Jewish Nationalism in the First Century and American Nationalism in the 21st Century
The Jewish nation into which Jesus was born had both national pride and national hope. In the days of King David and King Solomon, they were one of the greatest nations on earth. The riches in Israel amassed in Solomon’s day, as shown in the construction of God’s...
A Line That Cannot Be Walked
Introduction We have all watched highwire artists walking some type of tightrope, an act that causes our nervous system to shout, “Danger!” Most of us will never attempt such a daring act and the very thought of it puts our anxiety level on high alert. But there is...
One Way of Contrasting Consumer Christianity with True Christianity
Dallas Willard is often credited with popularizing the concept of spiritual formation. Instead of leaving spiritual growth as merely something to shoot for in a general way (go to church, read your Bible and pray), spiritual formation suggests specific goals with...
Trust and Obey – or Obey and Trust? Part Two
A Sad Late Addition After writing what is now called Part One of this article, something much more current popped into my mind (and heart). Reading again that little adage regarding acting yourself into a better way of thinking rather than vice versa jogged my memory...
Trust and Obey – or Obey and Trust? Part One
The old hymn has a popular stanza that puts it this way: “Trust and obey, for there’s no other way, to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.” It is obvious, of course, that the more we trust, the more likely we are to obey. But I definitely disagree with the...

Although I don’t mention it often, I have mentioned publicly a number of times through the years that I don’t vote. I recently received a letter from a good friend who has a hard time with me over my position and urged me to rethink it. I promised him and others on a...
Agree on Everything? by Jonathan Lichtenwalter
As I have written elsewhere, I believe scripture is best viewed as a guide that leads us Christ, rather than as a rulebook to be uncritically applied to any and every context. I also am convinced that even the best of Christian traditions is full of failures and...
I Just Want to Hear Your Voice – Episode 1, by David Malutinok
Introduction to this Essay Series C.S. Lewis, who was no stranger to tragedies in his life once wrote “Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.” My life experienced a tragedy on March 30, 2009, when our middle...
What is Sound Doctrine Anyway?
Recently, Jeanie Shaw published her doctoral dissertation in edited book format, “Re-Examining Our Lenses,” and I have published my book, “The Bible and Women: How Did I Miss So Much.” These books both deal with similar topics, topics which are both complex and...
Gobsmacked Again (by the Lamb Family)!
This British word basically means to be shocked or astounded. Simon on America’s Got Talent has used the term occasionally and his face reflects the definition. I just read Roger and Marcia Lamb’s new book, “This Doesn’t Feel Like Love Either.” After reading it, the...
