…n times of spiritual crisis for the church. Perhaps such a time is rapidly coming upon followers of Christ in North America. Finally, a comment about church confessions and Christian organizations and institutions.

Consuming Rightly: The Task of Christian Higher Education

…sing on techniques, branding, and market niche, miss this basic point: the communal life and practice of Christian institutions are grounded either in the love of God or the love of Mammon. In an anxious and fearful world, Christian colleges have the unique opportunity to become an oasis of rest for young people who are accustomed to being hurried and fragmented. Rest, in this context, is not the absence of work, it is instead being enveloped by t…

…unclean, Gentile and Jew. The Samaritan, unshackled from such allegiance, freely comes to Jesus, understanding him as both a source of physical healing and a giver of social restoration. The verbs Jesus uses in this story reveal the progression. The ten were all initially “cleansed” (tharizo- “to be made clean or healed of a disease”). But the Samaritan, upon returning to Jesus, was “made well,” (sozo- “to be healed of spiritual disease and death…

…our ability to follow the rules. The promise of the God who penned the Ten Commandments is named even before the first commandment is uttered: “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery” (Exodus 20:2). Before anything was required of God’s people, God reminded them that they were set free—that their cries for deliverance were heard. Grace precedes the law, then and now. This promise is born afresh…

What would become of us were we not supported by hope, and did not our minds emerge out of the midst of darkness above the world through the light of God’s word and of his Spirit? Only personal examination will show for sure, but it is possible that the songs we sing and listen to betray a preference for generic hope, assu…

Homes are hard to keep clean, marriage is difficult sometimes, kids are naughty, loss is hard, relationships can be messy and we have personal struggles.

Again in Matthew 25:13, we are warned: “watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” That same concept is repeated again and again throughout Scripture, with each repetition reminding us to be vigilant, to seek the Lord while He may be found (Isaiah 55:6) because there will come a time when it will b…

I think I grew up—like many in the church—with a faith complex. “If only I had more faith, my life would go better,” I thought, or “If only I had more faith, God would take this or that problem away.” When I read, “According to your faith it will be done to you,” it seems to be a line about my deficiency. Again if you’re like me, there are a couple of problems with thinking this way. One of those problems is that it’s a type of…

There is a fear of collapse of free public life in both ways, inwardly toward our individualist cul-de-sacs—and interior oppression—and on top of us, through a tyranny that holds fragmenting publics together through force and terror. It is not centripetal or centrifugal collapse, it is—bafflingly—both, at the same time. What can this…
