Being Good Company (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Menander was a Greek playwright and poet who lived just above 300 years prior to the birth of Christ. His work was well-known enough that the Apostle Paul quoted him nearly centuries after his death. “Bad company corrupts good morals,” Paul wrote to the Corinthian church. Is this not, in part, what the prophets of old were proclaiming? It is this which God warned Moses and then Joshua regarding their settling in the land of Canaan. It is not that the Canaanites were bad people, but as a company,

How arrogant we can be when we read the Bible. In large and small ways, we easily and casually make the words be about ourselves. When Jesus proclaims, “you are the light of the world,” we get that little lift to our souls, and when Jesus speaks gently to Nicodemus, we hear “For God so loved you…”Trust me, I am not saying that either is false in itself.

Peter worked away on that boat, perhaps fixing a tear in a net, cleaning debris from it, or grumbling over the lack of a catch. We don’t know.

Have you noticed the trend in people, when their lives are uprooted in any fashion, whether a new conviction or a deep trauma, that their values shift in a profound way. In my youth, it was not uncommon to hear of people destroying their rock albums when they became a Christian. We’ve heard the stories of those who suddenly stopped drinking alcohol when a loved one suffers due to a drunk driving accident. We shift like a pendulum in our values due to forces outside of ourselves quite easily.God
How He Fulfills (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I had an ‘ah hah’ moment a few weeks back, about something that I’ve known well, expressed well, believed in deeply…and yet, there was a bigger and broader understanding (if you could call it that) which hit me. It was regarding the enormity of grace and the ramifications of its reality for all people. This is what must be called a slow growth. While the moment was brief and ‘sparkly’ in my spiritual awareness, it did not happen because of that moment, it happened because of walking out my faith
