A Distant Heaven

October 30, 2020November 2, 2020 ~ Matt Larimer ~ Leave a comment

Almost every night for the past few years I’ve been awakened by a small hand taping me on the shoulder. As I roll over and before I can even open my eyes, I hear the voice of my youngest daughter whispering, “can I cuddle you daddy?” What surprises me the most about this nightly routine … Continue reading A Distant Heaven

God in Christ: Peace and Justice Must Come From Within

July 6, 2020July 7, 2020 ~ Matt Larimer ~ Leave a comment

No courtroom verdict can fully bring justice and no jury can mend a broken heart. Peace must come from within.

Theft leads quickly … Continue reading My Grandfather’s Keeper

Someone recently told me they thought the debate over the atonement would have to stop before any type of serious reconciliation could happen within the church. I disagree! And whether it’s the eternal optimist in me or my love of debate I can’t tell. But what I do know is that this topic is worth … Continue reading Things Fall Apart
