Living Faith
March 8, 2021 | By Gabbi Zegers
“And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’” Matthew 28:18-20
Barren Bush or Fertile Tree?

Our Lenten journey is well underway, which is why I want to offer a quick reflection on the possible temptations that may arise—or may have already risen—in the middle of our respective paths toward Easter Sunday.
At the risk of being reductive, if you had to pick between these two persons reflecting on their Lenten journey, which would you pick?
Playing at Lent
Feb 23, 2021 | By Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe Professor Emeritus of Divinity and Law.
I have always thought that Lent is a dangerous time for Christians. This time in the church year I fear tempts us to play at being a Christian. We are to discipline our lives during Lent in order to discover and repent of those sins that prevent us from the wholehearted worship of God. That is a perfectly appropriate ambition, but we are not very good at it. We are not very good at it because in general we are not very impressive sinners.
Humble Offerings

On a good day (when everything is going smoothly, I’m not on a strict deadline, and I’ve gotten plenty of sleep), it’s easier to cut other people slack when they’re being less than their best selves. A person I’m meeting with is 40 minutes late? It’s okay, I’ll just get some other work done. The lady was mean to me at the post office? Hope her day gets better. Drunk guy falls asleep on me on the metro Sunday morning? Hey buddy, this is kinda weird, but you’re clearly not doing this on purpose. Be careful getting home, okay?
Tough-minded and Tenderhearted
Feb 16, 2021 | By Andrew Raines Duke ‘21
Throughout the year, the Church follows the whole course of Jesus’ life from birth to ascension. We do so because we believe Christ’s life brings us life. If we stumble along in his footsteps, our lives will be changed for the better.
So, Lent is the time when Christians prepare for sharing in Jesus’ resurrection on Easter by first reliving his 40 days in the desert. We walk with him through his experience of deprivation and temptation in the wilderness (Luke 4:1–13; Matthew 4:1-11). .
Even Now He Harvests

Farming is an expertise. Having lived on a farm in northeast Georgia, I speak from experience. Ever since I can remember, Angus cows, Massey Ferguson tractors, and southern rodeos have always been as commonplace to me as walking. Farming, however, is more than animals and machinery.
