Dave Peterson:A fire near our home consumed a large warehouse. The next day, on the edge of the road, beside the smoldering ruins, a note scrawled in green chalk on a charred piece of wood declared, “WE’RE STILL OPEN!” Hear Jesus saying, “Let it go! Whatever it is that binds you in pleasure or sorrow, let me have it and I’ll show you my glorious kingdom.” Whatever you gain or lose, stay open to

Jon Bloom @ DG:Let the unremarkable years of Genesis speak to you. A few days of your life are remarkable, containing events and experiences where you see God’s providence with startling clarity and when your faith and life course are indelibly and memorably shaped. But the vast majority of your days — likely a day like today — will pass into obscurity unrecorded and irretrievable to your memory.

Chelsen Vicari interview Brian Lee, a pastor in D>C. Said Lee:We had a young post-college 24-year old girl whose brother was a member of our church. She moved to D.C. after graduation and worshiped with us a couple times and then suddenly disappeared. I believe she visited a number of other churches because she was put off by our liturgical dynamic. It wasn’t her background. Things that aren’t

Ed Stetzer writes of the lack of discipleship in the church and that spiritual maturity should be the goal. Amen and Amen. But then what constitutes "Spiritual maturity?True spiritual depth is about understanding the Word of God and living out its truths. That should be the goal for all of us.Well, yes and no. Later in the piece, he uses the example of reading Wayne Grudem's "Systematic

Jen Pollack Michel interviews J.D. Greear about his book on the Holy Spirit. One exchange:You ask readers to move beyond theological debates over miraculous gifts (healing, prophecy, speaking in tongues). Why? Too often, discussion about the Holy Spirit runs on two tracks: the conservative track and the charismatic track. Secondary issues create a quagmire, and both sides miss the most

Chaplain Mike writes of five scriptures that are seminal to his life as a Christian. He offers a couple of paragraphs on each one and their significance to his journey. I could not help but think it was a wonderful exercise. For me Phil 2:1-11 immediately comes to mind. As does Gal. 2:20. I Kings 19 and God's still small voice to Elijah moves me deeply. What passages come to your mind

Ron Edmondson writes, "7 Ways to Better Enjoy Reading the Bible", one of countless such things I have encountered in my life and I could not help but think, "It is not THAT hard." Just read it. The Bible is no more difficult to read than any other book, just read it. You don't have to figure it all our, just read it. "How does this apply to me?" - you're just being selfish - read it. The

Christian Post carries a piece on conservatives choosing to remain within the PC(USA):The Fellowship Community is a biblically orthodox group within PCUSA. Detterman told The Christian Post in a recent interview that he and his organization are staying with the PCUSA because "it is a matter of call and of mission." "We are uniquely equipped to reach out to others in and through the PC(USA)

Alissa Wilkinson in CT looks at God, film and 2014 and says:We talked about God a lot this year in pop culture, but not the same way.In other words, we tried to define God rather than discover God. It is truly an amazing time we live in - we really do seem to think we can create reality instead of understand it. Pop culture is one thing, but I know a lot of people anymore than simply deny the
