The Church's Wisdom in the Voting Booth

We step into the voting booth with one foot on the outside. We are Americans, to be sure, but we are much more. We are citizens of the kingdom of God, over which the King of kings reigns supreme.

Be Careful with Imperatives

Imperatives are good for many things. Luther said the Law is good, but precisely because it is good, it has become poison and death to the bad. The Law does not give life but evaluates it, and we encounter day in and day out its negative evaluation of us.

Love that gives Freedom, Freedom that Produces Love

The love God showed for us in the death of his Son continues in us because we remain his children as long as we are incorporated in the body of Jesus through faith.

Prodigal at the Well

The Lord who stood before her seemed reckless in His love. Her sin didn't deter Him. Rather, it was the reason He came.

Dialogical Preaching or Not

In the pursuit of democratizing the worship experience, we go from hearing the voice of God to hearing voices and in some cases hearing our own voice!
