A desperate need for reverence
Do we honor God as completely as we should?
Boldness
My mission to spread the bold colors around is not that urgent. I admire gardens that are color-coordinated with two or three subtle tones. Each garden has its own personality, and a bold color scheme is not for everyone. What we do want to accomplish is to add boldness to our faith.
Overcoming temptation
When Jesus was tempted, he faced the temptation as a human being, the same as we do. He did not use his deity to shield him from the devil’s enticements.
The weight of the weightier matters
We are drawn to Scripture for our knowledge of justice – meaning to be treated according to what it means to be human. What it means to be human is tied to being one who bears the image of God.
The church is eternal; we are not
When God establishes something, it is forever. His kingdom is a long, never-ending river reaching to eternity.
The differences between evangelism and church growth
We all have a part in the success or failure of the local congregation.
Grenada or Granada, or does it matter?
Two men boarded a British Airways flight in Washington D.C., for Granada, Spain, but noticed on their connecting flight out of London that they were headed for the Caribbean island of Grenada instead. They are suing BA for the mistake. But should it matter?
The next big thing
One of the joys of gardening is that each season, each month, sometimes as often as each day there is something new.
Security
Danger comes in almost infinite forms and may be confronted anywhere.
Who begat whom?
Although we might find some genealogies tedious, what if the list of names were your ancestors? We would probably be more interested in these lists if we knew who they were and that they were related to us.
