Losing Jesus’ Testimony
Instead of choosing a cafeteria-style Christianity, I pledged to consider the Bible as a whole in my quest to determine who God is.
Closed Hearts and the End of Mercy
I don’t see God arbitrarily removing His mercy and forgiveness from our world; I see Him describing probation from a different angle, using Pharaoh’s hardened heart as a metaphor for the condition of our world. We close probation on ourselves.
Paul’s Different God: Angry or Groaning?
For Paul, the gospel is not about being saved from an angry God but a message grounded in God’s rescuing love for the world and fully revealed in the faithfulness of Jesus. Now that’s a game changer!
A Veggie Diet and the Desert Fathers
I long for a theology of divine compassion and love in this world. God cares for us deeply, but His compassion isn’t for us alone.
Becoming Flesh and the Incarnated Life
The incarnation tells me that God deeply loves humanity and is drawing us—you and me—into divine fellowship.
Pagan Magi Can Find Jesus
Instead of aiming to reject every pagan influence, let’s keep our focus on Jesus. The radically humble and loving way that God came into this world remains significant. While we should affirm biblical teachings and be grateful for the special revelation God has given us, we should recognize that God shines light on others—even heathen outsiders—who may have something to teach us.

I Do Not Know You
Deep emotional closeness with an absent God is not easy to achieve. How can we forge a relationship with a distant God as we continue to wait for Him?
When God Flips Tables
If Jesus walked through and examined the courts of our lives today, what tables might He flip over? I want Jesus to enter my courts, driving out everything that hinders a close relationship with Him, because life’s most important goal is dwelling in His presence.
The First Plant-Based Thanksgiving
As a vegetarian, what do I eat for Thanksgiving? Our family table is spread with a variety of delicious and flavorful dishes
