Am I Ready?
I’m still reeling from the Alabama election. I was elated when Alabama citizen's didn’t elect a racist man accused of pedophilia as senator. However, when I realized the sheer number of Christians who voted for Roy Moore, my elation was quickly dampened.
The bride of Christ is supposed to be the healing balm in our world. The church is called to usher Jesus’ kingdom here.
Embrace the Wonder
My church celebrates Advent with the lighting of a candle on the Advent wreath every Sunday. Each Sunday, a family stands up front to lead us in God's Word. The children, rather than the parents, read out what the candle means.
Why I Spoke Up
My toddler sobbed uncontrollably as she tried to open the door. I calmly – or at least I tried to be calm – told her that she had to wear a diaper. She continued to pout. I continued to wait. After sobbing for a few minutes, she reluctantly realized that I was right. When God asked me to speak out publicly about racial reconciliation, I threw a tantrum that mimicked my daughter's. Like my daughter, I wanted to do it my way.
