Gracious Lost People Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 9, 2009

Struggling To Know Who We Are Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 14, 2010

Like Hosea's children, we name our selves by our sad history, by our isolation, and by our alienation. But in Christ our Brother all these defects are remedied.

A good many of us, I would guess, are less than happy with our names. What Mom and Dad decided to call us before we had a voice in the matter. Well, I suspect a good many of us would like to change. Some of us just refuse to use our real names. We go by Butch or Bud or Sissie or some such ...read more

His Poverty, Our Wealth

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 22, 2009

Ours are uncertain times, like those into which Jesus came. But God in Christ invested for the long haul and pours Himself into something risky. So therefore can we.

These are uncertain times. And in uncertain times uncertain people do irrational things, destructive things. People who are drifting, people who have no anchor, people who have no center - in uncertain times, such people do things which destroy. The pages of the calendar are turning toward ...read more

And it depends on whether you have decided to see what is really there or just what you think is there. "Seeing is believing." It depends on whether you can trust your eyesight. My ...read more
