Faith (244)
  1. The Church needs mystics again. Not fringe figures, but saints ablaze with love.
  2. When you remember your baptism, you're not recalling a ritual. You're standing under a current of divine action that has not ceased to flow since the moment those baptismal waters hit your skin.
  3. If you struggle with doubt, take heart: You are not alone.
  4. If Jesus rose from the dead, then his claims about himself and his promises to humanity warrant serious attention and response.
  5. God is a judge, but unlike you, God is just!
  6. Polycarp’s faith, life, writings, and even his death revealed the fruit of faith and love grafted into his heart by Christ the Vine.
  7. Luther’s famous treatise contains great consolation for Christians struggling with grace, suffering, and hope.
  8. By the end of this prayer of wrestling, David finally has the strength to claim victory over his lying enemies.
  9. There is a “re” involved with baptism, but unlike the Anabaptists, it’s not a “re-do,” but a “re-turn" or a “re-member.”
  10. Belief at Christmas is neither neat nor safe. It is the path that leads to the manger and, from there, to the cross.
  11. While Christmas may or may not have pagan roots, it will certainly have a pagan future if Christians lose sight of what it is all about.
  12. The world rushes forward, lighting up screens and decking out storefronts in a mad sprint toward the next thing, but Advent pulls us back.
