The Loud and Colorful God of Scripture
Henri Nouwen, a priest and prolific writer on the spiritual life, had just finished an exhausting lecture tour and was “dead tired, so much so that I could barely walk.” He was anxious, lonely, restless, and, in his words, “very needy.” As he visited the office of a friend, he came across a reproduction of […]

His kingdom will never end
His kingdom will never end. LUKE 1:33 She looks into the face of the baby. Her son. Her Lord. His Majesty. At this point in history, the human being who best understands who God is and what he is doing is a teenage girl in a smelly stable. She can’t take her eyes off him. Somehow […]

Naturalist Pathway
One Christmas Eve afternoon I escaped to walk through a favorite part in the woods on the outskirts of Manassas, Virginia. The quiet, motionless world was a welcomed change from the butting and clawing of the department stores and malls. The stillness created a sense of expectancy of the birth of Christ, which was far […]

Sacred Pathways
David connected with God when he was a shepherd out in a field with his sheep, long before he became king. His son Solomon drew closer to God through wisdom and knowledge. Years later, when the Messiah descended from David’s line came, a woman named Mary would show her faith by caring for God’s Son […]

Rethinking death
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! PSALM 139:17 NKJV Aging is a universal condition. But the way we try to hide it, you would think it was a plague! There are girdles which compact the middle-age spread for both sexes. There are hair transplants, wigs, toupees, […]

Sin is refusing to believe that God is good
The oft-misunderstood Christian notion of sin makes many people uncomfortable. Indeed, it establishes a clear line of accountability — but to a God who loves me and has my best interests at heart. Again the parallel to a doctor applies. Coming from a strict church background, I missed this good-news aspect of God’s wisdom. I […]

Joseph’s Courage and Sacrifices
An angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.” —Matthew 1:20 NIV It’s easy to overlook people who, by choice or assignment, stay in the background […]

God sent Himself
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. JOHN 1:14 NKJV Don’t we love the word “with”? “Will you go with me?” we ask. “To the store, to the hospital, through my life?” God says he will. “I am with you always,” Jesus said before he ascended to heaven, “to the very end of the […]

I can’t wait until I wake up
You must change and become like little children. Otherwise, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. MATTHEW 18:3 Bedtime is a bad time for kids. No child understands the logic of going to bed while there is energy left in the body or hours left in the day. My children are no exception. A few years […]
