The Healing Power Of Honoring Others by Elizabeth Glass Turner

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

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

God’s Message to Missionaries and Immigrants by Luiz Cardoso

Joseph Seger October 29, 2026

Jeremiah 29 and the Blueprint for Cross-Cultural Ministry In the 29th chapter of Jeremiah, the prophet pens an infamous letter to a people living in exile. Many are quick to rush to verse 11 for God’s plans, but verses 4-7 offer first a blueprint on how to be a faithful person in a foreign land. There is instruction on how

Agape Without Hypocrisy

James Petticrew October 16, 2026

In 1314, wounded English knights fled south through Scotland towards the safety of the English border after their cataclysmic defeat at the Battle of Bannockburn. Overcome by weakness and pain, some fell from their horses. Many were left to die, but more compassionate locals took others to the abbeys dotted throughout the Scottish borders. These abbeys had infirmaries and monks

Waiting To Live

Maxie Dunnam October 13, 2026

It is true that most of us spend our lives waiting to live. We see today as such a mundane time, so insignificant, so unexciting. But once we change our focus and begin to encounter the events of today with vitality and purpose, all sorts of changes take place. This is especially true in our personal relationships. The people we

Christian Discipleship In The Age of AI

Larry Frank September 24, 2026

Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in a plenary panel on the future of theological education. One of the questions put to us was about artificial intelligence and the role it may increasingly play in ministry: sermon preparation, program development, communication, congregational engagement, and more. My answer was fairly straightforward. AI is not a fringe issue anymore, and no

Being Our Whole Self

Maxie Dunnam September 15, 2026

I don’t know when it actually began. Maybe in that little church in rural Mississippi when a country preacher sounded a note that called for a response from a fourteen-year-old boy in the congregation. The package was too neatly wrapped and tied then. The walk down the aisle, the public profession of faith, and the baptism did not bring the

The Methodist Church of Southern Africa

World Methodist Evangelism September 11, 2026

In 1816, a missionary’s refusal to stop preaching grew into a church that shaped Nelson Mandela’s education and is now led, back to back, by two women bishops. That stubborn act of obedience became the seed of what’s now one of the largest Christian movements on the African continent.

Josh Orndorff September 11, 2026

Movement. It is a word that I hear often when it comes to living our faith. I coach in an organization that desires movement. The theme of my Annual Conference this summer was movement. Our mission at World Methodist Evangelism is to “help leaders build faith-sharing movements.” As people who believe in the movement of the Holy Spirit witnessed at

Growth Is Not Accidental

Maxie Dunnam September 8, 2026

Growth is not accidental – it is intentional, purposeful. There are leaps which we make unconsciously, and great strides in development often come as by-products. Primarily, however, we make the decision to grow. This is not to say that we manufacture growth. We don’t, no more than a doctor manufactures healing. We simply become persons open to the possibility and
