Is God Our First Look? by Andy Stoddard

Andy Stoddard October 17, 2018

It can be frustrating to do right.  It can be hard to be faithful and to follow God, especially when you see so many others that, in your mind, are not.  We see the wickedness. The greed.  All the things that others are doing wrong. It can be easy to give up, to say, “why keep trying?” Why should I

On Being Lost and Found Again by Michelle Bauer

Michelle Bauer October 10, 2018

If you have ever been lost, you know the feeling – one minute you are fine and the next you realize you have no idea where you are or how to get back. The Bible uses the metaphor of being lost to help us to understand what it is like to be far from God. If you are a follower

Faith-Sharing As A Way of Life by Rob Haynes

Rob Haynes October 8, 2018

The word “relational” gets thrown around a great deal when discussing evangelism. Just what that means deserves a closer examination. Allow me to illustrate one way I have in mind.

Preaching For The Long Haul: How To Find Your Voice by Andy Stoddard

Andy Stoddard October 8, 2018

My first appointment out of seminary was the hardest appointment that I’ve ever had.  It wasn’t because the people were hard to pastor: they were some of the sweetest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of serving.  It wasn’t because the church was located in a bad place: it was out in the country, a beautiful church and beautiful parsonage.

Why We Argue by John Turner

Wesleyan Accent October 1, 2018

Why do we argue? Is it so that we can win a competition, and feel the adrenaline rush of victory?  Is it to make another person feel ashamed of themselves?  Is it to make sure other people know what we support, or don’t support?  Is it because if we don’t, the other side will be the only ones talking? Facebook,

What’s Stronger: Wood or Steel? by Priscilla Hammond

Priscilla Hammond September 26, 2018

What’s stronger: wood or steel? You don’t even have to think about it, do you? Steel is a stronger construction material than wood. Steel is harder than wood, so of course, it’s the stronger of the two. But wait… My husband and I were hiking at Tallulah Gorge, and I stopped to take this photo. A steel cable that once held up

Redeeming Justice by Edgar Bazan

Edgar Bazan September 24, 2018

What is justice? The theme of justice is pervasive in the Bible but also is widely misunderstood by its readers. Commonly, people depict justice as a harsh judgment or deserved punishment, portraying God as the ultimate punisher or executioner.
