Everyone assumes their perspective is a healthy and balanced one. If we can see one person off in one direction, and another off in the other, we must be the one holding the privileged position of balance. But maybe we need to take an often-overlooked factor into account. Ever since Genesis 3, humanity has been pickled in …
The Bible tells us that God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. So what do we do? Typically we tell ourselves to act humbly until we are truly humble. But this seems to highlight the problem, namely, our pride. How prideful it is to think that we can, by our own volition, …
I’ve been reading Re-Thinking Dionysius the Areopagite (Coakley & Stang, eds.). The “re-thinking” in the title caught my attention. Most of us have never had a first thought about Dionysius so the idea of a re-think is odd. Never mind, though, whether we know him or not. It’s very likely that he has helped shape …
The Psalms tend to become more precious as life’s experience becomes more complete. To the younger person who feels invincible, the Psalms may feel awkwardly poetic. But to the one who suffers, Psalms sings precious and personal comfort. Take Psalm 56, for example. It is one of David’s, and it is one of the small …
What role does the Holy Spirit play in our salvation? I ask because most formal conversations about salvation feature the Father and the Son while largely ignoring the Spirit.

Aren’t there times in our lives when worshiping God, not just in song but in all aspects of our lives, just doesn’t seem all that appetizing? And …
I was recently preaching from Paul’s missionary journeys in Acts. As I was working with one of the passages I was struck by Paul’s use of the term “repent/repentance.” Since this is such a critical term biblically, I decided to study all the uses of the terms in Acts. In the Old Testament prophets, the …
The Jesus who shows up in a bold, fast-paced, Bible reading is remarkably demanding and incredibly delightful. He overwhelms us both in what he offers and in what he asks for. The problem is that we’re not ready for it. So much so that there’s good reason to ask how many followers of Christ actually …

For a while any time I read that God is jealous, whose “name is Jealous” (Ex. 34:14), it didn’t sit well with me and left me confused. How could God be jealous when jealousy is wrong? I always heard as a child it was wrong to be jealous of another’s skills, friends, possessions, etc. and …
