From Polarization to Pluralism
15 Jul, 2024
We know that our world is becoming more and more polarized. Issues are seen as black and white. We are expected to judge things as right or wrong, good or bad. We are being pulled by seemingly diametrically opposed sides to choose. All shades...
Demands of Liberating Love
08 Jul, 2024
Last week we read John 13 in which Jesus says, “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another just as I loved you.” What is love? Love is an action. Love is choosing to act in such a way as to nurture someone’s soul, or life force...
Liberating Power of Choosing Love
01 Jul, 2024
The liberating power of choosing love. That phrase prompts three questions for me. What is love? Can we really choose love? And how is it a liberating power? To have this conversation, first we need to get “falling in love” out of our heads...
Liberation of Being Loved as We Are
24 Jun, 2024
Meister Eckhart tells a story about a little donkey who labors all day long, sometimes with heavy loads on her back and sometimes just with worries about the things that bother only donkeys. And worries, as we know, can be more exhausting than...
Renewing Faith in Ourselves
10 Jun, 2024
Sharon Salzberg, in her book Faith , writes, "I want to invite a new use of the word faith, one that is not associated with a dogmatic religious interpretation or divisiveness. I want to encourage delight in the word, to help reclaim faith as...
Renewing Our Faith in Life
03 Jun, 2024
As we continue this conversation on renewing faith, let me reiterate that faith is not to be confused with belief, or adherence to certain religious doctrine, or even belief in a certain God. Faith is about trusting the essential benevolence in...
Renewing Our Faith in Jesus
28 May, 2024
I’ve never been a Jesus freak. When I was a student pastor, there was a woman at the church who was constantly talking about Jesus, praying to him, referring to him. In her eyes, he absolutely was her savior, but maybe even more than that he...
Live For Those Things Worth Dying For
20 May, 2024
Let’s be clear, Jesus didn’t die to save humankind from their sins. That’s a great cover story and it’s been really effective. No, he died trying to save Judaism from its corrupt leadership. The Jewish authorities had sold out to Rome for...
Ground of All Being
13 May, 2024
I wasn’t brought up in a church. In retrospect, I think nature was my sanctuary, my church, when I was young. I grew up on an acre of land in Brookfield and there was an empty lot adjoining ours. Along the back of that property was an area...
Breath Bridge
06 May, 2024
In Acts 17, the author reminds us that God does not live in a sanctuary, or temple, or mosque, or cathedral, or anything made by human hands. This seems like a no-brainer to us, but the ancient people weren't there yet. Plus, the author tells...
