Stay With It

…his word. As I slowly read the story of Jesus healing Simon Peter’s mother-in-law, this phrase catches my attention: He went to her, took her hand and helped her up. If I had to choose a single word that stands out, it would be from Matthew’s account of this same miracle and the word would be: touch. As I reflect on this story, I notice how little of the action is done by Peter’s mother-in-law. JESUS AND A FEW DISCIPLES went to the home of Simon…

He tells us that acting and speaking justly are as important as ever in a Rashomon world. He tells us there is nothing as important as the immediate social and moral problems right in front of us.

The real Guy Fawkes was acting to secure religious freedom for English Catholics, but only so that they could then ban Protestantism. His methods, which would have caused many deaths, are certainly questionable. This sobering reality is important, especially in our troubled times, when religious radicals are all too ready to strap on explosives and ad…

If Christians are truly called to welcome in the orphaned and the parentless, then I believe the church — all of us, as a whole — must also answer the call along with these brave parents. Here are a few ways the church can answer this call: 1. Educate yourself. Learn about the long-term effects of trau…

The emphasis of the contemporary, secular academy (and culture at large) on inculcating undergraduates into a mindset of unguided “critical thinking” is pernicious. Lack of absolute certainty with respect to x, y, and z does not entail that we are incapable of knowing–with a high degree of…
