Why we are grumpy
Another well-known cognitive bias is called the actor-observer bias. It’s simply this: We see our own behavior as caused by external circumstances. We see others’ behavior as due to their own internal decisions. We’re both grumpy? Well, that’s because the dog woke me up too early this morning, plus I just got an unfair parking […]

Make the big ask
There is a difference between teaching for application and teaching for commitment. We need both. Teaching for application explores all the ways the Bible applies to our life. But it doesn’t actually ask people to do anything. Teaching for commitment asks for the order. It asks for people to lay down their lives. It asks […]

What is God up to?
Imagine yourself as a house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, you understand what He’s doing. He’s getting the drains right and fixing the leaks in the roof and so on. You knew those jobs needed doing, so you’re not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way […]

Are we there yet?

Unchanged
Hank, as we’ll call him, was a cranky guy. He did not smile easily, and when he did, the smile often had a cruel edge to it, coming at someone’s expense. He had a knack for discovering islands of bad news in oceans of happiness. He would always find a cloud where others saw a […]
