Send us a text Give From Love And Gratitude Not Greed Here’s a passage probably not many of us are familiar with: “Give to the Most High as he has given to you and as generously as you can afford. For the Lord is the one who repays, and he will repay you sevenfold. Do not offer him a bribe, for he will not accept it, and do not rely on a dishonest sacrifice, for the Lord is the judge, and with him there is no partiality.” - Sirach 35:12-15 The meaning here is similar to Luke 6:39 ...

Send us a text When We Are Overwhelmed By Evil “When deeds of iniquity overwhelm us, you forgive our transgressions.” - Psalm 65:3 Many of us know that it is better to forgive. We know it’s better to let go of our anger and bitterness instead of holding onto them. But we are overwhelmed with our pain and can’t yet seem to let go. Many of us know that we are not in the right places, doing the right things, with the right people. But we feel stuck, maybe even trapped. It’s what we know an...

Send us a text Trust In God’s Abundance “The threshing floors shall be full of grain; the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.” - Joel 2:24 I’m convinced that our lack of hospitality, our lack of generosity, our envy, jealousy are rooted in fear.

Send us a text What’s Going On? How Can We Help? As part of my service on the Mennonite Mission Network Board of Directors, I recently had the opportunity to visit a community on the US southern border. We wanted to better understand what’s going on and how we and other people of good will can help. I’m convinced that the answers we get depend on the questions we ask. In seeing the U.S.’s current response, there’s no doubt in my mind a primary question U.S. policy makers...

Send us a text Acceptance Is More Than Tolerance “Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters” - Romans 14:1 In a pluralistic, multicultural, group as the early Jesus movement was, disagreements and disputes were inevitable. They may have agreed that they were all called to love God and their neighbor, but they were never going to agree on what love looks like when put into practice. For Paul, the first principle is mutual acceptance. We may beli...
