Can a Fat Person Be Made in the Image of God?

by Sarah Vander Plaats
…caring too much about other people’s judgment. Since losing the weight and realizing that how I think of my body hasn’t really changed, I’ve found myself wondering more and more why I’m so bothered by what people say. We’re told that people look at the outward appearance, but that God looks at the heart. I’m still only beginning to realize just how beautiful it is that our God doesn’t look at us the way we look at each other. I don’t want to sit s…

…sus. And, for some, it is a combination of both. Ultimately, it is about becoming a full-fledged member of the church. The formal act of professing faith takes place in two parts: before the elders and before the congregation. There are questions and answers. The elders ask questions about who you are; wonderful questions about belief, acceptance, and reliance. They seek promises to exhibit joy, walk in a spirit of love, and to seek peace. I reall…

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…

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?

“A Quiet Place” Review

by Josh Matthews
…ttack soon, quickly and loudly. However, “A Quiet Place” alters the silence-then-scream formula. Because the Abbotts cannot make a sound, nearly the entire movie is very quiet, and when they accidentally make a loud noise, it sets off a very tense sequence in which they wait in terror to be killed. So, the rare loud sounds in this movie don’t conclude incredibly tense sequences. Instead, they initiate them. Imagine trying to not make a sound, and…

Art as a non-literal form of communication makes it able to embody the complexity of Grace and the Fall simultaneously in one visual moment. I am concerned with the concept of labeling artwork as “Christian” and “not Christian” as this tends to reduce art to moralism, revering art that displays a positive, family friendly message created by a Christian artist and disregarding art that…

We belong to God, and God promises to use our faith to reveal Himself and His will to us as He determines. And so, we should stand firm in our faith. Let us find comfort in knowing that we a…

They know the “right” answers: to get a good job, to develop their skills, to be part of a community, even to grow in their faith. Just try telling them it’s possible to do this without going to college and they get cynical.
