No Pointing by Rob Haynes

Rob Haynes April 13, 2020

I know a man who works at a large, warehouse style home-improvement store. He shared with me a story about how to help people find what they are looking for. It seems that there is a sign in the employee break room that says: “No Pointing.” The message to the store employees is that when customers ask the location of

Practicing the Skill of Silence by Michelle Bauer

Michelle Bauer April 6, 2020

Being silent is a skill we can develop.

Chess Without The Queen by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman April 1, 2020

Recently I discovered that a very effective way to learn the game of chess is to begin by playing without the Queen. Because the Queen is the strongest chess piece, players often lean heavily on her for their overall strategy. Learning to play without her, however, forces you to recognize the value of all the other pieces on board, and

Clearing Out the Hidden Guilt in your Soul by James Petticrew

James Petticrew March 31, 2020

The neighbours said they rarely saw the lady but when they did, she was always happy and well-presented. She kept the small garden at the front of the house neat and tidy. But it was clear from inside that it had been years since she had thrown anything out.

A Prayer For The Raw & Ragged by Elizabeth Glass Turner

elizabeth.turner March 28, 2020

Breath of Life, You humble us with the piercing memory of a man six years ago begging to be treated with dignity: I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe.He spoke the truth; we were busy.And now we’re all struggling to breathe.Some on ventilators.Some in panic.Some in stale rooms we didn’t choose, didn’t plan to inhabit hooked up to the life support

Order of the FLAME 2020 by Kim Reisman

World Methodist Evangelism March 28, 2020

In March the Order of the FLAME gathered at Epworth by the Sea for its annual week of Holy Spirit inspired worship and learning. What a blessed time! As always, our goal at the FLAME gathering is to plant the DNA of evangelism into young leaders so they see themselves appointed not only to their local congregations, but to their

Soul Posture for the Socially Distanced

Wesleyan Accent March 16, 2020

“The thwarting of strategy is an invitation for God to do a deeper work of character.”

Distinctive Style of Methodists: Knowing Who We Are

Maxie Dunnam February 25, 2025

Circumstances sometimes call us to do strange things – things we would not otherwise do. Circumstances also cause us to do things we should have done but never got around to before. Two out-of-town visitors were walking along a street in New York City late one night. One of the pair, wary of the reputation of city streets at night,

Thoughts From 10,000 Ft

Sarah Wanck February 21, 2025

As I type, I’m sitting (tray table down) on my American flight from Miami to Chicago. I thought maybe I’d rest. With a very long layover in Chicago I thought I’d rest now and work later. (There’s so much work to do.) But as I closed my eyes, and adjusted my headrest, I was overwhelmed. I tried not to weep.

The Human Race On Trial

Maxie Dunnam February 17, 2025

My files are flowing over with magazine and newspaper articles, cartoons, and photos. Unfortunately, I have not found a good “keeping” and “retrieval” system that is not too time costly for the reflections I prize. Yet, I saw it and I can’t forget it…a cartoon that depicted an older couple, obviously rich and retired, sitting in their posh living room.

What Is Our Worth?

Rob Haynes February 7, 2025

I am often fascinated with stories of people who unknowingly purchase rare and valuable items at a second-hand sale. A small bowl bought for just $35 at a sale in the US State of Connecticut has turned out to be a rare 15th-Century Chinese artefact from the Ming Dynasty. It was one of only seven such bowls ever made and

Count It All Joy

Maxie Dunnam February 4, 2025

What? Count it all joy? After a brief greeting, James begins his Epistle, “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.” James 1:2 KJV There is no hesitation, no fumbling to get to the point. It’s really a shout, COUNT IT ALL JOY! He continues, “when you meet various trials, for you know that the testing

Foundations of Disciple-Making: Mutual Admiration

Paulo Lopes January 31, 2025

I have the terrifying privilege of being the father of three girls. Working to understand them and their worlds has been the adventure of a lifetime. That’s because on top of being a guy, I grew up in a male dominated household, in another country to boot. It was three men (me, my brother, and my dad) and one brave

Discerning God’s Voice by David Chotka

David Chotka January 28, 2025

A definition of personal discernment is “sensing and following divine guidance.” Of course, it is essential to know that the guidance is from God and not just an echo of yesterday’s podcast. How can we “hear God” in a practical kind of way? Well, I “tripped” into that hearing—if you can call it “hearing.” “Attending to God’s leading” may be

Forever A Wonder by Maxie Dunnam

Maxie Dunnam January 24, 2025

How could I even consider just briefly nodding my mind at the incarnation with the one article I trust you received, The Scandal of the Incarnation. So, here is more since this is Christianity’s unique and central claim: the Incarnation, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” (John 1:14) Our nearest English equivalent to the Greek term that

Born To Shine by James Loftin

Joseph Seger January 21, 2025

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good

The Spiritual Power Of Now by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman January 16, 2025

Scripture Focus: You have heard my predictions and seen them fulfilled, but you refuse to admit it. Now I will tell you new things, secrets you have not yet heard. They are brand new, not things from the past. So you cannot say, ‘We knew that all the time!’ Isaiah 48:6-7 (NLT) “The day is coming,” says the Lord, “when
