020 at 9:21 pm By Layne Wallace

Photo by Mike Chai on Pexels.co Have you ever wondered what is going on in the world around you? Have you wondered why social media has become a battleground instead of a way to enjoy life? Does it bother you when people cannot allow other to disagree without trying to impugn them? If you answered yes, you might be noticing an important shift in the way our culture works. Those of you who know me know I have a love... Read more

Do Miracles Happen

Last updated on: December 2, 2020 at 10:23 pm By Layne Wallace

Photo by Aleksandr Burzinskij on Pexels.com Do miracles happen? Are they a fiction of a pre-scientific era? Should the Church still believe that miracles can happen now? Among modern Neo-Calvinists, including luminaries like John MacArthur, a theological trend has taken root. It is called, cessationism, the belief that miracles ceased at the end of the Apostolic era. Drawing from the work of the Reformers, they argue miracles have ceased as a way to authenticate the Gospel. Miracles, God’s intervention in... Read more

Spaghetti Night, Toddlers, and My Mom

Last updated on: November 18, 2020 at 8:16 pm By Layne Wallace

Grandmama and Mom Abbie and spaghetti night shenanigans Recently, Molly, the girls, and I were having one of our favorite dinners, spaghetti. When little people eat spaghetti, it is always a big mess. Now, it is an entertaining mess, but a big one nonetheless. This dinner did not disappoint. In preparation for the mess we put the girls in their chairs wearing only their diapers because there is no clothing yet invented that can withstand the horrible combination of toddlers... Read more

Veterans Day and the Prince of Peace

Last updated on: November 10, 2020 at 5:08 pm By Layne Wallace

Photo by Alex Andrews on Pexels.com On the 11thday of the 11thmonth on the 11thhour, World War I came to an end. The horror of the event is difficult for us living over 100 years after the end of the hostilities to imagine. At the outset of hostilities, the combatants believed the war would be short and that victory was assured. Their miscalculation was colossal. The war was long and gruesome. Statistics tell a horrendous story. Estimates are that 8.5... Read more

Election Day

Last updated on: November 3, 2020 at 2:31 pm By Layne Wallace

Photo by Element5 Digital on Pexels.com Today is election day, and it has dawned on me that my experience with this election is very different from the experience of many others. Some years ago, Molly and I “cut the cord” and no longer have cable TV. We get our TV from Hulu and other online providers, and we seldom watch live TV or network TV. In fact, while the girls are up, we spend most of our time on watching... Read more

9.5 Thesis

Last updated on: October 28, 2020 at 9:19 pm By Layne Wallace

Photo by Flickr on Pexels.com One of my favorite memories of my honeymoon is our trip to the Vatican. It is simply amazing. It is beautiful beyond expression and utterly moving. As Molly and I toured the breathtaking city and the magnificent St. Peter’s Basilica I made a little pun. “Molly do you know what this cost? The Protestant Reformation.” I, of course, am the king of bad puns. What I said, though, was true. On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther... Read more

What Is God Like?

Last updated on: October 20, 2020 at 7:36 pm By Layne Wallace

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com What is God like? Humans have a remarkable way of projecting what is inside of us onto what is outside of us. You can see that in the way we describe other people. For example, when we critique others, especially if we do it in a mean-spirited way, we most often use categories that are familiar to us. The behaviors we tend to critique and expand on when we critique others are usually the flaws... Read more

Getting Your Church “Unstuck”

Last updated on: October 13, 2020 at 8:00 pm By Layne Wallace

We live in a culture that is toxic to leadership, so argued the social thinker and Rabbi Edwin Friedman. What Freidman meant was that in our culture we have developed a regressive mood.[1]It is a mood that is destructive, bent on artificial togetherness, and more oriented toward safety than adventure. In such an environment, leadership is difficult because the forces of regression subvert any change in the status quo—even if everyone secretly knows the status quo is toxic. While Freidman...

Sliding Into Darkness

Last updated on: October 5, 2020 at 4:03 pm By Layne Wallace

Photo by Luis Dalvan on Pexels.com How do you know when the light has gone out. We humans are remarkably adaptable to our social environment, and even large-scale changes can escape our notice. Because we can adapt so readily, we may not notice when we the society at large has slipped into darkness. The last few weeks though, have revealed a slip into darkness that should disturb not only believers, but also anyone who wants a good and just society.... Read more
