Stories from Nejapa

by Kathleen Van Tol
…s something beautiful about having a room full of children stand up and welcome you and ask God to bless you. After looking at the work that Maria was completing with her partner and touching base with her teacher, I moved on to another classroom. At recess, though, I saw Maria again. She came up to me, two friends in tow. One of her friends is American and Maria wanted her to come and speak to me in English. I chatted with this young girl for a f…

…same.   “As Eastman reminds us, ancient African Christians are part of the communion of saints, those who are ‘in Christ.’” Part four examines the Donatist Controversy, one of the worst schisms of the ancient church. As many bishops and pastors handed over their books to the Romans to avoid persecution, their legitimacy to administer the sacraments and preach was called into question. The Donatists held that bishops and pastors who handed the book…

Life as a Writer

by Kendra Broekhuis
…latforms who are already selling loads of books. You hear women talk about comparing themselves to each other and competing with each other through their work as wives, or as moms, or as Jesus People. And this is where it is easy for me to get entrapped in that game too. I follow other writers on social media to learn from them professionally, but it can be hard to remember my goal is not to become them or to duplicate their journey of faith. Ther…

Sabbath, Sleep and Saying ‘No’ to Busy-ness

by Emily Munger
…ompassion, yes, but never the burden of guilt. In Matthew 11: 28-30, Jesus frees us from the burdens we place upon ourselves and others: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” So if you’re up for the challenge of holding Jesus’ truth against the many wa…

Like every influence on a good Christian has to come second to “Jesus and the Bible,” as we used to say as kids. (Always a safe answer.) Maybe it’s the short synopsis here that is confusing. Was it intended as humor? I could see that. Shortest book description, but this one is about your salvation and God’s plan for everything. That ‘s what comes in…

…ttitude. This Sunday, one of our teaching pastors talked about Jesus being completely free from fear. Jesus would echo Psalm 27:3 when he tells the storm to calm down. When he walks through a murderous mob. When he willfully went to the cross. The measured steps of a fearless man. What do he and Wonder Woman know that I have forgotten? What’s the secret? The writer of Psalm 27 spends the next few verses talking about what it’s like to dwell with G…

La La Land: A Musical For Everyone

…f you’re not a self-proclaimed musical lover, this film as a story that is compelling for anyone to grasp onto. We all are searching for answers to which only love can give answers, and it doesn’t have to be romantic love. We are all looking for a place to belong, and sometimes that feels so far away and distant, we’re dreaming of a fairy tale … we’re living in la la land. I think that Chazelle’s answer is that love and dreams can be achieved by a…

It is also the complex expression of a parent who worries about how his children behave in public, and what kind of adults they will become. Most parents will deeply feel the weight of the movie’s basic question, which is how and why we try to keep our kids quiet in stores, on planes, in church, in classrooms, and anywhere else we receive bad looks and scorn if our children are too loud f…

…at the pesky Gentile woman bests the Son of God in conversation amidst his companions—and Jesus declares her faith “great” (Mt 15:27; Mk 7:28). Thus, we remember that Jesus came not to call the healthy but the sick (Mt 9:12; Lk 5:31), and that God’s grace is truly free and inevitably contains some unpredictability. You can be the greatest of all “flaming pagans” and the most passive of “nominal Christians,” but you are still only one step away fro…

For Paul and for all members of the body of Christ, unity in the church and the glory of God are a “both-and” that go together. To experience Jesus and to hear Paul in ways that speak directly to conflicts in our own times, we can listen to a fascinating witness named Will D. Campbell, in…

We do not have to worry about those sins that we have committed because Jesus took all of them away, with one payment. We can never do anything to repay him for what he has done. We have a free gift that we do not deserve. We should be elated by this verse: We should find our arm hairs and blood levels rising. We have the freedom to live for God withou…
