Such persons who have not yet demonstrated their usefulness, or have lived beyond their ability to be productive in Mammon’s terms, would remind the whole community that our identity is not bound up in our accomplishments.”3 That sounds like a church at its be…

…raelites failed to realize was that without the presence of true humility, passion, and love in their hearts, they could not offer the slightest of exaltations to their Maker. Similarly, if the Concert Choir members chose to utter the lyrics and notes before them, yet did not seek to direct their praise towards heaven while doing so, the same hypocrisy that the Israelites exhibited would apply to these singers, as well. As the performers’ voices r…

The opening eponymous story, “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs” offers singalongs and showdowns, as a white-clad cowboy, Buster Scruggs himself (Tim Blake Nelson), proves how tough and smiley a movie cowboy can be. Meanwhile, the second story that follows, “Near Algodones” (starring James Franco and Stephen Root), features hangings, Indians, c…

Despite its encyclopedic size, Watkin does not offer his book as a comprehensive tome that provides all the answers; instead, he provides a set of tools applied along the horizon set by a Biblical perspective, and he invites others in to observe these concepts in action, then go out and explore where they might apply them. My students found this call to be both bracing and generative for their own thinking, and I recomm…

Although our community has a younger and more active population that results in a lower mortality rate than many similar places in the area, there still is quite enough that the specter of death is never too far out of mind. I know it sounds cliché, but it’s true that each death is unique. I’ve watched one of our residents “rage, rage against…

In addition to the fact that I apparently have a soft spot for Christmas carols with the symphonic “O” in their title, I love “O Come” because it is achingly beautiful. The minor key quiets my frenzied brain even as it stirs up deeper longings in my soul—a hunger and thirst for righteousness, to see Jesus face-to-face. When I liste…
