Book Review: A Lot Like Christmas by Connie Willis 7:16

With this recipe in mind, she has been writing Christmas stories for years and has pulled them together for this collection of short stories.

And all of…

Reflection: His Everlasting Light 5:00

There will come a day when “night will be no more” and we “need no light of lamp or sun,” because the Lord God will be our light. Until then, the eyes of our hearts can be enlightened, and we can walk as children of light. In the first chapter of Paul's letter to the Ephesians, he tells them he is praying that God will give them a spirit of wisdom …

“See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no ‘root of bitterness’ springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled” (Heb. 12:15). It’s disturbing the way God startles you into looking at something you’ve been busy not seeing. I’ve read through Hebrews many times and noted the phrase “root of bitterness.” I’ve even lo…

Reflection: My Word of the Year for 2025 9:37

9:37

by Sara Masarik A few years ago, I became aware of the practice of prayerfully discerning a word of the year (or phrase) that could be used as a touchstone for the upcoming year. This word is not a charm nor an omen, but rather it is a reminder of some spiritual concept or truth that I wish to contemplate this year. It is a word to be used as an an…

Book Review (Cautionary): Brooklyn Rose by Ann Rinaldi 5:13

5:13

The more Ann Rinaldi I read, the more her writing disappoints me. Brooklyn Rose had the potential to be a charming and interesting historical novel, but several recurring flaws render it unsuitable for a thoughtful young adult audience or a library that aims to provide living books and quality historical fiction. The book centers around Rose Frampt…

"One of the most disturbing instances of idol worship in the Old Testament is when the Israelites were waiting at the foot of Mt. Sinai for Moses to come back down.

“So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him” (2. Cor. 5:9 ESV). What really got me thinking about how we use these words were the two translations that said, “We try our best.” Because what Paul says he is “trying his best” to do is to please Jesus. And the reason is that we are all going to appear before his judgment seat …

If Paul considered his affliction light and momentary, what are we called to think about ours? He didn’t have anything we can’t have.

It was a command followed by instructions on how to do that. “Put on the whole armor of God,” and when y…

The life of Joseph, in the Old Testament, is a vivid example of the shade of God’s hand. Joseph was a favored son of his father. He also had the gift of interpreting dreams.
