I am in Distress

by Roy Berkenbosch
Daily Scripture Texts Psalm 31:9-16 Job 13:13-19 Philippians 1:21-30 My sister received news of the accident that claimed suddenly and shockingly the life of her youngest child, my nephew Doug, on the same day that she received news of her cancer diagnosis. Psalm 31 was written for her I suppose. I and my family were living in Bangladesh at the time so I could not be present to see her ‘eyes waste away from grief’ nor the way in which sorrow and…

In the book, he writes about a time when a person called him and asked if he would be willing to contact a friend who had shared a common grief–that of losing a child. Tony agreed and made several phone calls to help council this man, and on one of the last calls, the man asked what Tony’s occupation was. Tony Dungy told him he was a football coach, and the man aske…

At this point, they argue, we will be able to download our brains into a computer and live indefinitely in a virtual paradise, an event that has been coined the “rapture of the geeks.” With the current pace of advances in computing, some believe this will happen by 2045. I believe such a view assumes a profoundly mistaken notion…

Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check” (3:2). If we are all guilty of stumbling, then it becomes obvious that the one who was able to keep his entire body in check is none other than Jesus—he who was (and is) perfectly humble, honest, and a defender of the marginalized.

Having their own money to spend gave the kids some agency. It also radically reduced the number of times our children asked my husband and me to buy extra items for them while shopping. We could coolly ask, “Do you have enough money to buy it? Is that how you want to spend it?”1 To minimize p…

What does the Bible mean when Paul writes about the frustrated and decaying creation? At one level the interpretation is clear enough; creation suffers because of human sin. The passage refers back to Genesis, where Adam’s first sin resulted in God’s judgment, including a curse to creation itself, which would now be…

How can I view this ‘state of being’ as a gift?  Restlessness positions us in the dark place, or what some call the wilderness.

All of this, Neo-Calvinists contend, is divine generosity, “a confession of the love of the Triune God to the cosmos in toto.”2 If humans find any goodness, beauty, or truth in a fallen world, we owe thanks to God not only for it but also for our ability to grasp it.

The acting in “Gal” (Zoe Kazan and Bill Heck) is so spot-on that its ending is as poignant as any 2018 movie’s. The chatty, macabre “Mortal…
