Recalculating by Rob Haynes

Rob Haynes April 6, 2022

I don’t always have the best sense of direction. That is one reason why I was particularly thankful when GPS systems became available for your car. I no longer had to pull over to look at a map, rather I could just obediently listen to the voice traveling with me, telling me where to turn. When I strayed from the

Sitting on the Stone by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman March 28, 2022

This month begins our journey to Jerusalem and our celebration of the resurrection – the heart of the good news! Jesus has risen from the dead, overcome evil, and given us eternal life! And yet, this good news comes amidst a lot of difficult news. War in Ukraine, genocide in Myanmar, illness, death, injustice, oppression, poverty, hunger – the list

Why We Must Develop Habits Of Deeper Discernment

Wesleyan Accent February 25, 2022

The demands of our world make it abundantly clear that we urgently need Christians who cultivate habits of discernment. Discernment can be challenging to define and practice at the best of times, but it is absolutely vital at certain moments. And within the practice of discernment lies a quiet habit that may seem like a rabbit trail leading off from

The Word of God by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman February 23, 2022

Scripture focus: I run the way of your commandments, for you enlarge my understanding. (Psalm 119:32, NRSV) We have begun 2022 with two understandings about Scripture. It’s God’s path and God’s breath. This month I want to offer a third understanding about Scripture. It’s God’s Word. I realize describing Scripture as the Word of God can make some of

Overcoming Antagonism: What You Can Learn From Nehemiah by Edgar Bazan

Edgar Bazan February 14, 2022

At our church, we’re spending time in the book of Nehemiah and learning how it is that amazing things happen. So far, we’ve explored how amazing things happen when we pray, when we plan, and when we work together. Consider with me now how amazing things happen when we overcome antagonism. Let’s quickly recap the context of the book of

Come, Lord Jesus: How to Pray For Everything by Carolyn Moore

Carolyn Moore May 4, 2017

A few days ago I visited a mercy ministry in another town as part of our preparation and planning for building a capacity-building ministry in our community. Talking with the director of the ministry I visited, I was reminded again of just how many beautiful souls there are in the world. I keep running into people who care deeply about

Embracing God Who Creates by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman May 3, 2017

Creation is never an extra in Christian faith; it is foundational. All else moves outward from there.

When Did the United Methodist Church Really Sell Her Soul? by Maxie Dunnam

Maxie Dunnam May 3, 2017

“The writer who contends we lost our soul when we adopted the mission statement inisists that, “love God, love neighbor” would be a better mission statement from a “Wesleyan” perspective. Would you not think that love for our neighbor compels us to share Christ with them, that doing justice and loving mercy is for the transformation of the world and

My Call to Senior Pastoral Ministry by Tara Beth Leach

Tara Beth Leach April 26, 2017

Since I can remember, I’ve had a pastor’s heart. Often times when I hear someone talk badly about the Church, I get offended in the way a sibling gets offended when someone is talking about her sister—“Hey, don’t talk about my sister like that!” I ache to see the Church live into the fullness of holiness in which she has

Praying Around the Globe by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman April 24, 2017

Let your eyes wander to places you’ve never heard of, or cities you can’t pronounce. Ask God to be at work in those places. When you’ve prayed around the world, turn the globe so you can see your home region. Picture a map being zoomed in around your house or flat, and pray for God to be at work in

Your (Global) Teenager by Elizabeth Glass Turner

elizabeth.turner April 24, 2017

Before social media and the prevalence of pop culture, it was a lot easier to enforce whatever ideologies you wanted your child to follow. But as globalization increased, this changed. Young people became increasingly exposed to the rest of the world. Today, their ideologies and values no longer find a basis in what their priest or imam preaches but in

Your Future Is in Your Feet! by Kelcy Steele

Kelcy Steele April 22, 2017

Don’t ask God to guide your footsteps if you’re not willing to move your feet.

Dennis F. Kinlaw: Naming and Showing that Mysterious Quality by Jerry Walls

Jerry Walls April 20, 2017

Unfortunately, the word holiness conjures up for many people images of repressive legalism, dour dogma, and joyless judgmentalism. Much of the holiness movement seems to have forgotten that John Wesley constantly insisted that holiness and happiness are inseparable. Indeed, one Wesley’s most memorable descriptions of God was “the fountain of happiness, sufficient for all the souls he has made.”
