Is there a God of the Old Testament?

  April 4, 2013 - 9:47 am | light for my path
4 Comments

  We have this bad habit of creating a hard line of division between the Old and the New Testament.   I have even heard people (maybe even me at some points of my journey) talk about “the God of the Old Testament,” as if the birth of Jesus fundamentally … Continue reading →

What happens when we die?

  March 28, 2013 - 9:13 am | light for my path
5 Comments

  I am going to die.   Not soon. At least I hope not. But, regardless of when, I can say with confidence that someday, I will die. And you will do.   Is it weird to read that? It’s difficult to write it. I am a product of a … Continue reading →

The Broken Crayon and the Completed Work of Art

  March 26, 2013 - 6:00 am | light for my path
8 Comments

I wander around the art museum, trying to find my way. I was told there is a gift there for me.   When I finally arrive at the place I was told to go, I am stunned. The beauty that is before me is too much. I cannot move. It … Continue reading →

When we long for faith to be a black and white drawing

  March 21, 2013 - 8:56 am | light for my path
Leave a comment

  Sometimes I wish I lived in ancient Jerusalem.   I long for the clarity of a theocracy, in which the laws of the land and the laws of God are one and the same. Wouldn’t everything be so much easier if we lived in a place God promised to … Continue reading →

The Lord’s Prayer, Take Two

  March 19, 2013 - 8:24 am | light for my path
2 Comments

I was going to write a post today filled with platitudes about what the Lord’s Prayer teaches us about praying.   But the truth is, my own prayer life stinks.   If I wrote the kind of post I wanted to write, I would be the same kind of hypocrite … Continue reading →

Undissected Praise

  March 14, 2013 - 6:00 am | light for my path
Leave a comment

We humans have a tendency to dissect things to the point that what was once whole becomes a pile of unrecognizable pieces.   We think that looking at things from every angle helps us see more clearly, but I wonder sometimes if it actually puts our focus in the wrong … Continue reading →

Unending Conflict, Unending Forgiveness

  March 12, 2013 - 7:36 am | light for my path
5 Comments

There are many ways to practice unhealthy conflict resolution.   Sometimes, we run away from the person that hurt us, cutting off the relationship before we get hurt again. Sometimes, we bury the hurt, trying to maintain peace in the relationship, fearing turmoil in our own hearts. Sometimes, we talk … Continue reading →

Come and Deny, Follow and Rest

  March 5, 2013 - 6:00 am | light for my path
6 Comments

  Is there anything in this world that calls us to deny ourselves?   We buy what we want, fight for what we don’t have, and clamor to make it to the top. The more we have, the happier we will be, right? Doesn’t true contentment come with the fulfillment … Continue reading →

On becoming less self-centered

  February 28, 2013 - 7:03 am | light for my path
6 Comments

  I would be embarrassed if you could see my thoughts. I try to conceal how self-centered I am, but if you had this view to my inner mind, you would see the truth.   I think about myself all the time.   I get ready in the morning and … Continue reading →
