Christ said it was difficult for “the rich” to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, referring, no doubt, to “riches” in the ordinary sense. But I think it really covers riches in every sense – good fortune, health, popularity and all the things one wants to have. All these things tend – just as money tends – to make you feel independent of God, because if you have them you are happy already and...

The real problem of the Christian life comes where people do not usually look for it. It comes the very moment you wake up each morning. All your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists simply in shoving them all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other larger, stronger, quieter life...

snippets of psalm 38
O Lord, all my longing is before you; my sighing is not hidden from you. My heart throbs; my strength fails me, and the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me. My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague, and my nearest kin stand far off.
But for you, O Lord, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.
For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever before me. I...

hi, i'm justin.
Many of you - well alright, maybe just a couple of you - have been asking how I’ve been lately. I’m realizing that I’ve been hesitant to answer that question because I would have been confronted with a reality that I didn’t and still don’t want to accept. Saying it or writing it down would make it all the more real and tangible. But here I am sitting in front of my laptop at 1:30 AM typing away....

Mark Driscoll says Yoga is Demonic →
thekevinkim:
I guess I shouldn’t do yoga anymore…
Although Driscoll makes a number of valid points within the piece, I was surprised to find that his principal theological sentiments were seemingly at odds with Justin Holcomb, a fellow pastor at Mars Hill Church. In a recent post on the Resurgence website, Holcomb discusses how Christians should respond and relate to Halloween. Refuting Pat...

A beautifully written piece by Emily Rapp
And there’s this: parents who, particularly in this country, are expected to be superhuman, to raise children who outpace all their peers, don’t want to see what we see. The long truth about their children, about themselves: that none of it is forever.

Service-Learning
Over the past couple of years, I have had the privilege of working with a group of Cornell students, faculty members, and administrators to strengthen the University’s commitment to service-learning and public engagement. Yesterday, Cornell announced plans for a new Center for Community Engaged Learning and Research, and I couldn’t be more excited. The new Center will “make community-based...
