RSS FeedWHAT IS YOUR IDENTITY?
The importance of human identity is constantly in the news. We are supposedly defined by our race, our gender, our sexual preference, our past, our abilities and our opportunities instead of by “the content of our character” (Martin Luther King Jr.). We are being...
SEEING THE BIG PICTURE
When my grandson and I were working on a jigsaw puzzle I discovered that he was more adept than I in finding the pieces we were looking for to complete a section. I was wishing that the pieces were larger. I could see the big picture but found it hard to see which...
GLORYING IN CREATION
John Piper recalled eleven resolutions Clyde Kilby, professor at Wheaton College and C.S. Lewis scholar, made for staying alive to God’s glory in creation. At least once every day I shall look steadily up at the sky and remember that I, a consciousness with a...
