elizabeth.turner October 26, 2017

Recently I read a moving account of one German woman’s actions and the impact that they had. A 92-year-old man living in New Jersey received a three-page letter from her in which she apologized for wrongs long past. Reading it, he wept. As the article recounts about the letter writer, “Doris Schott-Neuse…told him how her grandfather had acquired Hirschmann’s family home under the Nazis, expressing her shame

When You Don’t Have The Words by Andy Stoddard

Andy Stoddard October 25, 2017

Have you ever felt like there was something that you needed to say for Jesus, but you didn’t have the words?  You didn’t know what you should say or how you should say it?  I’ve been there.  I think we’ve all been there. At times, we talk ourselves out of witnessing to someone or saying something to someone, because of fear within us about what

A Fiction of Hope by Justin Gentry

Justin Gentry October 18, 2017

We are so drawn to pessimism because pessimism at the end of the day is easier. It is easier to look down than it is to look up.

Boundaries And Forgiveness by Aaron Perry

Aaron Perry October 16, 2017

Jesus taught that if, when offering a gift to God at the altar, you remember a brother or sister has something against you, you should go and be reconciled and then return to offer your gift (Matt. 5:24). I get the impression that reconciliation is the gift God intends to give the worshipper—even before a gift has been brought to

IKEA Discovers the Secret to Evangelism by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman November 12, 2015

But when we share faith with others, we don’t tell them what they should believe. We tell them what we believe – and more importantly, who we trust, which brings us once again to relationship.

Infant Baptism and Beyond: A Systematic Approach (Part IV) by Ken Loyer

Ken Loyer November 11, 2015

The Binary Eucharist by Elizabeth Glass Turner

elizabeth.turner November 5, 2015

I like my smartphone. I like Facebook (sometimes), Twitter, and email. I like accessing directions while I’m driving somewhere. You may be different, preferring a flip phone, cork bulletin boards and stopping at a gas station for directions. I understand that. Most of us live with one foot in both worlds, enjoying crisp Christmas cards in the mailbox and photos of loved

Caught Not Taught by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman October 29, 2015

Jesus reminds us that if we keep a seed in our hands and clutch it with a closed fist, it will never grow. We must open our hands and let go of the seed. The problem is that many of us are living with closed hands. When we live like that, nothing can grow either within us or within others.

Free Will in Brazil: Interview with Jerry Walls

Jerry Walls October 26, 2015

I think the deepest appeal of Wesleyan theology is that is heartily affirms a God who is truly good and sincerely loves all persons. God does not determine, God empowers, enables, encourages. And the message that God loves us and wants to empower us to love him back, as well as each other is a message of great hope.

Marriage, Human Sexuality, and the Body: From the Beginning It Was Not So by Timothy Tennent

Timothy Tennent October 22, 2015

For example, we often describe a “sacrament” as an outward sign of an inward and spiritual grace, but then we limit ourselves by thinking of sacraments only in terms of the two which Christ established: baptism and the Eucharist. Wesley, on the other hand, prodded us to think more deeply and expansively about all the means of grace which, for

If You’re Wanting More from Your Devotionals, Try This by Tom Fuerst

Tom Fuerst October 19, 2015

For many of us, when we read the Bible, we read it from the perspective of people who need encouragement, therapy, challenge, hope, or even love. These are all good things that we do, indeed, need. But usually these needs arise from a larger situation that involves someone or something hurting us. For example, we need encouragement because a boss

A More Excellent Way by Jeff Rudy

Soul Seasons by Carrie Carter

Carrie Carter October 15, 2015

“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1 In case you didn’t know it, fall has arrived. The earth tilts on its axis and the days shorten, the air grows crisp, leaves change from green to varying hues of red, orange, and yellow, and combines roar through fields of golden-brown corn, stirring
