What To Do When Life Happens
Many people find themselves in a spiritual traffic jam, lives out of control, trapped in their circumstances. Is life for you same-o, same-o every day? Have you lost your zest for living? What are you running after -- what is your life about?
The Book of Judgment – Greg Albrecht
Question:
Would you please give me your perspective – your interpretation – of biblical passages regarding a book of judgment. I am thinking in particular of a reference to names being blotted out/not found in the Lamb’s Book of Life – but of course there are other similar references to judgment in the Bible.
Response:
Thank you for a great question. There are, as you mention, many references in the Bible to books being opened, in the context of judgment. The cultural and literary context of each reference is helpful, beyond that necessary, in order to arrive at a Christ-centered interpretation. Given your reference to the ...

Life Keeps Coming and Life is Hard
Breaking news -- we humans don't live in the Garden of Eden! We live and exist in the spiritual wilderness, a parched and dry spiritual desert. Bad stuff happens and we can't always stop it. But there is good news!

A Matter of Life or Death
Our freely-given relationship with God is literally a matter of life or death. As we prepare to remember his death and celebrate his resurrection, we turn our minds and hearts to Jesus, who is the author and finisher of our faith.

Life in the Pigpen – Bill Soinski
Life in the pigpen was great for the little piglet. The sow kept him well fed during the day and he would snuggle up to her during the night to keep nice and warm. And then there was the mud! What more could a piglet ask for? It was squishy and gooey and he would roll around in it to make him cool and comfortable in the noonday sun. The piglet felt like there was nothing else he would ever need in life.
Then one day he heard a voice calling from beyond the pen. He knew there had to be something else outside the pen but never gave it much thought. After all, what else did he need that wasn’t already in his life? But that faint voice kept ...
Fabric of Our Life – Stuart Segall
Isn’t this amazing….
I was captivated when I saw this. It was like a sunset, a landscape, a wondrous seascape. Yet, when I imagine what this dress is made of and the work that went into it, I understand the heart, soul, and emotions involved in the final touch of the artist/tailor/seamstress that finished it.
When you weave different fabrics together like silk or satin you get an amazing fabric. They are not durable and must be handled with care, but when that is done, you get a look of beauty and richness that is second to none. It is all about what the weaver and the tailor choose to create.
As a boy, I worked in a tailor’s shop ...

It’s Good to Be Alive
It's one of two times in the year when brick-and-mortar churches have their highest attendance. It's without a doubt the most meaningful time of the year for Christians, but Easter lilies, bunny rabbits, Easter hams, painted and chocolate eggs can take our attention away from the vital life-giving significance of this spiritual victory we celebrate every spring.
Easter signals new life springing from what is seemingly dead and lifeless. Gray gives way to green. Ice melts and snow is replaced by the promise of buds and sprouts. Light overcomes darkness. The light and life that comes bursting from an empty tomb triumphs over death on the cross, a ...
