Jesus Creed
I’m wondering if any would like to “tell their story” of the value they’ve found in learning to pray “with” the Church by using set prayers at set times — that is, the formative influence of fixed hour prayers. Read more

Christmas, for Joseph, meant that God was at work on earth (1:20-21). It strains my mental abilities to think that Joseph could knowingly become the (adopted) father of a baby who was “Immanuel” — God with us. I’m not sure he was thinking (in fact, I’m quite sure he was not) in terms of the Second Person of the Trinity, but still — he clearly knows this baby is the presence of God and will be the saving presence of...

Here’s the cover to a little book I’ve written that will come out early next summer. It is written with the hope that more of us will join the millions who pray at set hours with set prayers — as Jesus did. |inline Read more

On a previous post I gave an outline of why I think the pacifist case deserves more hearing; it was hard to read, as some of you commented, because it was an outline and a series of questions. Someday I’ll fill it in. Last night I got home from LA to find this long comment on that post by Karen Spears Zacharias, whose book (Hero Mama) I have urged on others to read, and it is worth putting here: |inline Read more
Christ Plays 2 (pp. 49-84) This mega-blog with pastors and friends, and anyone else who wants to speak up, is about E. Peterson’s new book, Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places, and we are doing about 30 pages a week. This week’s reading is from the chapter “Christ Plays in Creation” and we are taking a big chunk of that chapter. I am summarizing the material and inviting others to reflect on the reading – but anyone who’d like to... Read more

Christmas meant that Joseph learned that sometimes God surprises (1:20-21) I doubt that many think of Joseph when, this Christmas, they give to their loved ones a “good surprise” at Christmas. We’ve all had our share of presents that were both surprises and generally unwelcomed ones. The best presents, of course, are both surprises and “just what we wanted.” The joy of it all rolls out in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. |inline Read more
If you are going to spend some money on a Christmas present, I reason to myself, you might as well spend it on something that will last. So, I suggest a fountain pen if you are so inclined: |inline Read more
