Being the Vulnerable (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The vulnerable are a class of people near to God's heart. They're also a class of people the Old Testament law seeks to protect, whether the person is an orphan, widow, under-resourced, or a foreigner, people who lack power. But the law also seeks to protect the most powerful person in Israel, the king. Now, the Scriptures never seek to equate the orphan's or widow's vulnerability with that of the king. Simply, the exposure these groups face are structurally different. Yet, the law is designed t
Faithful Living While We Wait (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the parable of the ten virgins Jesus tells a story about ten women, all of whom are invited to a wedding feast. They each bring lamps, but only five bring extra oil. This only becomes an issue when the bridegroom is delayed. The women all fall asleep, and when the announcement that the groom is finally on his way comes, they all wake up, but the five without extra oil, they need to leave the site of the feast to purchase more oil. The groom arrives while they're away and they get left out of
Circles of Inclusion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the Parable of the Wheat and Tares Jesus describes to his disciples that it's better for his people to live among those who disagree with them, even those antagonistic toward their way of living and being.

One More Year (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, Carrie Buckner explores the parable of the barren fig tree and its implications for understanding God's character. In 1986 Manchester United, a Premier League soccer team, hired an unproven manager whose first three seasons were all losing seasons. But, rather than fire him, the club remained patient, and that patience produces one of the most decorated tenure's in soccer history. The parable, at its heart, is a picture of divine patience and mercy that runs deeper and that's more ext
By What Authority? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, Julia Allan walks through the Parable of the Two Sons (Matthew 21:28-32). Jesus presents this parable in the temple, the Tuesday of Holy Week, just moments after the chief priests demanded to know by what authority Jesus was teaching. In the parable, one son says the words their father wants to hear, but doesn't do what he said he would. The other outright refuses, then changes his mind and does what his father asked. And then, Jesus concludes by telling the religious leaders that tax
