Whatever happened to loving one another?
Jesus is building his church. Repeatedly, he announced the key: “Love one another.” So what does that look like? And why is it so rare in the church today?
A song, a Savior, his love for us all
How a once-in-a-lifetime trip and a remarkable song opened my heart to people and to “the Savior of the world, the Lord who loves us all.”
Prayer of the Body, for the Body, of Christ
A prayer “that, as the Bride of Christ, we will continue to learn to ‘walk in beauty’ with our fellow man and God." - Mark Charles
Heartcry of one who overcomes
“I so want to be a woman of grace in all this!” she cried, through deep, wrenching sobs. In that holy moment, I heard the heartcry of one who overcomes.
To the exiles scattered by toxic church
Maybe the church has become bewildering to you. Leaders you trusted and people you respected are acting in ways that do not reflect who Jesus is, nor what they profess to believe. They have turned on anyone among them who appears to threaten the status quo. What is going on?
Believer! The truth will set you free
Jesus said, “the truth will set you free.” Now I see this diamond in its setting. I hear the urgency in his cry to us all.
Adulthood and the church that rejects it
Frustrated, exhausted, I realized: I would never count as an adult in my church system. Free at last, I’m embracing the adulthood God works in his own.
Strange fruit – or good?
"The Church's broken history with race needs to be acknowledged before we can move forward."
Listen to the whole Body
It's crucial that we humbly receive what the Lord Jesus wants to pour into our lives through others who love him but look and think differently from us.
