Think about people who find themselves in religious ruts. They discover a number of things about themselves. They will find that they are getting older but not getting any holier. Time is their enemy, not their friend. The time they trusted and looked to is betraying them, for they often said to

Some might think that a sermon examining doctrine is dry and boring. More than that, they might think that doctrine isn’t as important as something you can apply directly to your life situation.
You might think, you want something that will help you with your marriage, with your other

"I think it makes perfectly good sense that the Kansas Board of Education has deleted any mention of evolution from the state’s science curriculum. A state’s curriculum should reflect the intellectual level of its leaders. If, indeed, those leaders have second thoughts about evolution, it may be

don’t think that there is any better answer to that question than the one given by the great painter Renoir. In old age the great French painter, suffered from arthritis, which twisted and cramped his hand. Henri Matise, his artist friend, watched sadly while Renoir, grasping a brush with only his

"For a long time I used to think this a silly, straw-splitting distinction: how could you hate what a man did and not hate the man? But years later it occurred to me that there was one [person] to whom I’ve been doing this all my life– namely myself. However much I might dislike my own cowardice or

I was thinking the other day about a humorous discussion on how to pray. It is a good illustration what we’re talking about here. The discussion went something like this:
“The Proper way for men to Pray,
