Injustice is all around us: violence and oppression, environmental degradation, racism, greed, and manipulation. We desire to make a difference so we embrace a new cause, participate in a new project, or offer help in a new crisis. Yet so often we...

Jesus is everywhere. He's in our books and on our TVs. We see him on T-shirts, bumper stickers, and greeting cards. You can be his friend on Facebook, edit his information on Wikipedia, make him your best friend, your boyfriend, or your homeboy. We run into him everywhere, but have we really encountered him? Is it even possible?...

When we imagine the good life, we often think of being free to do what we want. Rarely does our idea of the good life include the word "no." But what if our saying "no" is what frees us to...

One of the things that makes the human experience such an adventure is the many people we encounter along the way. People shape us, inspire us, bug us, and drain us. They hurt us and help us. They are companions of our greatest joys and our deepest heartaches. If there is one word that captures the complex life experience of King David, it is...

Living the Christian faith is indeed often difficult. In those rough patches of life we are tempted to throw in the towel and head for seemingly more comfortable places of refuge. Yet we must grasp that the Christian faith was never meant to be lived within the limitations of...

Historical accounts tell us that when Jesus' closest friends and followers first heard the news of his resurrection, they thought it was "nonsense" and "would not believe them." Is the resurrection of Jesus nonsense? For centuries thoughtful people...

People crave stories. Young children, captivated by the tall tales of Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty, or the countless colorful characters inspired by the imagination of Dr. Seuss, eagerly request "just one more bedtime story."

On New Year's Day, 1773, Pastor John Newton introduced a song to his congregation which he had written just days earlier.
