The Turn

…classroom on the first day of school, I also invite you to consider three practices during this first year and throughout your child’s schooling career that are critical to the growth of your child: 1. Pray for your child’s teacher, by name, every day. Prayer, as James 5:16 reminds us, “availeth much”. Pray that God will equip your child’s teacher to appropriately connect and motivate your child to learn as God has equipped him or her to learn. A…

Here We Are Now…Hold Us Together

…, I’m convinced that we need to help them see it’s okay to have doubts and questions—that’s part of our life of faith. I’m convinced that we need to let kids go through the motions sometimes. Perhaps “acting Christian” will help them later to live their faith more fully when it is full-grown. I’m thankful, after all, for the role models I had—teachers, especially. I’m thankful for Mrs. Aasen, my first grade teacher, who taught me to pray by talkin…

…se, you know, Kuyper’s ‘every-square-inch’ and all that.” (Let many others commence eye rolling). Somewhere between these two lies a healthy balance, but I wonder sometimes if we’re asking the wrong question. Instead of examining the art and looking for tell-tale signs that it’s “Christian,” wouldn’t it be healthier to ask, “Is the artist a Christian?” What I like about this question is it now frees us to stop looking for crosses and steeples and…

…God or not. A quick scan of the second table of the Ten Commandments gives examples. We commit adultery because we do not properly control our sexual desires. We commit murder (or hate our brother, Matthew 5:22) because we cannot control our thoughts and actions towards others. We give false testimony, out of either fear or anger, rather than accept the consequences of speaking truthfully. The tenth commandment, you shall not covet, forbids a diso…

I began to see that each person’s story was different, an idiosyncratic combination of push and pull factors, of external structural issues and deeply personal values, of altruistic virtue and selfish vice.

Research has shown (without an actual study being done) that God is sovereign and we are called to work hard and we are called to rest well in serving Him and others.

I’m not sure if it’s any more up to church leaders than it is up to parishioners.

Kuyper warns against the dangers of his idea at the end of his first volume of “Common Grace”. A door gives the Christian “new” felt access to the world, but world pushes back and gains access as well. The term “grace,” is misleading and gives the believer a false sense of security.

Is Consumerism Consuming Us?

We become dazzled by packaging, fixated on the glitzy glossy surface and misled about the true value of things.

Rather, consumerism creates a kind of abstract relationship with things so that…
