How to Be a Neighbor
One way to make friends is simply to get to know your neighbors. For a while, my wife and I were renting. We moved frequently. Over time, we developed a simple routine that we still use whenever we move into a new house. First, we visit all our immediate neighbors—usually the two houses on our […]

There is no such thing as Christian work
There is no such thing as Christian work. That is, there is no work in the world which is, in and of itself, Christian. Christian work is any kind of work, from cleaning a sewer to preaching a sermon, that is done by a Christian and offered to God. This means that nobody is excluded […]

30 Prophecies about Jesus
Maybe you’re like me when my professor looked at me with disdain, as though I had thrown my brains in the trash to be a follower of Jesus. Or maybe you’re like so many people that I meet who have unconsciously bought into the “who can trust a 2000-year-old book to give direction to their […]
